There is or was a legal entity named “Whatever, LLC”.
Open Note to My Colleagues: Can you please stop calling me? It’s nearly seven, I need to finish editing this brief, and the Blackhawks game starts in a half-hour. And there’s, you know, the buttload of snow I have to get through to make it to my dinner plans on time (read: fashionably late). K, thanks.

Karaoke-related killings are not limited to the Philippines. In the past two years alone, a Malaysian man was fatally stabbed for hogging the microphone at a bar and a Thai man killed eight of his neighbors in a rage after they sang John Denver’s “Take Me Home, Country Roads.” Karaoke-related assaults have also occurred in the United States, including at a Seattle bar where a woman punched a man for singing Coldplay’s “Yellow” after criticizing his version.

maura:
The Pitchfork Music Festival is my favorite of all the multi-day musical extravaganzas. A lovely location, really well-run, prices on food and water that aren’t wallet-gouging. And hey:
This year’s festival welcomes the highly anticipated return of legendary band Pavement as they make one of their first appearances since reuniting! Pavement will perform on Sunday night. Friday features indie-rock, chart-topping mainstays Modest Mouse, while Saturday and Sunday sees performances by LCD Soundsystem, Raekwon, Here We Go Magic, St. Vincent, Lightning Bolt, Cass McCombs and Sleigh Bells.
Did you know that Pavement played an outdoor show at my college on my birthday in 1994? It capped off my freshman year. I remember thinking that it was the best way to end a nine-month period that was pretty transformative for me in mostly good ways.
And I wore, ahem, green short overalls from the Gap that day. FASHION.
Lighting Bolt? Really? Fun times in my neighborhood!

Real talk. I wish I could get my brother to understand this, but it’s tough to reason with someone who’s broke-r than I am.

Oops, fixed. Minus the self-righteous comment. Seriously, it’s time to watch this film.

Yes, yes and yes. Time to watch this film again. (I wanted to add, “with my fiancee”, but realized that would be gratuitous. Oh wait. Sorry everyone, I’m still shocked/stoked!)
