		<title>Darlings are so summer</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Hey! This band is good. Check them out.

I don&#8217;t know why I picked these two songs because the whole album is great, really. You should buy it. Perfect, sincere garage pop songs that sound like good times in warm weather.

		<title>A true cinematic tour-de-force: Tommy Wiseau&#8217;s The Room</title>
		<description><![CDATA[
Oh hai guys!
This is the best/worst movie you will ever see.
What people are saying:
&#8220;[Wiseau] is a tantalizing mystery stuffed inside an enigma wrapped in bacon and smothered in cheese. Tommy looks out of place, out of time and out of this world.&#8221;
- IMDB reviewer
&#8220;As if a deer made a movie about human interaction, unable to [...]]]></description>

From Ghostwritten by David Mitchell:
When I was younger I thought that kids were an inevitable part of getting old. I thought you&#8217;d wake up one morning and there they&#8217;d be, nappies bulging. But no, you actually have to make up your mind to do them, like making up your mind to buy a house, cut [...]]]></description>

		<title>Out of the 70s, into the 80s</title>
		<description><![CDATA[i love synths. Watch the entirety of BBC&#8217;s recent documentary &#8220;Synth Britannia&#8221; covering the glory of synths in the U.K. and the groups that pioneered the sound (for eventual abuse by New York hipsters).

For an abridged version, here is a video of three guys performing an 80s synth hits medley:

		<title>Ethereal Rinko Kawauchi</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I spent my Thanksgiving turkey-gorging at a Park Slope home owned by a couple who are both involved in photography. Naturally, their apartment was stocked with art books. The best find &#8212; Aila (2004), by the Japanese photographer Rinko Kawauchi. This woman&#8217;s square-format pictures are stunning! They really seem to capture many of the chief [...]]]></description>

		<title>Advanced capitalism</title>
		<description><![CDATA[
From Dance Dance Dance by Haruki Murakami:
I enjoy shopping at [the fancy-schmancy Kinokuniya supermarket]. You may not believe this, but the lettuce you buy there lasts longer than lettuce anywhere else. Don&#8217;t ask me why. Maybe they round up the lettuce after they close for the day and give them special training. It wouldn&#8217;t surprise [...]]]></description>

Her backing band consisted of several more friends, one of whom demanded that I post this video (in which for some reason he is dead-center and [...]]]></description>

		<title>On connoisseurship in general</title>
		<description><![CDATA[From Joel Stein&#8217;s Awesome Column on California&#8217;s medical marijuana dispensaries in the November 16, 2009 issue of TIME Magazine:
Legitimizing pot hasn&#8217;t created more users; it has just produced more annoying ones, who now apply Whole Foods-ian levels of snobbiness to the differences between Hawaiian Sativa and Humboldt Indica.

From A Heartbreaking Work of Staggering Genius by Dave Eggers:
I pull up to a light, next to a bunch of young black kids. Maybe they&#8217;ll shoot me. I&#8217;m in the zone of all probability. I cannot be surprised. Earthquakes, locusts, poison rain would not impress me. Visits from God, unicorns, bat-people with torches and scepters&#8211;it&#8217;s [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Memory Tapes is the lovechild of NJ producer Dayve Hawk&#8217;s two solo projects: Weird Tapes and Memory Cassette. (Can we expect future releases under &#8220;Weird Cassette&#8221; to round out this quadfecta of aliases?)

The first three tracks on the new album, Seek Magic, are absolute money. Give &#8220;Green Knight&#8221; a listen&#8211;yes, that is indeed a basketball [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[A new discovery: Swedish music label Sincerely Yours (home to Air France, Tough Alliance, etc.) sells&#8211;in addition to records and &#8220;normal&#8221; band merchandise&#8211;bulletproof vests. Unfortunately it&#8217;s no longer for sale. Seems to have sold out as an April 2007 limited edition. Too bad, it sounds like a must-have.

From <a href="http://www.amazon.com/Book-Laughter-Forgetting-Milan-Kundera/dp/0060932147">The Book of Laughter and Forgetting</a> by Milan Kundera:

<blockquote>
[B]eauty vanished long ago. It vanished under the surface of the noise--the noise of words, the noise of cars, the noise of music--we live in constantly. It has been drowned like Atlantis. All that remains of it is the word, whose meaning becomes less intelligible with every passing year.</blockquote>

<blockquote>
One morning (and it will be soon), when everyone wakes up as a writer, the age of universal deafness and incomprehension will have arrived.</blockquote>]]></description>
