Chuck Klosterman on tUnE-yArDs →
This sentence is 100% true: “The only thing I knew was that the words ‘Tune Yards’ were spelled ‘tUnE-yArDs,’ which seemed like reason enough to ignore it (not a good reason, but a reason nonetheless) w h o k i l l is still a fantastic album, and Merrill Garbus still puts on a fantastic show, but that sentence is still absolutely correct.

Brownstoner: Over-the-Top Mansion in Clinton Hill →
leilacohanmiccio: You know, I would place getting rich pretty low on my list of ambitions. I would love to have more money than I currently do, but really, I just want to be fiscally comfortable. But looking at this house does something to my brain that floods all of my fairweather socialist tendencies with OH MY GOD LET’S ALL GET RICH WHAT’S THE PROBLEM WITH BEING THE 1% AAAH AAAH AAAH THAT...

Lost Subway Map →
Yes, WNYC, I will read and listen to almost anything about lost of forgotten subway lines and terminals as I find it endlessly fascinating. If you did not hear the story this morning, check it out here. The part at the end about FDR’s personal train station under Grand Central is a mind blower.

Have you ever heard a grown man yelp at the gym...
I joined a gym yesterday, and I had my first meeting with a trainer today. She kicked my ass, made me realize I don’t have what they call a, “core,” and above all, taught me how to kegel. Now I am the human equivalent of a puddle of mud, and I’m kicking myself for not doing it sooner. With bikini season right around the corner, the next time we hang out, just FYI, I might...

I have friends who like Swedish pop sensation, Robyn, and I also have friends from New Jersey like myself, so finally I have a post that will satisfy both camps. Apparently, Robyn’s stylist, Decida, says she gets inspiration from the 1992 cult-favorite documentary Wildwood, N.J. about girls in Wildwood, which is pretty incredible if you’ve ever seen clips from the 1992 cult-favorite...

American City Flag Survey Results →
So here’s a thing that exists, the North American Vexillological Association (vexillology is the scholarly study of flags) ranked the flags of 150 American cities, with DC coming out on top. Its based on the coat of arms of George Washington. Its a pretty badass flag. Chicago is second, also a bad ass flag. The blue lines represent the water, the river and the lake, and the four stars...

Check out the Radiolab episode of highlights of some truly interesting stories featuring Nicholas Felton, scoring modern electronic devices and a particularly nagging piece of San Franciscan graffiti.
