John Cale on I’ve Got a Secret, September 16, 1963
Submitted by: dailylolpic.tumblr.com
I’m kind of curious as to when, exactly, the last genuine question was asked on Yahoo Answers. I’m guessing it was some time in the last eight months or so, but maybe it was earlier than that, even.

I may be reblogging this a lot.

Just a day after Apple captured the attention of tech world with its groundbreaking new iPad, a high-powered mobile device similar to the iPhone but larger, Microsoft CEO Steve Ballmer announced a new rival product called “Just A Huge Fucking Zune.”
“You know what, fuck you guys,” said Ballmer in the opening moments of his keynote address. “I’ve given you tablet computers for years. And nobody gives a flying fuck,” he continued, “but here comes Steve fucking Jobs and everybody pretends like this fickle old fucking wench of a computing device category never even fucking existed.” Ballmer then angrily advanced his PowerPoint slides to reveal the new product: a twelve-by-ten-inch Zune MP3 player.
Ballmer announced the new device would come in 8GB and 16GB sizes. As for other features, he explained, “it’s just a big fucking Zune, okay?” and then stormed off stage to “go scrap the fucking Surface department.”
The Magnetic Fields - “You Must Be Out Of Your Mind”
If you think you can leave the past behind
You must be out of your mind
If you think you can simply press rewind
You must be out of your mind, son
You must be out of your mind.
This is a very good song on a record that I am currently unsold on.

The Embassy - “C’est la vie, c’est embassy”
The Embassy started a label, Look, which consists of a whole lot of Tumblrs and will likely be releasing music from Most Valuable Players, who haven’t done anything since 2006, and probably Erik De Vahl, but I’m not sure about that yet.
I guess the first release is this short song, which I hope isn’t going to be the only thing that the Embassy does this year, though it could be; the band hasn’t released more than one song a year since 2005.
More than anything else, as far as I can tell the Look website (and the Embassy) are about constantly adding vague content, then taking it down within a day or two. Every time I’ve taken a look at the thing it seems like some small (and probably meaningless) detail changes for no real reason.
