This brightens my day: footage of George Harrison (the Best Beatle, hands down) performing at the concert for Bangladesh in 1971. Love, love, love. YouTube, you are the champion.

No hate for SATC from moi, but maybe your personality is, in fact, linked to your favorite Sleater-Kinney member. Like, if you're a Corin, you're the bad-ass activist one. Or something. I haven't really fully fleshed this out.
Moving on: who doesn't have a girl crush on Carrie Brownstein? She has the greatest NPR BLOG. Could there be anything better? This post in particular made me nod in agreement on all points. Also? I hate twee fans too, even though I once considered myself one.
From an email received earlier on the subject of my (other) future husband, Joe Pernice:
Primarily known as a recording artist, Joe wrote the novella Meat is Murder for Continuum Books' 33 1/3 series in 2003. That book remains one of the bestselling pieces in that series, and Joe is working with Neal Huff, an actor who appears regularly on HBO's The Wire, on the Meat is Murder screenplay. Again, he is not forthcoming on when that project might see the light of day. He also previously published a volume of poetry called Two Blind Pigeons, on his own Ashmont Books imprint. That remains the bestselling (only) piece on Ashmont Books.
"The Wire" is connected to The Indie Rock and I didn't even know it. Consider my mind blown.
