I got my new glasses, amongst other things (mostly work).

Yeah, but free (as long as you buy it directly from us).

Well this is interesting:

Outstanding, thought Laura Prepon's performance in particular was Emmy worthy. Set aside the fact that the relationship is between two women and set in jail, the whole roller coaster ride of a relationship was just a little too familiar. Was really disappointed that her appearance in season 2 will be much less.

This was posted by Left Hand with the caption, "Best. Smelling. Van. Ever." http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BxB2Lb-4dQM It's like Edgar Wright did the sound effects. And at the other end of the spectrum: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q64hTNEj6KQ "Wait, 40%? That's actually quite a lot."

several hours old dehydrated sandwiches leftover from catering -- because free

Radio play based loosely on Dark Side o' the Moon "The secret of life is...this is not a drill." I love it.

I'm streaming Hesitation Marks now, but it's only 1:01:57 on iTunes, I'm curious what the second hour is...remixes? Or weird shit?

Yidhra, Hexed -- RIYL old school Black Sabbath...with a better vocalist than Ozzy. Yeah, I said it.

Oh, c'mon, it wasn't that bad. I still can't stop thinking about her tongue. Second only to Gene Simmons...but a lot prettier than Gene Simmons... EDIT: ...with the caveat that I'm single. And a pervert. And with the maturity of a 12-year-old (as I was reminded the other day). So YMMV. EDIT #2: I figured out what all that tongue-lolling was about! And it had nothing to do with Gene Simmons. She was derpin'! Twerkin' and derpin'! I have to wonder, though -- was the tongue-lolling choreographed? Were there exercises?

Also: Miley @ VMA's (learned of this after the fact) -- this is actually the cleaner of the two images I've seen: @_@ I kind of like the fact that she's willing to get freaky, but it just contrasts so much with her image that I'm familiar with...also, I feel old. Also: Um...

"As a Child, I would Make Noises..."

Oh, hey look, Simon Pegg does that thing, too (only he uses asterisks).

I didn't assume the cheetah was male. Maybe the controversy was bestiality this time.

Wait -- in what twisted world is "nipples" "bad-mouthing"? Everyone likes nipples.

A Swarm of the Sun, Zenith -- quite good, ackshully, considering I stumbled upon it by mistake (was looking for an act named Zenith) Genre: hard rock/metal

The 25 funniest autocorrects of DYAC's first year -- some of these are really good

Kaki King:

I think he's talking about the 007 mk2s. EDIT: Nope, says right there, "...same thing with the 009...". I'm glad you mentioned this -- I do remember liking the mk2 as a more "rock'n'roll" headphone, and the fart just kills the listening experience for me in the same way the honk kills it for Birgir. Just goes to show -- everyone has their priorities. I hardly noticed the honk at all, the one time I remember listening to it. (And it was when the mk2 had just been released, I think.) I do remember the mk1 as being a tad more refined, but that may have been because the bass wasn't overshadowing the treble (i.e., we're reaching the limitations of what my ears can tell the difference between...). I do also remember them being really close, but I was coming from a largely dynamic headphone background. So Todd's description of this is it pretty much applies to all electrostatic headphones to me, because once you get used to the electrostatic "house sound", they're all better than dynamics. (My oversimplified HO.)

And then the Franz Ferdinand first listen of Right Thoughts, Right Words, Right Action

This. Thanks for the link, Mikey.
