The Killers are always worth a good listen. They bring back so many memories. Love these guys forever.
Kinda reminiscent of Springsteen in the chorus, no?!
Listen: Passion Pit: “Constant Conversations”
This is the best the Passion Pit singer, Michael Angelakos, has ever been. It actually sounds like singing as opposed to the sort of pop yell over electro tracks. This is a light, airy track that is perfect for strolling on a sunny day in the best way ever. I can’t wait to hear the rest of the album. Gossamer is out July 24.
Catch them on tour this summer!!

DIY: Beat the heat with frozen towel wraps!
If you live in America, or anywhere that is hot as FUCK right now, you are going to love my friend Sarah.
I was introduced to the most fascinating cooling method since wetting the back of my neck and sitting very still (I learned this in Chile). This new method takes that idea even further, delving into areas once unimaginable to the common man: a wet, frozen towel neck wrap.
Normally reserved for freezing the least popular kid’s underwear at sleepovers, this method has been resurrected in parts of Minneapolis as the new technique to beat the sweltering, hundred degree heat.
Frozen Towel Wrap
Supplies
- Small hand towel, bandana or any fabric you can get wet and freeze without ruining
- Water
- Freezer
First get a small towel. Bandanas work too, but they don’t hold the cold as long as a small towel does. Get it wet, and then fold it into a U shape. Put it into the freezer and wait until it freezes. When it’s frozen, take it out and wrap it around your neck. I swear to God, you’re going to die from pleasure. It was absolutely the most comfortable, cheap and soothing ways to beat the heat, ever.
Happy Independence Day, America!
We should use the 4th of July as a time to be thankful and reflect on how great we have it in America, despite the economic situation.
Or we could just get drunk and light shit on fire with family and friends.
You decide.
‘MERICA!
Rumour has it: Tom Cruise is a fucking nut
The more details that come out about the Katie Holmes and Tom Cruise marriage contract and divorce bomb are really, really creepy. Here are some confusing and eery rumors that have come out surrounding the TomKat divorce:
- Tom has divorced all 3 of his wives when they turned 33. 33 is connected to Scientology because the religion was founded by science fiction writer L. Ron Hubbard in Phoenix, Arizona, which happens to lie on the 33rd parallel.
- Katie Holmes reportedly got 3 million dollars for each year she was married to Tom.
- She had to sign a 5 year marriage contract that not surprisingly ended when she was 33.
- She’s being followed in NYC by men with guns who are suspected to be hired by Scientologists.
- The straw that broke the camel’s marriage back is the fact that Tom Cruise wanted Suri to be a part of the Sea Org where there are reports of manual hard labor, a billion year loyalty contract and suspected forced abortion because family is discouraged as a distraction.
- Scientologists held “auditions” for Tom Cruise wives that included Jessica Alba, Scarlett Johansson, Sofia Vergara, Penelope Cruz and Jennifer Garner.
- He sent all his dates buttloads of chocolate and roses in cars. (Puke, I am forever aversion-ed to those things. TC must be an alien because that is some vanilla 1950s flirting right there. Regular modern folk settle for a sweet internet post)
- A huge rumor now is that Katie Holmes and Suri walked in on David Beckham and Tom Cruise in bed together. It seems like a stretch, but HOLYFUCKINGSHIT if it’s true.
This is probably only the tip of the iceberg, which is awesome for the blogosphere.

Check out Tom Cruise’s explanation of being a Scientologist below. It doesn’t really make much sense. He kind of sounds like he was a confused teen/young adult who got famous, rich and needed a big crutch to help him understand his life. Evangelicals look SO fucking regular compared to this shit. Looks like TC needs to smoke some weed, join a bongo circle on a dirty beach somewhere and chill the FUCK out.
Forever Young: Andy Griffith
The only memory I have of Andy Griffith as a child was Nick at Nite, and being kind of disappointed that cartoons weren’t on. But kids are idiots, and this show was awesome.
Rest in Peace Andy!
