Here’s the new single in case you haven’t heard it!! This is really exciting. It still has a No Doubt flavor and a sweet sweet melody. The new video drops tonight on E! I will definitely be listening to this song on repeat. I can’t wait for their album Push and Shove to come out in September!! I will bleed myself dry for tickets to this show. A MUST.
“I don’t think the common person is getting it. Nobody understands why Obama is hurting them. My college kid, the baby sitters, the nails ladies — everybody who’s got the right to vote — they don’t understand what’s going on. I just think if you’re lower income — one, you’re not as educated; two, they don’t understand how it works, they don’t understand how the systems work, they don’t understand the impact.”
I would be too, girl. Drummers have a special aura, especially curly-haired cute ones from the Strokes. Our girl KW just opened up to Marie Claire about her amazing life right now, thanks to a happy career and a happy relationship. I’m so happy for her. It’s nice to see a talented gal being happy and successful.
I’m still in my post-SNL-leaving haze of Kristen Wiig. Every time someone brings up KW, I wanna watch her last scene on SNL and cry like a baby because it was awesomely sweet and touching. But it makes me happy to know that she’s off drinking wine and doing whatever famous people do in Fab’s hip apartment in whatever neighborhood is cool in NYC right now. Hearts!
DAYUM Kris!! Your tits are THAT on display for a family pic? On one hand, if ya got it, flaunt it. On the other, it’s a family photo, and those usually aren’t sexy. They are usually embarrassing in a totally different way than this exercise themed pic.
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!!

Here’s DM using the Minneapolis towel method, or MTM.
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
Genius. Pure genius.
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.
