allthewhiskeyinheaven replied to your post: this is your daily reminder that Jason Derulo’s real name is Jason Desrouleaux Also he spells his pseudonym with an umlaut…? I think he might have dropped the umlaut? There’s one on his first album cover, but not on his second.

just did the math and if I do the after-school tutoring three days a week, each week as planned then i’m gonna be cruising through with a cool 105 hours of community service at the end of this semester (my scholarship requires 100 by July) and of course I’m not gonna be able to make every single day most likely but that doesn’t matter because I’ll be doing one-time events...

“Because Born To Die is bad. It’s really bad. It’s bad in ways that “Video Games”...”
– Oh screw you, Stereogum. Not because the album’s great — it isn’t, it’s too long and same-y; ‘passable’ at best with a few singles and a lot of filler — but because Stereogum comes across as deeply, worryingly calculating and cynical here. If you follow the site you might have noticed they were...

– Obama, SOTU (via dansunreve) I mean, I can get behind the most of this, but higher education should not be “an economic imperative”. An option for everyone, definitely, but people should not need to go to college, and those people who are working jobs that don’t require a college...

heronqueenblues: Casting Tom Hanks as the father, thereby forcing him more screen time than he should reasonably have as that character casting Sandra Bullock as the mother, thereby not allowing the audience to fully accept her role as if it were played by a relatively unknown character actor focusing on sentimentality and joy instead of loss and fear making the kid the lead character instead...

likeapairofbottlerockets: hardcorefornerds: marathonpacks: About one of the most resolutely sexual albums of the last few years. A shame that Grantland’s huge audience is exposed to this level of crude misrepresentation masquerading as coy/self-effacing insight. I dunno, it might help to include the surrounding paragraph: “tUnE-yArDs is essentially one person, a somewhat androgynous...

That Awkward Moment When
backleftlitz: That awkward moment when you have to explain to your sister that her suspiciously-accented husband (“In Texas, born and breeded, as if in a barn of footballs!” he always said, defensively) only married her to steal your famous rhubarb pie recipe for the Russians. That awkward moment when two people are having sex in their bedroom and you’re just waiting there in the closet,...

Klosterman on Tune-Yards →
likeapairofbottlerockets: rawkblog: She could end up like James Murphy or Cat Power. But it’s just as possible — in fact, more possible — that this will not happen. She will probably just make a bunch more albums of varying quality, none of which will get the collective adoration of w h o k i l l. And then Garbus will end up with this bizarre 40-year-old life, where her singular claim to fame...

My Way killings - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia →
futuresushi: The “My Way” killings are a social phenomenon in the Philippines, where the killing of karaoke singers who get into disputes about their renditions of Frank Sinatra’s signature tune, “My Way”, has led some bars to ban the song and other singers to abstain from singing it. Opinions differ over whether the deadly pattern is due more to the coincidence that the song was frequently...
