In this week’s magazine, we asked members of five New York bands (also including Free Kitten’s Kim Gordon, the Jealous Girlfriends’ Alex Lipsen, and Pistolera’s Sandra Lilia Velasquez) to make playlists for classic New York summer activities. “

Yeah, the “I might be a millionaire” thing was bad, but Lodwick’s constant references to Ayn Rand were my favorite. Gee, I’ll miss him.
Roasting Will Leitch
As punishment for his years of brutal service to the blog regime, Will Leitch is being honored today. “Honored.” Really, he’s had his site password locked, and he’s become the subject of a Thursday afternoon roast.
Incidentally, I was asked to contribute something, which was very nice of Drew and the other roast masterminds. My portion is lodged somewhere in here; the...
The question: How will I get home tomorrow night? The answer: possibly by hitchhiking.

I know you're out there
Somewhere in Princeton, Indiana, or the surrounding territories, there is someone just dying to talk to me about the Toyota Motor Manufacturing of Indiana plant, and how they hate it, and how every time they wake up in the morning they want to set the thing on fire, burn it to the ground, dance on the ashes and scream in delight at their final, well-earned victory.
