Oh, the days when I thought hot pink and neon green was the best ever fashion choice. This blog rocks!

More excuses to read about Supernatural and be kinda scholarly? Awesome! Thanks for the post!

Having just been introduced to the wonders of the Berger Cookie last week, I have to agree with FoB. Those are some tasty cookies. And no amount of googling can produce a copycat recipe for me. sigh.

This is an awesome post, it scared the ever-living crap out of me. Here I thought driving on the coast of Ireland's Dingle pininsula was bad, that had nothing on these terror roads!

Aw, SK is/was one of my all-time favorite bands, I'm sad to see them go. Those ladies put on some rockin' shows.

darsh- Spot on about the TJ frozen naan. We got some at the Brookline store and just had it last night for the first time. Super tasty!

I guess I'm the only one who likes Two Buck Chuck, but then again, my favorite beer is PBR, so I just have crummy taste in booze....

rxfrx- Totally didn't know that, thanks! We rarely do much in Brookline, but I'm willing to cross town to get delicious Indian breads.

darsh- Sweet, thanks! It looks like there are a bunch in Somerville, which is super convenient.

This is fun!

1- Tiny Vessels: Death Cab for Cutie- I love jangly indie pop. Really. Quite a lot. It looks like the rest of my list is bearing that out.

2- Back to the Life: Spoon- I remember getting the promo for A Series of Sneaks at my college radio station. I was hooked forever from the first song. They are just a rock-solid band.

3- You Will Miss Me When I Burn: Palace Brothers- Such a beautifully... [more]

This makes me so happy. On Avery Island is just one of the best albums ever (Aeroplane is, too, it's just "Naomi" that puts OAI over the edge of awesomeness for me). I'll be checking these mp3 out tonight!

Nice post! I am, however, too busy librarian-ing at the moment to write anything more coherent than that.

Very cool, thanks.

Uncanny hengeman, I hang my head in shame and admit that I thought the same thing.

That made me giggle so much that Robocop_is_bleeding thought I was a little crazy this morning. I'm going to bookmark that cookbook for when I'm having a bad day and need some cheap laughs.

Drool. Cupcakes are the best.

Ooh, I love it! The pictures are great, and I really like being able to see menus for fancy-pants places before I commit to going, as I'm a rather picky eater.

My story isn't spectacular, but at the time I thought it was pretty neat.

My freshman year of college roommate and I got along really well and were very good friends. She went abroad for the first semester of sophmore year, and I ended up with a very weird roommate. My weird roommate decided to request a room switch for the second semester, but didn't tell me anything about it. My freshman year roommate had decided to just accept wherever the housing department placed... [more]

I saw their reunion show at ATP and then in Boston, they were amazing both times. I couldn't believe how many people were talking through their entire set in England, though, it seemed like almost everyone there was having some sort of drunken conversation. The Boston crowd seemed so grateful to just be seeing Slint; the one heckler got called out for heckling and promptly shut up.

Very sad. He was fantastic.

This is a great post! The site about abandoned stations will keep me busy for hours.

Mach3avelli- I saw Jackie O-Motherfucker open for GYBE a couple of years ago. I absolutely hated them (and I love many of the bands mentioned in this thread). Have they recently become better? Maybe I'm just getting old...

Anyway, this has been a fun FPP to read, and makes me feel all warm & squishy remembering the amazing Slint show at ATP last week.

I've got the book, and sat my bunny down next to me while I looked through it. She tried to eat it.

There's also LexisOne. Not as cool as Lexis, but they have some free legal material available.

I am genuinely creeped out by some of the "hot" votes. Unless things have significantly changed since I last visited good old Bates.

.kobayashi.: They are pretty accurate, though I found some to be a bit harsh. It made me giggle to see a post about Sanford Freedman's King Lear obsession.
