LOL Musics

Flavorwire has issued a list of stereotypes about who listens to which indie bands. It's cute, k?

Some fav lines:

Micachu and the Shapes
Chicks with bad teeth.

Joanna Newsom
People who have considered befriending a squirrel.

Vampire Weekend
Bros who try to make out with girls at concerts by relating to them via old Nickelodeon shows. “Remember Pete & Pete??”

She & Him
People who hate Ben Gibbard.
[Editor's note: Doesn't everyone hate Ben Gibbard?]


Read the full list here!

Via my ex's twitter account, not that I still read it or anything.

Typeface Ink Efficiency

"Matt Robinson in collaboration with Tom Wrigglesworth compared a selection of the most commonly used typefaces for how economical they are with the amount of ink which they use at the same point size. Large scale renditions of the typefaces were drawn out with ballpoint pens, allowing the remaining ink levels to display the ink efficiency of each typeface. Measuring Type."

The results?

Holiduped

I came across the following media tip a few days ago at work. Is it just me, or is there something a little wrong about this?

10:30 a.m.

Children at the Elizabeth L. Newman Preschool at The Jewish Guild for the Blind will be greeted by Santa Claus at their holiday party; The Jewish Guild for the Blind's Auditorium, 15 West 65th St.

Holiday Charity Guilt

Is the last-minute holiday guilt kicking in? Would you rather hang something on your wall than have a tax deduction? Trying to find the perfect holiday gift for your generous friend with blank walls? Boy, have I got a website for you!



Needs for Sale sells paintings that represent a charitable donation, the price of which is the price of the painting. 100% of the money goes directly to that charity. It's like a little "you did good!" trophy. For example, a $150 donation to Habitat for Humanity buys a front door:


This grew out of their Wants for Sale project, in which objects of the artists' desire are represented in the painting, and your purchase of the painting enables them to purchase said object. One half of this husband-and-wife team is responsible for Garbage of NYC, where you can buy collectible NYC trash for your homesick friends.

Hanukrazy!

If you've been reading my blog for awhile, you a) are probably related to me, and b) likely have picked up on the fact that I'm a latke-eating, bargain-hunting, Manischewitz-sipping fan of Woody Allen, if you catch my drift. That's right, I'm a true-blue life-long member of the Jew Crew. Represent. And if you've got a problem with that, you can suck my matzoh balls.

Anyway, I am seeeeeeeh excited for Hanukah, jew guys!

To celebrate, I bring you the first Israeli flash mob, courtesy of my friend Amanda:



My mom and I were in a flash mob once, back in 2003 when only one guy was organizing them. That was pre-Gmail! I know, right? Ancient history.
