Uh, Pete Seeger?

Fun to see the NPR staff at the end, but it would have been cooler if they were all singing Chumbawamba.  Sing it out, Laskshmi Singh, Audie Cornish, Bob Boilen, Neda Ulaby, Sylvia Poggioli, and all you other interestingly-named folk!

Sorry, but 30 is not a mid-life crisis.  At best it's a "shit, I should probably start behaving like an adult" wake-up moment.

Christoper Lee is 91.  I don't see that happening.

Seriously.  A girl could get pregnant just commenting here.

Yep, this is instantly my favorite Newswire post ever.

I recently watched several episodes and was underwhelmed.  It seemed like every episode was basically "freak makes trouble for geek", i.e. get the "good" kids to throw a wild party, go vandalizing on Halloween, help them cheat on a test, etc.  I guess I expected more.

Just like Whedon to kill off his characters prematurely.

Besides taking down their ads, the Penny Arcade Kickstarter led to at least two other awesome things:

I didn't get a Community notification for this?

I bought a drum machine around the time of "Kiss Me Kiss Me Kiss Me" and spent many happy hours programming my versions of those songs.  It's still my favorite Cure record.

I definitely hear "Mexican" in that synth-voice section.

I saw them open for the Replacements at Memorial Hall in KCK back in the day.  I certainly knew of them from local press, but they weren't a band that I particularly followed.
