As someone that never really got on the Passion Pit wagon a couple of years ago, my favorite songs on this album are definitely the ones that sound the least like Manners. On My Way and Where We Belong are current favorites for me. And if you haven't checked out the Pitchfork profile on Angelakos, I highly recommend…

To this day, I'm suspicious of individuals in the possession of too much fresh fruit.

My first exposure to Monty Python was watching the Holy Grail around the age of 11. The ending of that movie confused my poor 11 year old brain so much. Then I realized that my dad had the box set of every episode of the show in our basement, so I started methodically watching two episodes a day. And once I got to the…

I really like Muse's first three albums. This is not a good song. I suppose I'd get it more if it was a one-off for the Olympics (being about winning races, heart, determination, the Olympics, and whatnot), but it's not something I'd want to hear on an album.

The "man with no feet" line is one that still throws me into such a fit of laughter I have to pause the episode in order to not miss anything else. Sedaris just KILLS that line. Along with all her other ones of course…..line.

Today, getting off the train on my way to work, I was mobbed by what could only be USA interns  in actual suits (poor guys, it was warm today) telling me that I should watch Suits. So the suits told the guys in suits to tell me to watch Suits. I wasn't inclined, but the presence of Gina Torres and this review make me…

I got to see the Guarneri String Quartet on their final tour before retirement, and they played Beethoven Op 132, which is one of the last pieces Beethoven wrote. The third movement of that piece is about 15 minutes long, and is basically a long series of slow chords and suspensions. The comfort and sensitivity of…

I know this is Glee, but as someone who found the process of college admissions in the performing arts to be pretty emotionally difficult, my brain wouldn't allow me to accept the small fact that Kurt, Rachel, and Finn's envelopes all looked the same. Acceptance letters generally don't look like rejection letters, and…
