I heard a rumor that AT&T had launched a $36 “discount activation fee.” In my exploration, here’s what I found on AT&T’s website: To take advantage of corporate discounts and other benefits available to qualified Individual Responsibility Users, you may be charged a $36 Sponsorship Fee for each line of service under your account. That’s low. I hope the day...

So I’m as sick of caring about cable news as the next guy, but this is a pretty great Daily Show clip of Jon Stewart taking on those - primarily CNN - who still call Obama’s place of birth into question. (via thedailywhat)

DRM is Dead, RIAA Says →

amandalynferri: pavblog: This is one of those embarassing “no duh” moments for the music industry. artistspaid: Ernesto / TorrentFreak: For years the RIAA has defended the use of DRM, much to the dislike of millions of honest customers who actually paid for their music. Now, in a shocking turnaround, the outfit seems to have come to the realization that DRM does more harm than good and...

Oh Sufjan… It was sad reading Dave Eggers’ forward to Infiite Jest, where he compares the ambitiousness of the book to other projects, such as Sufjan Stevens’ 50 states project. If your keeping track, it’s apparently been four years since Illinois. Well, I hope you like goofy Sufjan side projects (And I do - the Christmas set and The Welcome Wagon are great), because here...

The Pains of Being Pure at Heart, tonight at the Echoplex. Theirs is a great album, reminiscent of My Bloody Valentine and other early ’90s acts, including R.E.M. and the recently mentioned Mark Mulcahy. Should be a fun show.

Will have to look at these more carefully later, but glad to see Flight of the Conchords and Jack McBrayer on there, and how the hell did Hannah Montana get nominated? That’s a terrible show. Update: The writing noms. WTF. 4/5 for comedy go to 30 Rock, 4/5 for drama go to Mad Men? I officially declare those two shows the most overrated on TV. Most underrated: It’s Always Sunny in...

Tim Hortons invades New York →

realrealsoft: caro: 12 new locations of the utterly awesome Canadian coffee and pastry chain opened Monday in Manhattan and Brooklyn: several in midtown, one on the upper West Side, and one on Lexington Avenue in the 80s, as well as two in the BK. I support Tim Hortons infiltration.

The importance of Polaris’s music in The Adventures of Pete and Pete cannot be understated. Its sort of haunting nostalgia so perfectly complimented the tone of the show. The man behind the music, Mark Mulcahy, has fallen upon some hard times, so some indie artists are making a tribute album and giving him the profits. Unfortunately, only one band is covering his Polaris tunes, and...
