Fresh Episodes
So, Gilmore Girls is back — and after watching the season opener, I’ve gotta say that I’m mildly pleased with the show under its new management. The Rory/Lorelai interplay is still mostly there, and that’s one of the things that keeps me coming back. Some of their conversations missed a little of that Amy-Sherman Palladino…

Ben Folds Covers Such Great Heights
This isn’t the best cover of my second favorite Postal Service track, but Ben gets lots of points for inventiveness. Dropping an s-bomb where there wasn’t one before sort of amuses me too…

The Upcoming A.V. Club
Leonard just tipped me off to a couple of really awesome new features on Upcoming: Any link to an mp3 now embeds an audio player — the nifty, lightweight 1 Pixel Out Flash player — into the page. [example] Links to YouTube videos embed the video into the page. The site does all the heavy…

No Sympathy For The Record Industry
Brendon Lloyd has done a scathingly funny letter from the RIAA to an alleged illegal downloader for McSweeney’s that’s really worth reading. Check it out: This is your notice that you will be sued for one of the following: Downloading a song from the Internet. Singing the “Happy Birthday” song. Other. None of the above.…

Scheduling Conflicts
It’s no secret that I loves me some “Gilmore Girls“. So while I’m excited to see the show come back, I’m also sad that I have to make a choice between it and “House” as of next week. I guess BitTorrent and my brother’s roommate’s TiVo will have to fill in the blanks for me…

The White Stripes Vs Bart Simpson
As always, YouTube picks up the slack to show me the bits of TV I wish I hadn’t missed. While it’s nice to see Meg and Jack doing a clever little cameo, I can’t help but think this feels a little too much like a Family Guy style tangent for me to call it genius.…

Banksy’s Elephant
Here’s a quick little video of the much buzzed painted elephant from Banksy’s “Barely Legal” exhibit. I’ll have my photos and other reflections posted a bit later tonight. P.S. From what I understand, the elephant was covered in breathable paint and seemed rather chill in its behavior while I was there. It was also constantly…

Jesus The Mexican Boy
*swoon* “Jesus The Mexican Boy” is one of my all time favorite Iron & Wine songs — right behind “Naked As We Came” and “The Trapeze Swinger”. And while you can’t download legal, free versions of the other two tracks Sub Pop was nice enough to offer up “Jesus…” for free. If you’ve never heard…

Re-Invasion
Don’t think that this is an art blog now — although I don’t think that would necessarily be a bad thing — but after hearing that new Invaders are popping up around town I’m a bit excited to go out and try to find some of them.

Feed Swapping
Realizing that I really don’t give that much of a shit about what Lindsay Lohan/Jeremy Piven/Paris Hilton/Andy Dick is up to now, I’ve dropped my old guilty pleasure Defamer from my feed reader and replaced it with Gawker’s new music blog Idolator. After reading their manifesto it seems like a pretty fair trade to me.
