Up until a few weeks ago, I had been selectively listening to Stevie Wonder’s Innervisions and Songs in the Key of Life.

You can buy them online if you’re lazy, but I found both records for around 5 bucks each at the Half Priced Books on the Miracle Mile in St. Louis Park and I’m sure they have em at Cheapo as well.

This is a perfect moment of Mutually Assured Dopestruction, does it make Sesame Street cooler? Or Stevie Wonder? Or Both? It’s yours to decide.

I’m not all into Indie Rock and whatever. Personally, it’s for losers. But since seeing their first show since the lead singer returned to Minnesota from studying abroad, I’m happy to know that the most attractive band in show business, Mouthful of Bees, has cut it out with the whole indie rock funny business and decided to take it to the next level.

Hailing from Malta, Sacco is a comics-journalist who goes to overseas countries and spends time living with, studying, and interviewing the people who live there. Unlike most journalists, Sacco has the opportunity to learn on his own time and spend a few months where he stays because Sacco don’t answer to no one.

I make a point of not leaving my house unless absolutely necessary (see: reasons).

Up until moments ago, I’d avoid going to places I thought where everyone stretched their ego to the limits like a spandex jumpsuit from American Apparel, but recently I’ve had those few helping hands pull me out from under the covers and remove the worn and overplayed discs of Roseanne from out of my dvd player to bring me out into the real world (see below)

Now I know I haven’t written any movie scripts myself… lately. But I fail to be impressed by Juno, sure I chuckled few times, maybe even slapped a knee or two, but I just don’t see what all the hype’s about.
