word of the day: claw foot bass tub

While trying to remember the word "wash tub bass" I came across this lil' home-made gem.

& apparently it works!

WHO KNOWS THESE THINGS!?: children

I just learned how to delete the podcasts that have been clogging mIphone for months by watching this youtube video made by a 7 year old:

what the fack/ yes please

un-pc thoughts while riding the MBTA:

Why does Tom Brady like retards so much?

(my hunch is a slight 'handicap' no one notices in the outfield   "football term")

Sidenote: Why is Gisele always drunk and walking down the fancy part of Comm Ave at like 3 in the morning?*

*If you lived in Boston you'd know about all this.

I was taking the T after work today and one of those guys with only one leg was sitting in a wheelchair with a guitar and a microphone singing 'Daniel My Brother' which he followed with this song:





And the second he started singing it some other guy came up and started singing with him really excited and he looked a little homeless but I'm not sure if he was really homeless or not but the other one-legged guy was looking at him like he was so into it and the two legged guy just kind of started jigging around the guy in the wheelchair singing and they sounded really great in that way you can only sound like when you're really genuinely excited about what you're doing.


Hopefully this enthusiasm is not exclusive to the homeless or semi-homeless disposition or condition, but sometimes I have the sneaking feeling that it is.

should we all move to Korea?

The other night  Last month I went to see Craig Finn with Rachael Hayyyes and she was all like "Let's move to Korea!!" and I was like what!? Is this a thing?? And now I'm starting to believe it's a thing...

So you know when you make a new friend at work in the morning and they hang out at the counter for a while and you're like yeah, this is my good new friend, he's awesome and then like a week later they take you to an experimental music thing in a loft that's going to be torn down and its awesome too and everyone's awesome three and they're all doing wonderful/crazy 2 minute performances and your new friend is like "Hey, so you wanna do something? You wanna do something for the show?" And you're like uhhh uhhhh  uhhhh uhhh I'm not...uhhh and in your head you're like (NO NO WHAT NO) but then in another little corner of your head somewhere else you're like (don't say no don't say no don't say no-- THE SECRET-- what's the secret? Don't say no think of something-- funny girl-- no no funny girl no stop thinking of funny girl you cannot sing a fanny bryce monologue no what can you do? nothing stop it) and then they're like, "Ok, so you wanna do the National Anthem?" and you're like YES OK FINE YES (?)

(And for some reason you decide what would make you seem more professional in this moment is to take off your sweater and clip on your fanny pack for the duration of the anthem, only to put your sweater back on and unclip your fanny pack immediately after(? ))
