My New Hero is a Toddler in a Tiara

Guys, get a load of this little lady. Girl's got POISE and CHARISMA. If I ever get on TV, this is what I'm going to do.

Clam Jam #holyshititshot.

And for those of you who read the headline, I'm upset about not putting an apostrophe in that.

But all my concerns and heat sicknesses are blown away by this ..... smokin' summer jam

addendum 7:00 roch: and oh by the way, this too....

Clam Jam #26: Pea Green Bote

Holy shit we're walking around Six Flags AS WE SPEAK (thank you, timed posts) listening to this through shared iPod headphones and frilly-folly-frollicking through the roller coaster lines without a care in the world, except let's not let the Diet Coke get too warm, or the cigarettes too unavailable.

Summer time fun time! Hooray!

Clam Jam #25: Tell me how many years the classical era lasted, and you get 1600 points.

Just remembered that time I saw the NYC Ballet perform to Debussy and wept my eyes out more than I ever having after watching a chick flick, after watching a kitten get saved from a river, after watching a homeless cripple walk again.

This is the first symphony playing it on video that popped up after the old google mcsearchinstein. Are they the best? No. Is this song one of the best? Yes. Ever.

WARNING: Making Videos This Cute Is Prohibited By Law

Omigodz, it's red pandas snuggling through the snow.






If you do not watch this video until the very end you are a) soulless b) going partially blind, or c) destined to have extremely unattractive children. Godspeed. And Godredpandas.

Clam Jam #24: Best One Yet?

Galt Macdermot, oh me oh my how I love this song.

Click on Shapes of Rhythm. It's totes the best. Literally, I went and priced out a record player for this album. Just sayin'.

Flagrant Click-Mongering Headline of the Day: Social Apps Lead to RAPE

No seriously, this article from Gigaom is claiming that those little apps on your little internet phone are going to lead someone to forcibly insert their genitals into your genitals, or at the very least stalk your genitals. Maybe rub up on them a little.  So WATCH OUT.

But the real kicker here is what comes next in the story. Basically a "calm down, calm down guys" reassurance that while, yes, location-based apps can lead to very creepy, rapey things, it's nowhere near as bad as the Catholic church!

"Banjo CEO Damien Patton responded that 'more people have been harmed by the Catholic Church' than the popular social networks."

So we should all take a chill pill (preferably a rufie). Letting people know what bar you're at: ok. Meeting with a pastor behind closed doors: doomsday, for your genitals.

Apparently Patton and Newspepper.com founder Hermione Way "clashed Monday on a panel discussing privacy at Monday’s Social Loco conference." I hope this spawns more debate--maybe a "Which is rapier?" tumblr,  with two photos side by side. First up: 

YOU BE THE JUDGE.
