MUXTAPE

I love this muxtape thingymabobber. I love it so much that I decided to accompany my routine whiskey drinking with an upload-binge of remixes, edits, and tracks by Todd Terje, a Scandinavian early 20-something who re-works otherwise perfect disco and pop songs into 6 to 8 minutes of whoah-holy-christ-fuck-wow-how'd-he-make-it-better. To anyone who has not heard his Chic and Michael Jackson edits: get ye to this other side of this link.

And please share yr muxtapes in the comments section! (PS, it's free to register.)

Steampunk

I didn't really know that "steampunk" was also kind of a style. It's like if you woke up one day and had gone totally bonkers and were convinced you were living inside of that computer game MYST or something. Which is amazing and totally repellent. And you could wonder things like "Where did I put my BRASS GOGGLES?"

Anyway, more pictures here.

You Guys!

Partly because I am pretty hung over, this made me weep a little bit at work today: http://www.georgetakei.com/

Also because I love George Takei like I love Alien vs. Predator.

Congratulations, George Takei!!!!!!

BTW

This website is really good.

Open Thread re: MTV's The Real World in Brooklyn

OK, the Gothamist just reported that MTV's The Real World will commence filming the 21st season/level of Hell in Brooklyn this summer. The location is yet to be determined, although my logical side says that their loft of douchebaggery will be located somewhere in Williamsburg (maybe in that ugly building on the northeast side of McCarren Park, the one that looks like it was phoned in from Miami) and my sadistic side hopes (but doubts) they will just purchase a floor in the McKibbin Lofts because let's face it, that place is already a joke.

Let's brainstorm some terrible yet not illegal things we can do to them. Option one: the Turkeys Nest has large cheap take-out cups of beer that can easily be spilled during a stroll through McCarren Park!

Spotted: JULIA ROBERTS

Today I shopped for produce right next to Julia Roberts (who has twins by the names of Hazel and Phinnaeus, btw) in the Chelsea Whole Foods. I just thought you should know. (Also, she blew my mind slightly by being shorter than me. I always imagined she would be like 6'2" for some reason. Nigel Barker blew my mind in exactly the same way, except he's extremely handsome in person.)

Gothic Singles

We pride ourselves in having real gothic personals where real gothic members are looking to meet other like minded goth friends. Online dating for people into the goth scene has never been easier.

You Guys

Submitted for the approval of the Midnight Society:

Bai Ling's blog.

It sort of fills the void left by the not-updated-in-over-a-year twee fashion blog.

I declare this meeting of the Midnight Society closed.

sleep strike

I can't even sleep until some website confirms or denies the Beyonce/Jay-Z marriage thingy. How can I even be expected to sleep? That is crazy.

Yes, and sadly...NO

1) Yes! Finally. Many of my childhood dreams will have come true, if you just let me be in this musical, perhaps choreograph it. (I already gave on the one about learning to talk to dolphins by giving a baby headphones and making said baby grow up listening to dolphins so as to be bi-lingual.)(But not the one where I have a shirt that looks like the outfit/dress thing that Kristi Yamaguchi wore in the Olympics. Never that one.)
2) NO! Reading through the plot synopsis is vaguely horrifying.
Why must everything good turn out bad? Electric Youth... the musical is obviously not about mid-level bankers from New York City who go to Minnesota for a visit. Am I totally wrong about that? Why doesn't anybody ever ask me these things. Sigh.

So check this. Go to ye olde npr.com and search "Madeline Albright: In your ear"

The world is making more or less sense now, depending.

Nice April Fools Day Joke, Citibank

Who decides to re-design my personal accounting web-page, which requires shutting it down for hours on end, in the middle of tax time? Citibank, you fools, you've ruined my day.
