Brooke Waggoner- Hush If You Must

Brooke Waggoner →

My friend Brooke Waggoner is a Paste “up-and-coming artist.” She’s amazing, and you should give her a listen- you can download her EP for free at her site. (and she’s not really from Nashville… she grew up in Mandeville, La.)

Do I have to respond to a missed drunk text?

This is not a rhetorical question, seriously. Can someone explain text message ethics to me? My roommate says never respond to a drunk text when your sober.

I would say don’t respond (unless it’s one of those texts and you’re in the mood to respond). Your roommate is probably right. Though next time you see the person, bring it up as an aside (and quietly so not to be heard by everyone else because that shit is embarrassing).

Nonprofits and New Orleans

defendneworleans:

As we approach the third anniversary of Hurricane Katrina, requests for additional government involvement in the restoration operations of nonprofit groups run counter to the experience of the past three years.

It is undeniable that nonprofit organizations are playing a crucial role in rebuilding New Orleans and other areas — a role that would have been impossible for them to carry out if, instead of answering to donors, boards and the community, they had been answering to New Orleans Mayor C. Ray Nagin and Homeland Security Secretary Michael Chertoff.

It is the nonprofit groups’ independence from bureaucracy that makes them so capable — and so critical to the rebuilding work.

…because any blog rocking the tagline “What a fun sexy time for you” deserves special recognition — even more so for having courage enough to come to David Berman’s defense in a world full of Radiohead fans.

Thank you, Matt Langer! It still amazes me that anything I say interests anyone. Although, I had to defend Berman against biased Radiohead fans’ aggression.

Charlyne Yi SNL audition tape

Because she is Michael Cera’s girlfriend, I’ll give her the benefit of the doubt. But she did do Ralph the Dog, so points for that. Try to be less weird, Charlyne.

What I wouldn’t give to be hearing the name Kathleen Sebelius a little more than usual today.

Seriously.
