Business Insider’s Chart of the Day: The Death of the Music Industry
I wish there was more information here. Is this inflation-adjusted? How are sales distributed across singles, albums, etc?
Why must everything be ten times more difficult when the tape is rolling? And why can’t the capo and B7 be friends?
A Case Against Helmets in Lacrosse
You want someone to beat you because they’re more skilled than you, not because they’re more brutal than you.
On a similar note, I would really like to see a scientific study done that determines the likelihood of a cyclist being hit by a car while wearing a helmet versus not wearing a helmet.
Got my tickets for TV on the Radio City Music Hall. Now to devise some sort of Japanese game show to determine who gets my extra ticket.

Hey Alanis, THIS is ironic:
Naturally, this book was considered extremely dangerous by the victorious Allies when they occupied Germany at the end of World War II. Copies of this book were confiscated and destroyed by the tens of thousands with the result that few originals survived the war and fewer yet survived complete and in good condition.
Sending all my good vibes to my @HarmonixMusic friends on this sad day.

First SNL episode I’ve seen in ages. Surprising number of laughs, and not just the Dana Carvey throwback stuff. Funniest part? Linkin Park.
