Can someone explain this to me? This was WEIRD, people. With bunny heads, among other things.

not-a muxtape update! I'm trying something new... the MeCha-Tape, created by making a folder on Divshare, and sending MP3s to it. It doesn't look as pretty, but you should be able to listen by clicking here, and it should play right through the playlist. The songs this week don't have a theme, I just thought they sounded good together.

"Psycho Killer" - the backstory. David Byrne had never heard the Who's "I Can See For Miles"? Also, other classics. If you dig this kind of detail, expect to spend an evening or two.

Do you miss Muxtape? The RIAA killed it before I had a chance to try it out, but if you have your own webspace you might consider giving Opentape a try.

Does anyone here read Miss Manners? Why do people write in so frequently asking how to troll for gifts? Don't they know that she frowns on that sort of thing? Have they ever read the column before?

I guess it is just like people who post on Ask MetaFilter asking what to do about their poorly matched significant other.

The American Wanderer, in All His Stripes I absolutely loved this piece in last Sunday's times by Michael Powell. I would quote the entire piece, but here's a taste:

“Unrootedness is, and always has been, part and parcel of being American,” Arnold Rampersad, a professor at Stanford University and biographer of Ralph Ellison and Hughes, said in an e-mail message. “It is the flip side of perhaps the defining aspect of Americanness, the capacity of its citizens to reinvent themselves.”

I'm going to Ikea for the first time ever tomorrow. It's a bit scary. I need to buy all the furniture for my new apartment. I have nothing. I've downloaded their bedroom planning software, which is also scary to me. This is the thread for Ikea-related words of wisdom.
