from annie

don't forget about those apps


but take a minute to enjoy macalester's own bobby mould on the joan rivers show. stay tuned for the flaming trainwreck of an interview that follows...



also, while this blog serving as a public conversation between myself, steph, caitlin and annie is all fine and good, it's not what we started it for. i know you're reading this, so why not comment or post? we are not cool.

Again, Nick Emily and I have a penchant for first years.

Congrats Nick, Emily and Annie, our new GM, PM and OM. You guys are going to do an awesome job! I'll try to listen to the webcast online and try not to cry.

i promise, those last two posts were not me. and i don't have much to say other than that.

oh how about this. sometimes i hate bands just because they have really dumb names, like editors and le tigre. another such 'band' is final fantasy. but instead of aptly judging the band by its name, as in the former case, i was very wrong on this one. listen:
This is the Dream of Win & Regine (yousendit)
good thing i learned my lesson!

dear team again,
chasing windmills is the best show not on tv. if you haven't seen this "vlog" (a fairy loses her wings everytime i use that word), you've got until september to catch up on the HUGE archive of entries. i started watching last september and couldn't keep up by february, but oh em gee, this is good shit. the first episodes are here.
annie b.

dear team,
i just got an email from "art rock" duo eagle & talon saying they'll be in town tomorrow to play a show at the varsity with sia. they might come do an in-studio, should a tuesday dj be interested, and have spots on their guestlist if anyone is interested in going to the show. if you are, send me an email at aberge@macalester.edu and i will let them know.
their music is aight, and they are pretty cute.

mark your calandars!

sometimes i still feel the bruise

caitlin and nick, i'm ready to be heartbroken

Shoe Shiners are doing a live, in-studio performance, right now! Listen!

no one has any news?

well,
this is the article i was going to write after sxsw (i would have named it down with grups), but new york magazine beat me to it.

if you get to the fifth page, you get this golden nugget:
"You have to have a little bit of Dora the Explorer in your life," he says. "But you can do what you can to mute its influence. And there's no shame, when your kid's watching a show, and you don't like it, in telling him it sucks. If you start telling him it sucks, maybe he might develop an aesthetic."

but there is a voice of reason:
"And you know what? Giving your kid a mohawk is fucked up, too."

(this is annie)

remember to set those clocks ahead an hour
