Newadoozies: A New-Fucked Up Musical →
Premiering in March at the UCB Theatre!
We can't just let it go that Common tried to start...
Because it is too funny to just let go. Common, whose big catchphrase is “Girl, I want to treat you with respect because I could totally see you running for office some day. Hey do you have any more marzipan fruits?” called out Drake on a rap song for being “soft.” I do not deny Drake is soft. “Cast member for Degrassi” is probably one of the dictionary...

What to do if you fall on the subway tracks
After four deaths on the tracks the other day, I figured y’all should know what to do if you fall on the subway tracks.
If the train isn’t very close, run beyond the far end of the station (beyond where the train would stop) and wave your arms so the conductor sees you. It’s a better idea than just trying to pull yourself back on the platform. Attempts of that sort frequently...
“Then I was like, ‘Oh, but none of these people understand what’s cool about me....”

Here's a guy ...
Everyone listen to it. Especially straight people. Touches on so many things gay kids/adults go through. Congrats Todd, you’re an inspiration.

When I started standup in Philadelphia, Todd Glass was a hero to me. Now he’s a hero to me all over again, in a different way. I am proud of him and happy for him!

Robert Reich: The Decline of the Public Good →
robertreich:
Meryl Streep’s eery reincarnation of Margaret Thatcher in “The Iron Lady” brings to mind Thatcher’s most famous quip, “there is no such thing as ‘society.’” None of the dwindling herd of Republican candidates has quoted her yet but they might as well considering their unremitting bashing of…
Excellent editorial by Robert Reich. A must-read.

“Why I Voted the Socialist Ticket” by Vachel Lindsay
I am unjust, but I can strive for justice. My life’s unkind, but I can vote for kindness. I, the unloving, say life should be lovely. I, that am blind, cry out against my blindness. Man is a curious brute—he pets his fancies— Fighting mankind, to win sweet luxury. So he will be, though law be clear as crystal, Tho’ all...

My Top 50 Singles of 2011: Spotify Playlist →
This year was definitely not the best year for albums. Absolutely nothing was mind-blowing. And Top 40? One of the worst Top 40 years since the pre-“Toxic” era (I still hold that it changed the game). But there were tons of excellent indie pop and below-the-radar mainstream pop songs this year. And yeah, I only did a top 50 this year, but to be fair, last year everything below 50 was a...
