Broken Social Scene — anthems for a seventeen year-old girl

Broken Social Scene - “Anthems for a seventeen year-old girl” (4:36)

This, to the best of my knowledge, is the only Broken Social Scene song I have ever heard. It was enough to bowl me over six years ago, and still lives on thanks to its simple theme and solid emotion.

It made a (very) brief appearance in Scott Pilgrim vs. the World, just enough to make me nearly gasp at yet another Canadian reference in the movie and that as soon as I heard a couple notes, the scene was made so much more sad.

Used to be the one of the rotten ones
And I liked you for that

I am now on iTunes “Ping!” I am under “Dave Holmes!” You can follow me and then I don’t know what happens!

My experience of Ping for iTunes, the first ten minutes:

  • Dave Holmes is on it!
  • Followed U2
  • Un-followed U2
  • The Music I Like section is pre-populated entirely with items you’ve purchased in iTunes and not derived from actual play counts or star ratings (disappointing)
  • Ping times out on non-jpg Profile icons of any size
  • You can find me as Douglas Dollars
  • The Facebook friend-finding integration is nice and sort of an easy standard these days*

* As much as we like to pretend that Twitter is so popular remember the factoid that there are more people inside Facebook playing Farmville than the total population of Twitter users.

Presenting: Folk & Roll. John Denver. Bob Dylan. James Taylor. Jim Croce. KISS makeup. What could be better? Buy one already.

Folks, now is your chance to help Max Fun pal Jason Baldwin, even if you didn’t know that he’s one of us. I know that you have the good sense and good taste to recognize that $21 for an awesome shirt so well made is a steal.

Buy one before I do something you’ll regret! This shirt will literally cover your torso with art.

The Glitch Mob – Bad Wings vs. La Roux – “In For The Kill”

Been really enjoying La Roux lately. It took me a while because for so long I just had no idea what it was for. The Glitch Mob while feeling a little gimmicky has never been better. Do not hesitate to download their free new mixtape Drink the Sea Part 2.

Interpol’s new video for “Barricade”

The new Interpol album (Interpol) is closest one I connect to since their debut Turn On The Bright Lights, which more or less dominated two of my winters and one of my summers.

Three great keyword searches that brought people to this Tumblr in the last week. The second of the two I thought was someone trying to send me a message until I remembered it was an Underworld lyric.

Handjobs. Douglas, handjobs.

The Ryan Heise Collection: The boilerplate of these stupid Adobe emails I get because I actually...

Reblogged from rheise|3 notes

The boilerplate of these stupid Adobe emails I get because I actually have a legitimate copy of their godforsaken Creative Suite is huge. (533 words!) Anyways, I finally got sick of them and took a minute to find the unsubscribe information in this 6-point-font level of hell.

Alternatively, you…

I live in this world. It’s a legal requirement, and a fairly recent one at that (it falls under CAN-SPAM). Even electronic newsletters must contain a physical-world contact method. No trouble comes to companies that don’t do it until someone decides to take it to higher authorities. Same deal as most web accessibility laws: almost universally ignored and only followed by companies doing the right thing but looking like out of touch jerks for it.

From the CAN-SPAM guide, keeping in mind that many groups (such as ours) send hundreds of thousands of 100% legitimate and customer-wanting emails per year:

“Each separate email in violation of the CAN-SPAM Act is subject to penalties of up to $16,000”

Until the order shipped I hadn’t stopped to think that several items that are solid and 12 feet wide apiece cannot be folded into a much smaller package. This also explains why shipping cost nearly as much as the items themselves.

ohmygoodness, I am excited for this show.

AMC is killing it. Mad Men, Breaking Bad, Rubicon (which is new but I think has great potential), and now this.
