The Most Emailed 'New York Times' Article Ever | The Awl
I can almost believe this...
The Most Emailed 'New York Times' Article Ever | The Awl: While waiting to hear back from the Ivy League colleges she’s hoping to attend, the seventeen-year-old senior at one of Manhattan’s most exclusive private schools is doing research for a paper about organic farming in the West Bank, whipping up a batch of vegan brownies, and, like an increasing number of American teenagers, teaching her dog to use an iPad.

Movies | Musicals | "Rock of Ages," Urban Planning, and the Culture Wars
Either way, it's lazy writing. Just forget the plot and enjoy the songs.
Movies | Musicals | "Rock of Ages," Urban Planning, and the Culture Wars: But you may not be aware of a major change in the plot: in the stage version (which I saw recently), the owners of the Bourbon Room rock club face off against greedy real estate developers who want to bulldoze the seedy Sunset Strip and replace it with “clean living.” As you can see in the trailer, these developers are replaced by a pack of Bible-thumping prudes who oppose the “sex, hateful music, and sex” of the Bourbon Lounge as epitomized by rock god Stacee Jaxx.

I get annoyed ever time someone says such-and-so drug is going to be "free"...
John Cochrane: The Real Trouble With the Birth-Control Mandate - WSJ.com: Insurance is a bad idea for small, regular and predictable expenses. There are good reasons that your car insurance company doesn't add $100 per year to your premium and then cover oil changes, and that your health insurance doesn't charge $50 more per year and cover toothpaste.

Skrillex Gets Deep on the Cusp of the Grammys - Page 1 - Music - New York - Village Voice
Violet would pick either Skrillex or Nicki Minaj...
Skrillex Gets Deep on the Cusp of the Grammys - Page 1 - Music - New York - Village Voice: The list of nominees in this year's Best New Artist category makes the point about music's sprawl well: There's the lite country-pop of the sibling act the Band Perry; the syllable-splitting hyper-color antics of Nicki Minaj; the tenacious St. John's–bred hip-hop of J. Cole; and the feelings-swaddled exercise in 21st-century tastefulness Bon Iver. And then there's Skrillex, the business name of a 24-year-old named Sonny Moore, a dance producer who is one of this year's most nominated artists.

Car Commercialism: The Making of OK Go's "Needing/Getting" Music Video - Car and Driver
Car Commercialism: The Making of OK Go's "Needing/Getting" Music Video - Car and Driver: Damian Kulash Jr. sits in one of the editing suites of a media-production house in downtown San Francisco, watching clips on a computer screen of a silver Chevy Sonic doing hand-brake turns in a dust cloud. The car is festooned with what looks like forks, hockey sticks, TV antennas, railroad horns, shark spears, and a couple of dead Persian cats, which are in fact large microphones fitted with furry windsocks. Inside the car, three guys plus Kulash—each in a driving suit and matching helmet of a different lollipop color—pull levers, finger small pneumatic keyboards called melodicas, and mouth the words to a song called “Needing/Getting.”
