Finally the second best show on television is back.
Damien Jurado’s eleventh studio album, Maraqopa, arrives next week. In celebration, The Seattle Times is steaming four Jurado covers, all by Seattle artists. Here’s Jeremy Enigk doing “Last Rights”.
William Bowers' Hunter S. Thompson-esque Journal of the Paradise Lost Tour is a Really, Really Fun Read
“My poor adopted state takes so much guff. Some people cling to an ‘idea of Florida,’ that our sidewalks are split between befuddled senior citizens and topless Spring Breakers, that we all wake in the morn, do body shots off each other, feed a tourist to our pet alligators, swing by the painkiller clinic to pick up our groceries, and then ride the public airboat system to our jobs in the thong district.”
No one ever expected Seth Rogen to be a leading man after Freaks and Geeks. Not like Hollywood’s attempt to make Jack Black a leading man, but a real one. Judd Apatow spent the majority of the aughts establishing himself as this generation’s John Hughes and select members of his cast into go-to comedic stars.
As Slate’s Dana Stevens points out, the female faction of the Freaks’ cast, both Linda Cardellini and Busy Philipps, have experienced minimal success.
I’ve waited a long time for the wayaward Freaks and Geeks’ cast and crew to be vindicated. First, last year, with Paul Feig’s bachelorette version of The Hangover and now with Cardellini’s first proper role since Freaks, in Return. Cardellini was always one of the strongest links in Freaks short lived run and Return hopes to establish her as a great actress and not just a character from a fan-obsessed cult television series.

A friend and old co-worker of mine does a (sometimes) weekly podcast with his roommates and assorted guests covering a mix of topics; tech trends, pop culture, music, etc. A few months ago I sat down and talked about god knows what. Take a listen to the episode I was featured on, along with the others.
Last week I watched a twenty-five year old randomly place stamps and address on an envelope — when corrected about the placement he defended himself by explaining he had actually never sent any snail mail. This video also has a kids these days feeling to it.
