I Am (iTunes Shared Library) Famous
“My shared library is named “Cari and the Foxy Boxers” from the timeless Homer Simpson quote…”
The other day someone on our floor accosted C. and asked her if she was “Cari” because he wants to meet “Cari” because she is sharing an awesome playlist in her iTunes library. Furthermore, it is not just him, but other office mates in his area who listen to my music.
My shared library is named “Cari and the Foxy Boxers” from the timeless Homer Simpson quote:
“If the Bible has taught us nothing else, and it hasn’t, it’s that girls should stick to girls’ sports, such as hot oil wrestling and foxy boxing and such and such.”
I would like to thank my brother, Adam, for his invaluable contribution to my iTunes shared library renown. I could not have done it without all the music you’ve given me over the years.
Although the actual playlist was my own personal achievement, my shiny moment of iTunes glory, I don’t know to which playlist that guy was referring.
There are six playlists, three made specifically for certain people.
If they’re listening to B. No. 1, the playlist includes DFA 1979, Enon and The Kills.
If it’s B. No. 2, it includes Mos Def, Magnetic Fields and Spoon.
If it’s P.’s playlist, it includes The Rapture, Wu-Tang and Built to Spill.
My money is on the latter. Anyway, it was a nice affirmation for me during these trying times.

An extended version of Bon Iver’s La Blogotheque Take Away Show of “For Emma, Forever Ago” with three versions of the song and some very startled tourists.

Bottled Water = BullshitWe love this: Further proof (as if we should need it), that bottled water is an elegantly concocted scam: Now, you might be saying “Hey, Fiji water tastes amazing!” We tend to agree, but for that, we can refer you to an old post which enumerates the environmental costs of that sense of amazement.
The Blind Leading the Blind. Literally!1) I drive a hybrid car. When the gasoline engine is not running, the car is virtually silent. I marvel at the techno-future-awesomeness of this and other features in my car. 2) I live near a freeway. When it is one of the 24 hours in the earth’s daily cycle around its axis, said freeway is [...]
