there's a slightly hilarious essay in this week's New York Times Magazine's Funny Pages called "Preschool of Rock" about a hipster coming to grips with being a parent on his own terms.
here's a link to the article on nytimes.com
i actually have that same version of "Mahna Mahna" as performed by Cake on my iTunes, and it is mighty entertaining.

speaking of iTunes, i spent a sickening portion of yesterday morning listening to Ninja High School, and while the band's self-description as positive hardcore dance-rap may sound completely absurd, it makes perfect sense after listening to half of any one song of theirs. the best part is that their choruses are hooky on par with standard drug addiction. when i woke up today, i could help murmuring inside my head "It's Alright To Fight"'s anthemic chant "You're going home in a fucking ambulance!"
again, it sounds stupid when you read it but is absolutely charming in its innocence when you hear the song.

also, the cover story in this week's fashion & style section is about the alternative comedy clubs in manhattan. (link to article on nytimes.com) on the one hand, i want to take note of the clubs i haven't yet been to on here so i can go this summer, but on the other hand, now that they've been mentioned in the new york times, they're going to be more packed than usual. damn. and if i'd been home for the past year, i would have gotten so sick of shows at UCB (thanks to Steph, i'm imagining) that i would have found these clubs on my own. curse this floridian existance!!!

speaking of cool things in NYC, check out Wook Kim's awesome wallpapers, custom printed in Brooklyn. i totally love these right now.
