my primal urge to write and distribute a newsletter about bands that suck and why they suck

Chris Cornell and Eddie Vedder could sing This Photograph is Proof but Adam Lazzara and Fred Mascherino couldn’t sing Hunger Strike

The fact that Kaleb Horton died begging for work instead having a column at some hip legacy mag is such an indictment of this industry. People should have been begging to put him on payroll. But nope, we've reserved that space for Ezra Klein

I also have advice. Everybody loves reading advice on the computer, so I'll share it: the best thing you can do right now is log off as hard as you can. Go outside, talk to people in real life where it's actually kind of rude to talk about the news, try to actually see the friends you usually just text message. Go for a long drive and turn the phone off while you do it. Get back into your hobbies or pick one and learn it for a while. Watch one of those studio movies that reviews called "wildly miscalculated" and you haven't seen since high school. Play an album you like but find embarrassing. Go to free community events even if they sound stupid. If you take the freeway, try the surface streets. Go to a bad diner and just order some bad coffee because even bad coffee is good coffee. You can't help anybody when you're exhausted and keep posting one million college-educated rewordings of "I would love to be dead right now" on the computer. Walk away from the thing and try out some of those normal things you hear about and if you get bored that's wonderful because we're not supposed to get bored anymore. It turns out boredom is the Cadillac of feelings.

i have a theory that the way the iphone front facing camera distorts facial features is causing a lot of people to think they're not as pretty as they actually are

'From Under The Cork Tree,' Fall Out Boy's star-making sophomore album, turns 20 this Saturday. A look back at the moment when MySpace emo went supernova:
Fall Out Boy's 'From Under The Cork Tree' Turns 20
“AM I MORE THAN YOU BARGAINED FOR YET?” is the perfect introduction to Fall Out Boy, and for millions of listeners, that’s what it became.
