Well, this sucks. Rick Santorum plays fantasy baseball. He’s even good at, I guess, depending on how good the other guys in his league are: In the last fifteen years of playing in an AL-only league, he’s won seven times. I was really disappointed when I read this, because for a second it made me feel something close to affection for Rick Santorum, in that way you do when you find out someone is the same kind of nerd you are.

“You (Kim Thayil of Soundgarden) hurt me deeply,” Corgan says, touching the giant S on his chest and pouting. “You hurt me deeply in my heart.” The Pumpkins go on to play the best set anybody has ever heard them play, their usual passiveness and precision overlaid with an unfamiliar scrim of anger that throws their music into brilliant relief.

SPIN Magazine, April 1994

Friday Night Pregunta

Which is the more entry-level chillwave song?

  • Standing Outside a Broken Phone Booth with Money in My Hand (Primative Radio Gods); or
  • Angry Johnny (Poe).

Not to influence your decision, but J Dilla provided drum programming on the 1995 Poe record.
