My "A" key is broken
That’s not a metaphor. The keys on this laptop are flimsy but just the mere notion in my head that the button isn’t on there makes typing really weird. I spent probably an hour trying to put it back on, but no luck. Time for a new “A” key button.
Good thing I wasn’t playing on doing any major writing. I guess I’ll go iPad only tomorrow and take the...

J Dilla: the Mozart of hip-hop →
“Dilla is a modern genius,” he says. “Everyone has genius within them, but not everyone, for whatever reason, manifests it. But Dilla did. He stood for taking a great risk on different levels, for continuous hard work and for courage.
He is a modern genius because he captured and represented the spirit of a particular time. What he did was so deep that he has influenced a huge...

Jordan Rides The Bus (2010)
heywatchthismovie:
This is an ESPN special 30 for 30 film about Michael Jordan, NBA legend who after three straight NBA titles retired from basketball and headed to the minor leagues to play baseball. After the murder of his father, Jordan seemed to have lost his love of the game of basketball and this is an unprecedented look into one of the few examples we have in the modern era of a legend...

Last.fm recommendations
I’ve had last.fm for years, but I’ve been a pretty faithful scrobbler over the past few months especially. One of the features I never used until recently was the recommendations feature. While it gets some stuff wrong, it often introduces me to bands I’d never heard of, forgotten about or just needed to hear more of.
You can also get suggested bands for pretty much any artist...

The Book of Disquiet (Fernando Pessoa)
heyreadthisbook:
I simply cannot do this book justice by writing a review about it. It’s a complicated, non-linear set of sketches by Pessoa, a recluse who is the literary champion of Portugal. He created a variety of fictional characters that he wrote under, as his entire life — before he committed suicide — was spent alone with very little companionship to speak of.
This becomes clear as you...

simplyfootball asked: Are you looking forward to The Decemberists new album that comes out on Tuesday? I figured since you liked Laura Veirs so much, you would like them as well.

Samovar Hawaii-Grown Black tea →
heydrinkthistea:
I was amazed to see an American tea review over at Teaviews, so I had to make it the first tea I posted here for that reason even though I haven’t had it yet. I won’t regurgitate their entire review, you can read it yourself, but the description was intriguing to me.
The liquor colored brilliantly to an amber-brown infusion with a nose that struck me with a comparison to...
