Ellen DeGeneres-Portia De Rossi Dueling Sisters... →
Yessss more Portia de Rossi on TV. She was so good on Better Off Ted that it makes my heart hurt. Sounds like a great role for her, too.
Also, I really want to slap NBC for passing on this, but let’s be fair: they’ve got a lot of comedies already, it’s a bit like Parks & Rec, and it’s not an obvious hit given de Rossi’s track record. But it is so on-brand for...

“Ten years ago this month, New York City writer Matthew Perpetua launched...”
– Interview: Fluxblog Turns 10 | The Measure
Can I just be a fag for a moment and saw how great it is that I met Matthew in 2002, within a month or two of Fluxblog starting, and that ten years later, this is his bio? No matter what Morrissey says, we love it when our friends become successful.

I’m really, really glad that the Times is writing this series about manufacturing conditions in China; it’s one of the most significant human-rights stories in the world, and it’s one of those things Americans truly do not like thinking about. I know I generally don’t, but a part of me is glad to have it rubbed in my face.
I sort of worry that the focus on Apple is...

WatchSleigh Bells - “Comeback Kid”
Oh shit, this video is absolutely great. Nailing it on 90s nostalgia. If I had seen this at thirteen years old, I would suddenly know what I wanted to do with my life.
Also, I think I would have a threeway with this band. THERE I SAID IT.

– Popjustice - A note to Alternative Music Scribes having trouble with Lana Del Rey
Been waiting for someone to write this post (there’s more). I have to admit I fundamentally don’t understand the venom about Lana Del Rey. The primary complaints appear to be that she has a...

Fun Fact Of The Day
Adele’s “Someone Like You” was co-written by the guy from Semisonic.
Not sure how I missed that until now.
(The presence of that guy, Ryan Tedder, and Rick Rubin on that record doesn’t do a whole lot of favors for the “Adele is so authentic / sui generis” argument you still hear occasionally, but whatever, not the kind of thing I get worked up about anymore.)

I write an email in which “Johnny Depp” is autocorrected to “Johnny Drip” four times, and am embarrassed about it.

Popjustice - Here are some facts about Keisha... →
So yes, the fifteen people in America who care about great UK pop (all of whom follow this Tumblr, I think) are all V. V. EXCITED about this (the prospect of a reunion of the original, talented Sugababes, under a new name) today. I certainly am! I just hope that all three of them had a conversation in which they were honest with each other about the fact that they’re just doing this to...

WatchScissor Sisters vs. Krystal Pepsy (a.k.a. Azealia Banks) - “Shady Love”
So, uh, this happened! I don’t honestly know what to think of it — I don’t think I actually needed to have Jake rap an entire song — but the simple fact of its existence (and the fact that it portends a 2012 Scissor Sisters album) is enough to get me excited. Also, I am really jealous of...

But let’s be honest, did I even have to tell you which band it was once you saw the song titles?
“I’d Go Anywhere With Hugh.” DYING.

Oh this is just too good. Can SNL please just suck it up, channel their inner 90s, and give us a low-budget Stefon movie already?
