In this case, “new” can mean a lot of different things.

In the almost eight years since Paramore released their debut LP, All We Know Is Falling, their sound has been described as emo, pop-punk, rock, post-grunge, alternative, and something called “emo metal”, according to ...

Felt like reposting this. A great album, and after a year, Ain't it Fun is getting the play it deserves.

I clearly live in the wrong part of the country.

Last week, we saw Paramore play Worcester and Mohegan Sun. This is my favorite song from the new album. If you haven't seen these guys live, you're missing out.

Attention Kids: In the 90s and early 2000s, before Instagram, Facebook, Twitter, and even PDFs, in order to get a document from Point A to Point B as quickly as possible (besides faxes), one would employ the services of a BIKE MESSENGER. They would pick up your document, hop on their fixie, battle traffic, swerve recklessly in between cabs and pedestrians, and hopefully deliver that document in one piece.

They were basically a hybrid of hipsters and Hells Angels. The most famous bike messenger ever is Puck from season 3 of MTV’s Real World, which was the last time the show was remotely close to real. Song by Nada Surf, who, as a matter of fact, wrote a pretty catchy song about 90s youth back in the 90s.

This is a recent blog my wife wrote about the great show Orange is the New Black, and its accurate portrayal of women's experiences. Well done (the show and the blog).

Official Program for the March on Washington

50 years ago on August 28, 1963, more than 250,000 demonstrators descended upon the nation’s capital to participate in the “March on Washington for Jobs and Freedom.” Not only was it the largest demonstration for human rights in United States history, but it also occasioned a rare display of unity among the various civil rights organizations. The event began with a rally at the Washington Monument featuring several celebrities and musicians. Participants then marched the mile-long National Mall to the Memorial. The three-hour long program at the Lincoln Memorial included speeches from prominent civil rights and religious leaders. The day ended with a meeting between the march leaders and President John F. Kennedy at the White House.

The idea for the 1963 March on Washington was envisioned by A. Philip Randolph, a long-time civil rights activist dedicated to improving the economic condition of black Americans. When Randolph first proposed the march in late 1962, he received little response from other civil rights leaders. He knew that cooperation would be difficult because each had his own agenda for the civil rights movement, and the leaders competed for funding and press coverage. Success of the March on Washington would depend on the involvement of the so-called “Big Six”—Randolph and the heads of the five major civil rights organizations: Roy Wilkins of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People (NAACP); Whitney Young, Jr., of the National Urban League; Rev. Martin Luther King, Jr., of the Southern Christian Leadership Conference (SCLC); James Farmer of the Conference of Racial Equality (CORE); and John Lewis of the Student Nonviolent Coordinating Committee (SNCC).

The details and organization of the march were handled by Bayard Rustin, Randolph’s trusted associate. Rustin was a veteran activist with extensive experience in putting together mass protest. With only two months to plan, Rustin established his headquarters in Harlem, NY, with a smaller office in Washington. He and his core staff of 200 volunteers quickly put together the largest peaceful demonstration in U.S. history.

RIP English.

…and I’m sure scholars were just as annoyed when people like Dickens and Twain were using “literally” improperly, because the original definition of “literally” is "an exact, word-for-word replication of text from one source to another." Definitions of words tend to morph over time, like they always have for centuries. So, what I’m literally trying to say is: Get over it.

So this made me laugh. A lot.

"Who’s… orange shoes there?"

"Gareth Bale."

"Gareth Bale. Where’s he from? He from England?"

"Wales."

“Wales? Wait… that’s another country?"

"Yes and no."

“How many countries are in this country?!"

"Four."

Michael Scott: Attention, everyone. Hello. Yes, I just want you to know that, this is not my decision, but from here on out, we can no longer be friends. And when we talk about things here, we must only discuss work-associated things. And you can consider this my retirement from comedy. And in the future, if I want to say something funny, or witty, or do an impression, I will no longer ever do any of those things. Jim Halpert: Does that include "that's what she said?" Michael Scott: Mm-hmm. Yes. Jim Halpert: Wow, that is really hard. You really think you can go all day long? Well, you always left me satisfied and smiling, so... Michael Scott: That's what she said!

NASA Releases Images of Earth by Distant Spacecraft [Click images to enlarge & read descriptions - Image Credit: NASA/JPL-Caltech/Space Science Institute.]

Color and black-and-white images of Earth taken by two NASA interplanetary spacecraft on July 19 show our planet and its moon as bright beacons from millions of miles away in space. NASA’s Cassini spacecraft captured the color images of Earth and the moon from its perch in the Saturn system nearly 900 million miles (1.5 billion kilometers) away. MESSENGER, the first probe to orbit Mercury, took a black-and-white image from a distance of 61 million miles (98 million kilometers) as part of a campaign to search for natural satellites of the planet. In the Cassini images Earth and the moon appear as mere dots — Earth a pale blue and the moon a stark white, visible between Saturn’s rings. It was the first time Cassini’s highest-resolution camera captured Earth and its moon as two distinct objects. It also marked the first time people on Earth had advance notice their planet’s portrait was being taken from interplanetary distances. NASA invited the public to celebrate by finding Saturn in their part of the sky, waving at the ringed planet and sharing pictures over the Internet. More than 20,000 people around the world participated. "We can’t see individual continents or people in this portrait of Earth, but this pale blue dot is a succinct summary of who we were on July 19," said Linda Spilker, Cassini project scientist, at NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory in Pasadena, Calif. “Cassini’s picture reminds us how tiny our home planet is in the vastness of space, and also testifies to the ingenuity of the citizens of this tiny planet to send a robotic spacecraft so far away from home to study Saturn and take a look-back photo of Earth." Pictures of Earth from the outer solar system are rare because from that distance, Earth appears very close to our sun. A camera’s sensitive detectors can be damaged by looking directly at the sun, just as a human being can damage his or her retina by doing the same. Cassini was able to take this image because the sun had temporarily moved behind Saturn from the spacecraft’s point of view and most of the light was blocked.

A wide-angle image of Earth will become part of a multi-image picture, or mosaic, of Saturn’s rings, which scientists are assembling. This image is not expected to be available for several weeks because of the time-consuming challenges involved in blending images taken in changing geometry and at vastly different light levels, with faint and extraordinarily bright targets side by side.
