When I Hit That Dip, Get Your Camera

Hi there, Kotaku. The week is over, and so we come to the Friday night open thread. I hope you had a good week! If you’re at PAX East, I trust you’re having a blast.

Here, gathered from the internet, are some things you might want to read before you get to gabbing.

“What books make you cringe to remember?” – This is a hard one to answer without sounding like a dweeb. But mine is easily The Celestine Prophecy. So much cringe.

Who cares if your record was digitally remastered? – This article at The Rumpus makes some interesting points.

Try the Pro Wrestling Name Generator -My Pro Wrestling Name is Cerebral Executioner. I’ll TAKE IT!

Have you guys read Michael Chabon’s The Yiddish Policemen’s Union? – Because it is awesome. I don’t know why it’s on my mind today. Booktaku!

“I don’t know how to tell my friend his/her band sucks” – “Every one knows that Guitar Center is the Toll Road to Broken Dreams Blvd.”

Here’s The Cardigans with “Choke” – What better way to close out a week of of random songs from First Band on the Moon than with the closing track from that album. Which rules.

Here’s an interesting essay about another essay about pop music snobbery – Well… actually, music snobbery is kind of boring. BUT, it has a picture of Azalia Banks. So.

So, it’s the weekend so let’s listen to her big song again – And we can all feel disconcerted and excited and weird and stuff.

That’s that! Have a good weekend, all.
