Awe, Hell.

Today, on Facebook, I saw a super sweet status update.
"Why do people who don't believe in God celebrate Christmas? Just saying..."
Merry Christmas Everyone!!

R.E.M. rocker

I was never a huge fan of R.E.M. (and am still not really) but this song always got my attention. So fucking awesome in so many ways.

Spotify and Facebook. Please just stop.

"Let's go back to music: It is meaningful if I tell you that I really like the avant-garde music by Olivier Messiaen. It's also meaningful to confess that I sometimes relax by listening to Pink Floyd. But if this kind of communication is replaced by a constant pipeline of what's queued up in Spotify, it all becomes meaningless. There's no "sharing" at all. Frictionless sharing isn't better sharing; it's the absence of sharing. There's something about the friction, the need to work, the one-on-one contact, that makes the sharing real, not just some cyber phenomenon. If you want to tell me what you listen to, I care. But if it's just a feed in some social application that's constantly updated without your volition, why do I care? It's just another form of spam, particularly if I'm also receiving thousands of updates every day from hundreds of other friends."

Sitting down is freaking me out

This topic is the scariest one out there for me right now. I hate thinking about this shit! *While much of the facts may be hard to measure, it's not an arguable point that we are all sitting down much longer than we did just 10 years ago. Ugh. Sitting is Killing You

RA on Letterman webcast

If you are a Ryan Adams fan, you will LOVE this. If you are not then you probably won't, but this is the best performance of his I have seen in a long time (read: he plays really, really awesome older songs).

The Groove is King
