We’re watching a short film Jay Adelson made in college. It’s called “Wilma and the Wedgit”. And it’s weird. Weird.

Is this supposed to be a Star Wars themed video? So confused, Mr. Ocean.

Dear The New Yorker,

Stop being such a devious and calculating publication with your incessant weekly deliveries of brand new issues. You just show up in my mailbox whenever you feel like it and make me feel like a busy jerk who’s just living her life and can’t find time to devour all your shiny and perfect and incredibly fascinating articles. You cruel and insensitive magazine. Shame on you.

I don’t understand why people hate birds. There’s always that one guy who says things like “I effing hate birds”. How can you hate birds?

Adult. - Hand to Phone

I went through a tragically hip electroclash phase five or so years ago, but Adult. is one of those bands that never got old. They’d probably be horrified to learn that this is now one of my top treadmill jogging songs.

Last.fm Tumblr Weekly Top Artists

joelaz:

If you’d like to highlight your music interests from Last.fm on your Tumblr page but don’t want to inundate friends with posts for each track, check out this simple tool I made called Last.fm Tumblr. Instead of generating a post for every individual track you listen to, this feed updates once a week with a list of your top 5 artists from the prior week. Less noise, same effect. See my post from last Sunday for an example of how the list will appear on Tumblr.

To add the feed to your Tumblr:

  1. Visit the Last.fm Tumblr page.
  2. Enter your Last.fm user name and click “Run Pipe”.
  3. Select “More options > Get as RSS” and copy that URL.
  4. Paste the RSS URL into the Tumblr feeds form as “links with summaries”.
  5. All done. Resume Tumbln.

The feed will automatically update each week on Sunday unless you don’t listen to any music through Last.fm that week, in which case nothing will appear. Let me know if you run into any problems or have any suggestions to improve the feed.

 This is great! Thanks Laz!
