“

So, here is the recipe to make a jack-o-lantern in France:

1. Stalk various markets for three days, asking if they have pumpkins. In response, you will receive blank stares and be handed a giant squash with instructions, spoken extra slowly and carefully, that THIS IS FOR EATING and that it costs 25 euros. Sigh.

2. Finally accept that you will not find a pumpkin in France, and try to think of another vegetable to use. Oranges? Turnips?

3. On the third day, find mini pumpkins. Rejoice.

4. Decide that the spaghetti squash, being bright orange and costing 2 euros, is perfect.

“The BBC was cowardly, but perhaps understood better than its critics how the net is reducing the cost of complaining to zero and allowing waves of outrage to crash through cyberspace. A generation ago, protest was hard work. Organising a demonstration involved negotiating with the police, agreeing a reasonably coherent programme with allies, hiring coaches and appointing stewards. Even running a write-in campaign necessitated persuading people to take the time to draft letters and post them. A few hundred complaints was an impressive total in the circumstances.”

Home - Edward Sharpe and the Magnetic Zeros (On Letterman)

As featured on last week’s “Gossip Girl.” This LA band is blowing up and deservedly so. The album is fantastic, and as you can probably see, they are a hoot live.

(via boringloser)

Fun little song by a band that looks like it might have killed Sharon Tate.

But the real reason for the reblog is that I can’t get over how cute the short haired ladysinger is.

Gotta agree with Greg, but I find the accordionist adorable.

“

“Floon” spokesperson Jordan Newman confirmed this morning that McCrea would be endorsing Flaherty’s campaign, saying McCrea would focus on what to do with the Boston Redevelopment Authority (BRA).

“Kevin’s really set his sights on [the BRA] as a target for transparency, for accountability,” said Newman.

Floon hopes this announcement shows that their camp will work with “others like Kevin who have been out there sort of raising out expectations with city government,” said Newman.
