Sorry about the problems with the embedded Ghostly Swim album. The fine people at Stereogum know better: their station full of new music requires you to actually find and hit the “play” button. Play away… and excuse me for not having more time to wax lyrical about the contents.
you should see the stereogum.com mp3 player here if you have flash
Tofu is like fugu blowfish sushi: Prepared correctly, it’s delicious; prepared incorrectly, it’s lethal. Very early in my vegetarian career, I found myself famished and stuck in a mall, so I wandered over to the food court’s Asian counter. When I asked the teenage chief culinary artisan what was in the tofu stir-fry, he snorted and replied, “Shit.” Desperation made me order it anyway, and I can tell you that promises have rarely been more loyally kept than this guy’s pledge that the tofu would taste like shit. So here’s a tip: Unless you know you’re in expert hands (Thai restaurants are a good bet), don’t even try tofu. Otherwise, it’s your funeral.
From “Vegetarian Myths Debunked,” published in yesterday’s online Slate magazine by Taylor Clark. I have to agree with him and say that tofu goes through me like, I dunno, lager at 11pm after a boys’ night out. (Not that I’ve had one of those for a few years!) If it was all I could eat, I’d probably be eating meat. Fortunately it’s not, so I don’t. Read the rest of Clark’s moderately-stated views here.
Thanks to Riot Nrrrd in the iJamming! Pub who shared the link to this legally downloadable and embedable album, courtesy of a collaboration between the Ghostly International Label and Adult Swim. Ghostly Swim (yep, they worked on that title for a long time!) is electronic-based music at its finest; I’m particularly in love with “Chain” by School of Seven Bells. I’m even more in love with the fact that it’s so easy to share.
Unfortunately, because the embedded player here “plays” automatically, I’m taking it down. It’s easier than explaining to people how to hit the volume button; I don’t like web sites that automatically give you audio either.
But, really, this is an amazing giveaway. Download the entire album plus artwork (or just individual MP3s) here.
From second to bottom to a play-off place in under five months. Congratulations to Neil Warnock for turning Palace around and, who knows, maybe taking us back to the Premiership. And in style, too - nothing like a 5-0 win on the last day of the season proper, to go into the play-offs as the in-form team. Photo lifted from www.holmesdale.net, a fans’ site that should be self-explanatory for every self-respecting Eagles fan.
