    Norah

    In response to Norah’s well thought out and crafted posts, here’s something half-assed. But it can’t wait. HBO is currently airing Angry Boys, an Australian show that’s 3 seasons in so far. Easily on my top 5 comedies list already. I don’t feel the need to tell you how to watch shows online (especially if your computer is your TV). Even Joan couldn’t oversell this show.

    Also, this is for Neil and others who haven’t come around to rap/hip-hop. winter break wikipedia-ing and random blogs have led me to Rap Genius. It’s a hip-hop blog that explains songs, line by line. People post and “thumbs up” explanations, like its Wikipedia, and the most liked is the default explanation. Which has led to a lot more resepect for basically any rapper out there, as well as Watch the Throne, which has been on repeat for days. Because my iPod screen is broken.  Basically,  next time you search a song’s lyrics on Google, pick the rapgenius.com page.

    Shower time. Some of us don’t have school tomorrow.

    Job Interview Questions

    Innovative companies that want to grow and stay innovative need to hire innovative people. Tech companies like Google weed these people out by asking quirky questions. Ellen talks about the quick-on-your-feet thinking questions asked when she was interviewed for her job at the Board of Trade, but none were as crazy as this list that was compiled by Opendoor. It somewhat reminds me of Chuck Klosterman’s “23 Questions I Ask Everybody I Meet In Order To Decide If I Can Really Love Them.” Via Marketplace.

    This singer has a first name, and its…

    Neil asked if I heard about or liked Mayer Hawthorne. I said I had heard the name mentioned a few times on Soul-Sides, but wasn’t impressed by the one song I heard.  Then Brendan played his most popular single, The Walk, a few times while dj-ing.  Now I can’t get the song, and a few others from this white soul singer from Detroit, out of my head:

    Another great song (and video).

    Funny story, true story: When there was this uproar about Nickelback playing the Thanksgiving Halftime Show in Detroit, he campaigned to replace them.  When it didn’t go through, he played live from his basement with his Dad on the bass and streamed it on his website.  Pretty hilarious.
