So can we never stop talking about how rad Marissa’s voice is? Hands down, one of the most interesting and amazing vocalists out there right now. Holy shit.
I will be at the Hello Giggles one year anniversary show tonight at UCB. I will be talking about the Beastie Boys.

Today I tried, and failed, to convince my boss that the reason the flag in front of Borough Hall in Downtown Brooklyn is at half mast is to honor the life of Adam Yauch.
She did not realize who Adam Yauch was, and was also not convinced that they would be bothered to do so. I need a new job.
In the 10 years since Left Eye’s death, we all got to be a little famous. The idea of ‘fanmail’— even the very word— feels quaint and outdated. The channels have opened up so that we all send it and— more importantly— receive it on a daily basis in some form, be it retweets or reblogs or likes. Which means fame now feels that much more attainable, but the catch is that we finally get to know all about that alone-in-a-crowded-room feeling that famous people have been singing about for years.
