My iTunes Playlist (courtesy of Genius)
I had to share this incredible playlist my work iTunes made when I played Sweet Disposition by The Temper Trap and then pressed the “Genius” button. I am always pretty impressed by the Genius iTunes feature (much more so than the “Genius Bar” feature at the Apple store, bunch of idiots), but this playlist is pretty much made of awesome and had to be shared with the world. ...

Try Not to Spit the Egg Nog Out Your Nose
Lady Gaga recorded a Christmas song. Yes this Lady Gaga:
A walking Christmas ornament year round. You would think if anyone could make a great Christmas single it would be her. And boy does this not disappoint. The track is called Christmas Tree and you have to listen below for the full effect of its hilarity, but a little taste of the lyrics are: “Oh, oh Christmas, my Christmas...

Summer: I'm going to the supply closet, you guys need anything?
Tom: (suggestively) I think you KNOW what I need.
Summer: (pauses, looking a little confused)
Tom: Uh, toner.
Summer: Oh, ok, no problem. (walks away)

This Just In: Jimmy Fallon Revives "I Wish it Was...
I got an early Christmas present today (and no it’s not Booth, unfortunately)! Last night on Late Night with Jimmy Fallon, Jimmy and special guest (an impressively thin) Horatio Sanz performed “I Wish it Was Christmas Today,” one of my most favorite holiday SNL goodies (aside from Schweddy Balls, which is just in a whole other league of amazingness). And not only that but then...

The Butterfly's Flying Away
I am a sad panda today as one of my roommates is moving back to Michigan to actually live in the same place as his wife (psh what is that?). This song is maybe his favorite thing ever. I mean aside from Teen Wolf and The Bourne Ultimatum of course. (Side note: Can they please mash up those two movies at some point? The Teen Wolf Ultimatum maybe? I would watch that.) So, pour out some margarita...
WatchThank you David Letterman for showcasing what a $25,000 cupcake car is: fucking ridiculous.

More of the Best Indie Artists from 2009
This two-disc compilation album came out in February so I’m a lot little behind, but I’m so glad I finally found it because this lineup is amazing! Also, the proceeds from the album sales go to a charity that raises funds and awareness for HIV and AIDS.
Check out the track list below and click on the album cover to go to the official site. Oh, and if you’ve known about this...

Let's Hear it for New York
Don’t ever let anyone tell you that NYC is an unfriendly place. This horribly miserable rainy morning when the MetroCard reader spit out my card as “expired” (which meant having to walk to work in said rain) I had two people volunteer to pay my bus fare. I couldn’t even get out a protest before the woman swiped her card for me. It’s only $2, but to me it was...

Watch@hitRECordjoe on SNL impersonating @jason_mraz. I love when the things I love collide. Also, Andy Samburg as Jack Johnson looks just like my friend Josh from grad school (Amiright BU peeps?) and Dave Matthews does a wicked impression of Ozzy Osborne.
