"Best imaginable night, in any city in the world, in your words: In order to have a truly great night you have to have a horrible morning, for context. So I’d begin by waking up on the street in some exotic metropolis I’ve never been to before, and where I don’t know anyone, destitute, hungry and alone. Over the course of the day I’d be approached by some extremely attractive and interesting locals, who would invite me over to dine on the regional cuisine, which would turn out to be the best food I’ve ever tasted in my life. Towards evening, a little tipsy on the fruity elixir they’d refer to only as ‘the national beverage,’ they’d reveal themselves to be left-wing revolutionaries planning the overthrow of the U.S.-backed puppet regime. Around 11 PM I’d be joining them in storming the presidential palace, thinking to myself, ‘wow, I’m usually contemplating going to the Rainbo around this time.’ By 12:30, news of the people’s glorious victory would be spreading on the AP wires, causing a crisis within the Imperialist power structure that would lead, by 1:48 AM (‘Last call!’ at the Rainbo) to the world-wide collapse of Western hegemony. Around 4:48 AM I’d be crushed to death during the wild celebratory orgy in the Imperial bedchamber, auto-erotically asphyxiating while Van Halen’s 1984 album blasted on the presidential stereo."

Professional Manga Reader
I was really stoked to see this in Theme magazine. My friend Rob paid for us to hear him read a manga to us for my birthday almost two years ago. Check it out.

BAD VIDEOS
Gnarl's Barkley Who's Gonna Save My Soul.
Santogold's Lights Out. I was surprised by this one, especially after the hype over her first single LES. The patterns here are fresh. And I like when her high pitch voice. This is the way Pop music should be.
Radiohead House of Cards. All I can say is: Damn!
