If it weren’t for Tumblr I would not have stumbled across this song and my last 20 hours would’ve been a little less charming.
Him: Jade
Her: Alexander
Him: Do you remember that day you fell outta my window?
Her: I sure do, you came jumping out after me.
Him: Well, you fell on the concrete, nearly broke your ass, you were bleeding all over the place and I rushed you out to the hospital, you remember that?
Her: Yes I do.
Him: Well there’s something I never told you about that night.
Her: What didn’t you tell me?
Him: While you were sitting in the backseat smoking a cigarette you thought was gonna be your last, I was falling deep, deeply in love with you, and I never told you til just now.

Mainland (demo) | by Harvey Danger
Man, I get sick of CDs pretty quick, but HD’s “Dead Sea Scrolls” B-sides collection has been in my car for a week now and I’m still having fun every time I turn on my car.
"Somebody shoot me while I'm happy!"
Jesus said how awful life was, in the Sermon on the Mount: “Blessed are they that mourn,” and “Blessed at the meek,” and “Blessed are they which do hunger and thirst after righteousness.”
Henry David Thoreau said most famously, “The mass of men lead lives of quiet desperation.”
So it is not one whit mysterious that we poison the water and air and topsoil, and construct ever more cunning doomsday devices, both industrial and military. Let us be perfectly frank for a change. For practically everybody the end of the world can’t come soon enough.
My father, Kurt Senior, an Indianapolis architect who had cancer, and whose wife had committed suicide some fifteen years earlier, was arrested for running a red light in his hometown. It turned out he hadn’t had a driver’s license for twenty years!
You know what he told the arresting officer? “So shoot me,” he said.
The African-American jazz pianist Fats Waller had a sentence he use to shout when his playing was absolutely brilliant and hilarious. This was it: “Somebody shoot me while I’m happy!”
That there are such devices as firearms, as easy to operate as cigarette lighters and as cheap as toasters, capable at anybody’s whim of killing Father or Fats or Abraham Lincoln or John Lennon or Martin Luther King, Jr., or a woman pushing a baby carriage, should be proof enough for anybody that, to quote the old science fiction writer Kilgore Trout, “being alive is a crock of shit.”
-Kurt Vonnegut (Timequake, p. 2-3)

You Look So Happy (demo) | by Harvey Danger
Another song off their new B-Sides release “Dead Sea Scrolls.”
This patch of lyrics showed up later in the tune The Same As Being In Love which was actually recorded and made it onto an album. It’s cool when that happens.
When you base
Your whole identity
On reaction against somebody
It’s the same as being in love

Dan Harmon Brings New Media Know-How to Community →
newteevee.com
And as my blog continues to be a dumping ground for Community-related press, it also becomes a dumping ground for David Seger-related press.
But while the clips are good, Harmon has also come up with his own way of selling the project in the form of a truly inspired series of infomercials for Greendale Community College, focusing on the five As that the fictional university at the show’s center provides its student body: Accessibility, Affordability, Air Conditioning, Awesome New Friends and A Lot of Classes. (I’m looking forward to the Air Conditioning episode most of all.) Harmon stars as Greendale’s dean of admissions, and his deliberately amateur acting style is only one facet of the dead-on infomercial style being parodied.

So lucky I finally got to see these guys play as a full band. I promise they’re much more than the dudes who did Flagpole Sitta.
She barely fits inside my head, but i feel something.
Every element but one is in my thrall.
Stop traffic as I lie down in your footpath.
Like a similie i paint suggestive pictures of me and you…
“The geniuses at Channel 101 made a web series shooting guerrilla style inside of an IKEA store. The entire web series was still easier to put together than any piece of furniture from the store.”

If You Had A Bad Time by Alkaline Trio
Just some words of advice-
Maybe you’ve heard them before but here goes…
Just be true to yourself. If it lands you in hell,
Well, at least now you know.
Loud and clear is your heart, big and bright
are the places you might someday go.
With one-million things holding you down,
why you’re one of those things
I don’t know… No big deal, gotta go.

NBC.COM LAUNCHES 'GREENDALE COMMUNITY COLLEGE ORIENTATION VIDEOS' | TheFutonCritic.com →
thefutoncritic.com
In the “Greendale Orientation Videos,” based at the fictitious Greendale Community College featured in “Community,” the Dean of Admissions, Pat Isakson (played by series creator Dan Harmon) welcomes potential students to the school by presenting the straight A’s of Greendale: Accessibility, Affordability, Air Conditioning, Awesome New Friends and A Lot of Classes.
“These videos are a fun way to introduce people to the world of ‘Community,’” said executive producer Dan Harmon, “And my acting in them is a convenient way to lower their expectations.”
Made by Tom and me with lots of support and help from Harmon, Isakson, Radtke, Morgan Locke, Ben Plumer, and lots of good friends. Hooray.
You can watch the first part in the series HERE:

Murder & Comedy Filmed During Store Hours in ‘Ikea Heights’ | Tilzy.TV →

Tilzy did a sweet article on IKEA HEIGHTS. Hope the attention doesn’t make shooting EPISODE FOUR any harder than it should be.
It’s all good soft-boiled fun, and the currently three-part series is completely buoyant thanks to its kitschy and somewhat nostalgic backdrop. “This is a land of convenience and murder” grumbles Detective Mathis, and it is at this juncture that Seger manages to mix in a touch of reality as Mathis asks a few of the helpful Ikea customer service folks where he can find the ‘wall of knobs and handles,’ which does in fact exist at Ikea, and plays a key role in the Detective’s investigation.
CYOA: An Interview with DC Pierson of DERRICK →
benaxelrad.wordpress.com
It seems to be a common conception that, for all a person’s talents or hard work, you need connections in order to make it in “the business.” Has that been your experience?
DC: There are different ways to look at that. Having connections isn’t just about having a family member in the industry. It can also mean that if you keep doing the things that you love to do as best and as constantly as you can, along the way you’re going to meet people. Maybe they can’t do anything for you now because they’re just coming up alongside you, but eventually you both might be in positions, thanks to your hard work, where you can help each other out. And not as a form of nepotism, but because it’s easier to work with people you like and trust.
