Re: “Why I Fucking Hate Kickball”
Unfortunately, all hipsters are followers, not creators. That's why you cannot claim Burroughs, Basquiat, and many others under this term.
Re: “Karen O Isn't The Reason This New Yeah Yeah Yeahs Record Is Good”
Maybe the writer isn't old enough, but I'd guess KO's costuming follows Mick Jagger's use of costuming from the Rich top hat statesman parody to Mr. America to court jester to disco man to Jamaican tribal chief and so on.
Re: “It's Weird That the Coolest Songs on the New Daft Punk are the Ones With Indie Rock Singers”
They should have learned. Human After All was full of tracks that were poison on the dancefloor, when viewed alone. And they definitely didn't follow that up with the best live show of all time or anything.

Proper club bangers? Jesus Christ. Aren't there already enough of those out there?
Re: “The Do's and Don'ts Of Dating With Tinder”
Enjoy TInder Douche! http://tinderdouche.tumblr.com/ to see all those amazing guys here in the city from two badass Brooklyn gals. Cheers!

How bout no with the spoilers in the title?
Re: “John Catsimatidis "Feels Sorry" For People Who Live In Brooklyn”
Catsinatidis continues to be haunted by his past which include him being ordered to pay $7M in reparations to employees in a class action suit where they sued Cats for bad working conditions, bad pay, no promotions, etc.. If that wasn't enough he has been fined over and over again for foisting tainted meat and fish at his Gristedes markets and yes, he also monkeyed around with the fruits and vegetables spraying them to camouflage how old they were. Makes you wonder how much you might trust him as mayor.
Re: “A Defense of the Gatsby Movie By Someone Who Loves the Book”
A most intelligent review. Thanks.
Re: “Sex, Love, and Brooklyn: Cum On My Tits and Other Sex Habits of the Highly Effective Man”
Anyone who brings a condom tells you they don't understand how a condom works. If they're carrying it around all day in their pocket, all that heat and pressure means by go time: it's going to break.
Re: “Screeching Weasel Frontman Punches Two Women During SXSW Show, Issues Apology with No Specific Mention of Having Punched Two Women”
Hahaha. People make me laugh. Who the fuck cares? His band left him, he was probably sued, his "career" is over. He shit his bed and now he's sleeping in it. The fact that it was a chick only barely holds any water. She was spitting on him. SPITTING ON HIM. I'm not about violence, or do I support violence toward women. But if you spit on me, you're getting punched in the face.
Re: “An Open Letter to J. Crew: Please Stop Trying to Deceive Your Customers”
Late to the party on this post and it's not related to shirts, BUT - just bought a pair of mens suede bucks from Jcrew. $200 - within four wearings they started squeaking worse than any pair of shoes I've ever owned. Sure enough, Made in China. Jcrew is a rip off and their shoes are terrible quality. Unless they're the Alden's, they suck. Never buying shoes from them again!
Re: “Another Author Who Hated Brooklyn? Henry Miller”
Ah! How unfortunate (yet conversationally wonderful!). everyone is referencing these latter day videos of Miller capitulating his abhorrence for the borough. This is a problem of accessibility and laziness! To watch an out of context video of miller on YouTube (be it a hilarious and illuminated video non the less) is a simple path. One needs only read the opening paragraph, neigh the opening sentence of Black Spring to see Millers respect for the streets that formed him! Letters to Emil as well backs up beautiful, sprawling portraits of the old neighborhood.
...perhaps I should counter with that!
The L magazine article quotes Henry's colloquialisms on Myrtle avenue and then references Big Boy Deli at the end, which is in fact the deli on the bottom floor of the building I live in (on myrtle ave). Small world.

Re: “It Sucks to Own a Food Truck”
One of the main reasons it's hard to own a food truck is that the licenses cost almost nothing but most are owned by a handful of people who illegally rent them out at outrageous prices. It's a business that needs cleaning up, in many senses of the word. For example, store owners must clean their sidewalks, but food trucks don't have that duty. And many brick and mortar stores sell take out so they do compete.
Re: “The Network Shows This Fall That Might Actually Not Be Terrible”
Yes! I don't know if it's just a Marvel in-house thing or if Whedon is trying to shake things up but I'm a little surprised by the lack of Unfamous Whedon Alumni recruited for the SHIELD show, at least so far. I would've figured at least a third of the cast of Much Ado About Nothing would follow Clark Gregg back to that set. Hopefully he'll at least get Carlos Jacott in there at some point.
Re: “Sex, Love, and Brooklyn: Cum On My Tits and Other Sex Habits of the Highly Effective Man”
Why does a sex positive, self-proclaimed cad tell you to wait!? To weed out fellows such as himself? I'm confused.
Re: “The Network Shows This Fall That Might Actually Not Be Terrible”
ah, too many Seths. I'd rather see Seth Green in Joss Whedon's show. You could add him to that photo to make it symmetrical.
Re: “The Network Shows This Fall That Might Actually Not Be Terrible”
I believe that's Seth Green in MacFarlane's show, not Seth Rogen, which I think downgrades the show from "awesome!/oh well" a la Faris on CBS from just the normal "whew, I watch too much TV anyway."
Re: “The Network Shows This Fall That Might Actually Not Be Terrible”
My hopes for S.H.I.E.L.D. would be considerably higher if they could have gotten their shit together and at least fucking centered everyone on the crest thing in the background of their press photo. Terrible.
Re: “Sex, Love, and Brooklyn: Cum On My Tits and Other Sex Habits of the Highly Effective Man”
Love this. And especially love point 4. I used to be all about men going down on me until I realised that for some it's very wrapped up in this weird egotistical "I want to make you come to prove how manly I am" thing. That pressure to come to turn him on just fucks the whole thing up.
Re: “M.I.A. to Perform at Super Bowl, Releases Super Vapid New Single”
I maybe wrong but isn't this song about the women to drive movement in Saudi Ariabia...and not car sex? I'm pretty sure this is about women's rights.
