Bounce. Bounce. Bounce. This past week I discovered some tunes from a St. Louis-based DJ named Spankalicious. He brings a sort of grimey flavor that sounds like the the Midwestern cousin of Z-Trip, Girl Talk and Diplo.

I’ve been digging in the crates lately so I’m a hit you with nine more fresh tracks after the jump. Continue reading
There are places in major cities where you can see a Starbucks while sitting in a Starbucks. This kind line of sight storefront placement may seem like overkill but there are some US cities that have so many coffee shops per capita that they have coffee shops inside of coffee shops.

You know one thing Zombies don’t currently have? Well, they own all of Hollywood, that’s for sure. And, yawr, they’re pretty popular in books too. And, yes, also, some of us may have zombie apocalypse survival kits. What?! It’s not just me. Anyway, now zombies will have their own convention. Like for serious, guys. Continue reading
So, have you noticed that in all these, “I’m a good guy who does bad things” movies at some point the main character always ends up in the Tough Guy Uniform of jeans, a black t-shirt, and a leather jacket? Yes, okay, so here’s another one of those movies.
In Hammett’s The Thin Man, Nick Charles describes a man as “pleasantly ugly.” At the risk of opening a Pandora’s box of Jezebellian outbursts on the subjectivity of beauty, I pose the question to you slores: what famous person do you think of as pleasantly ugly? Is “pleasantly ugly” just a cruel way of saying “unconventionally good looking” or is there a distinction between those two? (Pic via)
Just in case you couldn’t get enough of the 1970’s in last week’s episode, here we go again with a flash back to the Me Decade. You know it’s a spoilerama up behind the cut, so c’mon in and be spoiled. Continue reading
If you’ve ever thought about switching from your Big Bad Bank to a Small Community Bank, now might be the time. Bank of America announced that it will charge their customers a $5 monthly fee to use their debit card for purchases. The way to get out of this fee is to not use your debit card for purchases. However you can still access ATMs to withdraw money without incurring the fee.
I’m a reluctant Chase (read: former WaMu) customer, and I can only assume that it’s a matter of time before they start charging to use their debit card as well. The only thing keeping me from switching is that there are thousands of ATMs in the cities that I frequently visit that I can use for free. But at what point is the convenience of having a bank where you can access ATMs fee free worth it?
