I’ve been meaning to Tumbl this for awhile, and it’s not new at all (almost seven years old), but it’s relatively new to me - I probably found it in November ‘09. Since Tyler and I are tweeting about “Ignition (Remix)” the last couple days, I was reminded of it, so here you go. It’s pretty great that it was started by John Darnielle of the Mountain Goats,...

How my broke friends can help me grow my mustache...
A lot of my friends are college-aged, which for the most part translates to “broke.” These are good people, too, who really want to support 826Boston and help me grow my part in the Moustache-A-Thon. I’ve come up with a list of ways people can help me help 826Boston if they’ve got the heart, but not the budget:

Simon: Good luck with that.
Jeannie: simon
Jeannie: when the hair phone rings

826Boston Moustache-A-Thon Update: →

Whoever she is she got some crazy eyebrows
She’s the lead singer of The Dresden Dolls and she’s also engaged to Neil Gaiman.
Also, her solo work is nothing short of incredible. Additionally, she’s crazy as fuck. In a good way.

Than finding out that yr music heroes have better taste in all things aural than you do.
It’s like, c’mon, Nix. MAN UP grow some taste buds.
Wouldn’t their superb taste in music be part of what MAKES them yr music heroes?
It’s like a kid who shoots hoops and is pretty good and wants to play in the NBA suddenly realizing, oh, wow, these guys are on a whole ‘nother...
