50 Greatest Commercial Paradies of All Time
These are the greatest fakey commercials ever created, from the beginning of television history. My personal favorite is #12, because I am a huge fan of Lily Tomlin's.
A Genetic Theory of Homosexuality
A fascinating article at Slate.com. "Gay couples can't have biological kids together. So if homosexuality is genetic, why hasn't it died out?"
Cylinder Preservation and Digitization Project
"Cylinder recordings, the first commercially produced sound recordings, are a snapshot of musical and popular culture in the decades around the turn of the 20th century. They have long held the fascination of collectors and have presented challenges for playback and preservation by archives and collectors alike. With funding from the Institute of Museum and Library Services, the UCSB Libraries have created a digital collection of nearly 8,000 cylinder recordings held by the Department of Special Collections. In an effort to bring these recordings to a wider audience, they can be freely downloaded or streamed online."
Wake was a really preppy place, and this was in 2000, when the whole 90’s khakis thing was dying a long, slow, much-awaited death.
And here comes Nate, with long hair, cutoff shorts, coming off 2 months in Ireland to spend time with these Wake Forest preppy Greek system people. Yeah, I fit right on in.
They turned out to be nice enough, for the most part; it’s quite a story. I’ll have to tell it on the blog sometime.
