You know what you can't do on F-Book? You can't put Grumpy Guy up on there.
Also, if you're like Brent and you live in the 2007s, you're not on those sites. Or maybe you boycott them like April. So this post is for you guys, because I still love you. This is what you're missing:
Breathless excitement over the upcoming Vampire Weekend album.
Even more breathless excitement over the upcoming Pavement tour, especially the shows in England.
Links to frightening pics of 40something TV stars, now staring in occasionally funny, often strange shows about cougars.
Links to the fun music blog of Carrie Brownstein (Sleater-Kinney), wherein she discusses whether it's okay to like the music of artists you don't, specifically the Black Lips guy, who just got in trouble for using the (other) f-word about the guy in Wavves.

How sweet. You still love me even though I don't love facebook. But would you love me even more if I dressed up like a flight attendant and gave you a soapy bath?
Have you listened to the new Vampire Weekend song, Horchata, on their site?
April, I don't like facebook either. Or twitter for that matter. And I would love it if you gave me a soapy bath as a flight attendant. As long as it's not in the airplane bathroom, mind you. But somehow I don't think you're talking to me anyway.
But I also didn't like The Brief Wondrous Life of Oscar Wao and sort of felt bad about it. Like maybe I was dumb and missing something. I feel better that you said **yuck**. Thank you.
