What are you willing to put up with at your job?

evrt: This is something I would actually really like to hear from people about. And not to vent or simply out of current frustrations. What kind of crap are you actually willing to put up with before you just quite? I guess it always depends upon the person, and their personality, but I’m trying to get some sense of what degree of BS is normal to deal with. Would you work extra hours unpaid to...

Ever wondered how accurate Wikipedia is about your favorite indie bands? Luckily for you, Chicago Public Radio (I’m a member!) is on the case. Their series The Wikipedia Files sits down with artists such as The Dutchess and the Duke, Vivian Girls and The Flaming Lips. Above is the St. Vincent interview. In watching a few of these, Wikipedia seems to be fairly accurate.

So many familiar faces in this video, of course I have to reblog it. The SAF is such a great time every year. Although I didn’t get to go...

Ann Arbor News Prints Last Edition →

The Ann Arbor News was always one of my favorite papers. I had the privledge to take some time and meet with their news team in college and that experience stays with my to this day. Of course, a small number of the staff will be moving over to annarbor.com tomorrow but it’s not the same. I’ll miss it.

In it, he compares the hip hop fueds with world policy and draws some interesting parallels. This article focuses on the current fued between Jay-Z and The Game. Back when he was younger, Jay-Z was a merciless, ruthless killer in the “beefs” which define hip hop politics. He never...

I finally got around to editing my video from Seattle. Well, I’m almost done… about 95% there. I had about 4 hours of footage to sift through, most from the only 2 days I recorded since I forgot to film the majority of the trip. It’s mainly from the first drunken night and the drunken wedding night. I didn’t record the Sounders game, chip and putt, barbecuing at the beach,...

peterbaker: Ann Arbor’s “Michael Jackson Guy” reacts to Michael Jackson’s Death from John McCarthy. Holy crap! I forgot about Michael Jackson Guy! He’s a landmark of Ann Arbor. I’ve spent quite a few minutes watching his dances. This must’ve been one hell of a week for him.

This video involves a Delorean, a terrible Michael Jackson impersonation and a taint kick. It picks up right about 1:50 but really, just watch the whole thing. Just remember, the moonwalk should never be used in sorrow!
