Paste Magazine: Ben Folds talks new album and release date: Awesome. Ben is releasing his third full-length solo album, Way To Normal, on September 16th. Looks like this will go back to his quirkier roots as opposed to the more “mature” sound of 2005’s Songs For Silverman.

“It doesn’t take a mathematician to figure out that Jason Giambi’s hitting prowess plus a fashionable mustache, equals a bona fide All-Star. Giambi’s significant first-half production as well as his powerful lip fur – indicating great intellect and good looks – make two very compelling reasons for his place on the American League All-Star roster.”

- Aaron Perlut, Executive Director of The American Mustache Institute

I hate you both. What was the fish dish?

sarahschneider:

Just got back from the culinary masterpiece known as Le Bernadin. Adam and I each got the tasting menu, which was 8 courses plus a couple extras. The baked lobster asparagus was perhaps the best thing I’ve ever eaten. That’s about all I can type right now, my belly is swollen with the dreams of foodies everywhere.

This is so awesome.

One of those broken chairs completely bottomed out on me in the middle of a Naked Babies show when the milk crate slipped and I crashed to the floor.

Say what you want about this week’s series and the Mets’ longstanding rivalry with the Cardinals, but St. Louis might be the best National League city in the country.

THR: Jason Schwartzman cast in HBO pilot

Tue, 01 Jul 2008 10:05:00 -0400

THR: Jason Schwartzman cast in HBO pilot:

Jason Schwartzman has been tapped as the lead in HBO’s comedy pilot “Bored to Death,” lifting the contingency on the project.

The Jonathan Ames-penned “Bored” centers on Jonathan (Schwartzman), a struggling thirtysomething writer with a drinking problem in Brooklyn who, following a painful breakup with his girlfriend, decides to emulate his heroes from the novels of Raymond Chandler and Dashiell Hammett. He takes out an ad pretending to be a private detective and starts taking cases — solving some and making others worse.

YES. COUNT ME IN.
