THIS ONE IS KIND OF EMBARRASSING.
Robyn — Hang With Me
Seriously, this song totally gets to the teenage me. I’m trying not to feel weird/bad about that.
Also, man, I wish my hair was as awesome as Robyn’s. Going platinum is just too much work.
So tempted. Don’t be surprised if you see me rocking these glasses (which, I might add, are actually sunglasses, but I’d wear as styled here) later this year.

Once again, the Arcade Fire tells me my childhood experience was illegitimate.

Actually, I had this problem too, then searched by city name and not zip code, and it loaded just fine.
And, let me tell you, the Santa Fe, NM version of this is really trippy, given that “downtown” is a town square that is nearly 400 years old. Some parts of the application worked really, really well because of that.](http://30.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_l7za2obtOg1qz96eoo1_500.png)

It’s more in the early Cronenberg, early Polanski kind of mood, like ‘The Tenant.’
Vincent Cassel on Darren Aronofsky’s Black Swan (via seanfennessey)
I wasn’t aware of Black Swan until a few days ago; after watching the trailer my first thought that it was kind Rabid meets The Red Shoes. Or, yeah, The Tenant!
I am a little nervous about this, btw. Requiem for a Dream (The Director’s Cut) literally left me screaming “Turn it off! Turn it off!” in horror. That was a first! Then again, I adored The Fountain … (… and haven’t seen The Wresler yet. I KNOW.)
The Economist summarizes a study from Stanford’s Graduate School of Business showing how to tell when a CEO is lying:
Deceptive bosses, it transpires, tend to make more references to general knowledge (“as you know…”), and refer less to shareholder value (perhaps to minimise the risk of a lawsuit, the authors hypothesise). They also use fewer “non-extreme positive emotion words”. That is, instead of describing something as “good”, they call it “fantastic”. The aim is to “sound more persuasive” while talking horsefeathers.
By analyzing the linguistic features present during 30,000 conference calls by CEOs and CFOs the study also found:
[D]eceptive CEOs use significantly fewer self-references, more third person plural and impersonal pronouns, more extreme positive emotions, fewer extreme negative emotions, and fewer certainty and hesitation words.
Give CEOs a pencil and paper and listen well, and you too can detect horsefeathers. [via]
Fascinating stuff!
This is second time this video has come up on my dashboard recently, and every time I see it, I am reminded of just how much influence The Go-Go’s have had on my aural and visual aesthetic, even now. And my dance party techniques!
