I was walking past the elevator bank and someone shouted at me. I kind of ignored him and kept walking, when I realized they were probably locked in there without a key card. So I walked back and opened the door and it was Jay-Z. I was like: “Um, wow, I really didn’t think you were talking to me!” And then I secretly hummed “New York” as I walked him to Julie’s.

Can’t stop being amused by this.
"Hey Internet,
Stop cramming The Grizzly Bears and Dirty Projectors down my throat and do a better job of making sure I listen to shit like Hockey’s “Too Fake.”
Thanks, David Seger"

On August 1, 1981, at 12:01 a.m., MTV: Music Television launched with the words “Ladies and gentlemen, rock and roll,” spoken by John Lack. Those words were immediately followed by the original MTV theme song, a crunching guitar riff written by Jonathan Elias and John Petersen, playing over a montage of the Apollo 11 moon landing. With the flag having a picture of MTVs logo on it. MTV producers Alan Goodman and Fred Seibert used this public domain footage as a conceit, associating MTV with the most famous moment in world television history. Seibert said they had originally planned to use Neil Armstrong’s “One small step” quote, but lawyers said Armstrong owns his name and likeness, and Armstrong had refused, so the quote was replaced with a beeping sound. At the moment of its launch, only a few thousand people on a single cable system in northern New Jersey could see it.Weirdest part for me is Adam Curry’s line at the end: “combining the best of TV with the best of radio.” There’s been a line in Next New Networks’ materials since we began: “combining the best of TV with the best of the web.” No coincidence that Fred was involved with both.
Ah my wasted youth. (And Tim, you really make me feel my age when I point out to you that Adam Curry didn’t start at MTV for another six years. That was original VJ Mark Goodman.)
No Dad, dingleberry is not what you eat with Swedish meatballs. Trips to Ikea are always memorable with the parents.
Hmm… I wonder what was so important?
It’s like a turducken!
The glory hole as artwork! Can’t help but think of It’s Always Sunny… @danny_devito. At the Armory Show in NYC
I agree, I am overdue for a night out.
