Friday mashup:
- Alaska in Winter is my favorite discovery from the past week. It’s like Beirut, but with serious downtempo dub.
- Photoshop Express was released yesterday. You get 2gb of storage and some of the more popular Photoshop tools in a convenient, Flash-based format. I still am hoping for Picasa for Mac.
- Yelp Boston asks, “When was the last time you threw up?“
- Divine Caroline posts the “Worst Artery Cloggers in America.” Yikes, Chipotle is on here. My favorite is the “Just wrong, mate: Outback Aussie Cheese Fries.” With 2900 calories and 182g of fat, now I understand why America has redefined the average ass size.
- The New York Times assures us that, yes, running can get you high. [thanks, Lifehacker]
- William Kowalski, a writer living in Nova Scotia, offers a Canadian perspective on an American classic: F. Scott Fitzgerald’s The Great Gatsy. via Globe and Mail.
- Stereogum, et al debate the value of the Web Sheriff, a paid gopher who frequents mp3 blogs and politely asks users to remove select content by a certain record label ::cough Matador cough::. I really like some of the arguments made in this post about the role blogs that post mp3s play in spreading new music and, in turn, generating revenue for artists who are overcontracted and underpaid.
- What happens when you remove Garfield from Garfield comics? You embark on a journey “deep into the tortured mind of an isolated young everyman.”
