- Thrillist sends you a daily email and tells you how to be cool, regardless of what city you live.
- New Death Cab video for “Cath…” One of four songs on the new album that are absolutely outstanding (the other three being Grapevine Fires, Bixby and No Sunlight).
- Blackberry etiquette reaches all time low for Boston rental agent:
Hi we can definetly set up a time for Saturday I just have a couple questions to see if I have any other listings that might work for you what is the maximum you guys can spend on rent what parts of town would you like to be in anything you can tell me about what your looking for would be very helpful thanks and I hope to hear back from you soon
- Sub Pop, the best record label around, turns 20 years old! I wish they would do another free iTunes sampler. Last year’s was superb, and Brooklyn Vegan linked us to their Single’s Club, but it’s $75, and my AT&T bill is too much to afford that. Damn.
- 25 well designed book covers. Cool. [EW via Kottke]
- Oobject is “…like a Billboard chart for gadgets”
- Google’s treading on Second Life’s territory with Lively, a new avatar based virtual world app due out later this year. [WSJ]
- Wind power guy T. Boone Pickens (who happens to have the best name I’ve ever seen) is using Facebook to drum up support for his interesting campaign.
- Mad Atoms wonders what will happen when the record store clerk – an iconic fixture in society – finally dies. Some potential replacements include sushi chefs or the “long haired asshole” at Cinefile.
- My Morning Jacket is going Ryan Adams on us (har har funny prolific musician joke har) by working on a follow up to Evil Urges a month or two after it came out. Nice.
Coming soon – these daily links are getting a little too disorganized for my OCD tastes, so all 5 of you that read this are going to start seeing a breakout of links between miscellany and music stuff. Don’t be alarmed.
