What is Dave Matthews listening to?
Matthews tells us about Xiu Xiu, the experimental indie project of Californian singer-songwriter Jamie Stewart, who, Matthews says, Tim Reynolds turned him on to. “There’s something about it where you can’t put it down,” he says. “It’s like crazy person music, but it’s really slammin’ and it’s really beautiful.

How I learned about sex.
Some older kids argued on the school bus.
“You had sex with Paula Abdul!”
“Oh yeah? You had sex with Madonna!”
I asked mom what that word meant and she gave me a book. Looking back, what weird insults.

My Awful Job History, Part 2
pleasedontsqueezetheshaman:
The most memorable part was a circulation desk worker who was 4’11, had alopecia and looked like gravity had won the war. She never let this get her down and loved to sexually harass the construction workers building the new fiction wing. She’d wobble up and say, “Oh my it’s hot out isn’t it?

Rethinking Medicine
jeffmiller:
We need to think more creatively; more radically. If you want the cost of health care to go down, wouldn’t it be good to increase the supply of health care providers? Shouldn’t we be rethinking the notion of medical school? Of residency, internships, and fellowships? Isn ‘t it possible that modern medicine is confined within an antiquated structure?

When I listened to music as a teenager, My dad would often crack open my bedroom door, look at the stereo, turn to me, shake his head in disappointment and shut the door.
