The Dow Jones Can Suck My Bone

SF Jones in the New Jorker is hosting a contest, til 10/1, asking for the best dance playlist directly referencing the collapse and bailout of investment banks.

I emailed this entry today. I could have been ultra-obscure, and considered throwing in an Ui record (because Jones was in that band) for brownie points, but this is a dance playlist. The proletariat will be on the floor.

Everything on vinyl, save anything marked *. If you can get me a gig, email me for my #. I'm cheap, too, especially if I'm spinning in Manhattan.

Only the Cruelest Mother Would Force Her Daughter to Marry a 17-year-old Boy

"Levi? Can you please hold the baby while I pump? I have to take Trig to the doctor."
"Levi?"
"Levi?"
"Levi!"

"Huh?"

"I have to pump. Please hold your [son/daughter]?"

"What did I tell you, Bristol?"

"What?"

"Never ... interrupt ... me ... during ... Grand Theft Auto 3! Oh, and by the way, my friends are all staying over tonight and probably for a week for the skateboarding festival. Hope that's okay. And then I'm going to Daytona for a week. And can you order me and my new girlfriend here a pizza? This game gets us hungry. Plus - your mom called. She says stay married or you're cut off. I thought I told you not to give her my cell."
