“I’m going to lace up my white shoes and spread the news far and wide that...”
– Pat Boone, I kid you not. Did you really think that recording an album of heavy metal covers was going to change his political views?

“jaygabler.tumblr.com is probably written by a male somewhere between 66-100...”
– Urlai.com analysis. My teachers always said I was mature for my age.

What I feel like doing is rolling my eyes
@gimme_noise: Wonder how many pubs will get the album title wrong... RT @boniver Read @RollingStone's review of 'Bon Iver, Bon Iver': bit.ly/jQFFjf
@JayGabler: @gimme_noise Is it supposed to be one "Bon Iver" or two "Bon Iver"s?
@gimme_noise: @JayGabler The album title is "Bon Iver, Bon Iver."
@gimme_noise: Interesting! RT @jagjaguwar @gimme_noise the band is fine with either spelling
@JayGabler: @gimme_noise @jagjaguwar So "Bon Iver, Bon Iver" by Bon Iver, or "Bon Iver" by Bon Iver are OK. Couldn't they just number 'em like Chicago?
@jagjaguwar: @JayGabler @gimme_noise go with what you feel

I just came across a photo of Kris Kross, all grown up. There’s something strangely disturbing about it—but not nearly as disturbing as the new MetLife ads where the Peanuts characters face giant, adult, non-animated versions of themselves. The poor little kids look upset in all the ads. Wouldn’t you be?!

Danger Den: what all my "last night" posts would... →
beckylang: I show up at Sarah Heuer’s house and she greets me by saying, “Hi Becky, you look like a chola, let’s go work on that ponytail.” Jay Gabler is sitting on the couch drinking beer from a receptacle that is yet another new size that we aren’t sure what to call. I spend too long “invigorating” my ponytail and suddenly they want to leave and I haven’t yet “got it in” properly with the...

The Tangential: The ten most played-out... →
thetangential: (And Tumblr posts, Facebook statuses, etc.) 10. Pop culture references. “If this Rapture also stars David Duchovny, I’ll die happy.” 9. Speculating about the activities of disappointed believers. “There’s gonna be a lot more people at Liquor Lyle’s than at church tomorrow.” 8. Straightforward goodbye. “I’m outta here, suckas! Enjoy the brimstone rain!” 7. Can I have your...

thetangential: some Tangential editors, like Jay Gabler, also star in pet medicine commercials. NBD guys. 2011 gets weirder: first I write a blog post coming out as a dog-hater, then I get hired to co-star in a dog medicine commercial.

Big hits of 1991: A debate
@MarcusMichalik: Look, I'm still waiting for you to acknowledge Rush Rush or Promise of a New Day.
@JayGabler: Acknowledged, yes, as one acknowledges a tube of chapstick.
@MarcusMichalik: Yes, that's right. A tube of chapstick that was once owned by Moses himself.
