Last summer I went to the Dolly Parton room at Hotel Pelirocco, the sweetest hotel in Brighton, England, to meet up with my nice friends from Simple Folk Radio and Galapagos Presents and record this session.

What better time than now—before New Years comes and goes, before the inevitable post-holiday comedown sets in, before we all return to our dreary routines—to revisit the greatest present we here at CMG could muster in the past year or so: two tremendous hours of ’80s jams, as interpreted by 29 of…

Fact-Checking the NRA Press Conference

“How can we possibly even guess how many, given our nation’s refusal to create an active national database of the mentally ill?”

To our knowledge, no one — not even the NRA — has proposed a national database of the mentally ill. Since similar databases of sex offenders have done little to protect children from sex crimes, that seems unlikely to help. Also, few organizations have done more than the NRA to block the registration of anything, as they work vigorously to defeat gun registration databases wherever they find them.

NYC Drag Queen Peppermint wraps up 2012 with a remake of “212” by Azealia Banks. I am officially impressed and I like this better than the original.

This item suggests some “DIY gift ideas:”

December has really gotten away on me and with less than a week now until Christmas — time is of the essence. I don’t know about you, but I still have a bit of a list to get through and was hoping to do a few last minute DIYs for some of them. I’ve been bookmarking ideas and inspiration and thought some of you may be interested. I think there’s something for everyone on this list (adult-wise) and they’re all do-able in an afternoon.

Of the various projects, this one seemed promising for Unconsumptioneers. (“A simple DIY for anyone (yet so impressive)! Made with an old T-shirt too — so perfect for an eco-friendly friend!”)

“I enjoy dishes that cause a spectacle, especially when dining alone, as it implies that maybe all of your friends ditched you on your birthday but you’re not going to let that stop you from celebrating! It is for this reason I have always wanted to sit at a Hibachi table all by myself, cheering loudly and making the chef very uncomfortable.”
