Him: By the way, I hate Mumford & Sons.
Me: What, no!
Him: I listened to the song you played me, and I was like, "This is pretty good," and then I listened to the rest of the record, and I was like, "I HATE this."
Me: That is extremely disappointing.
Him: So my official statement is now that I like Mumford & Sons, but with the asterisk of "only when you play them on ukulele sitting on my couch."
Me: Fair enough.
Him: It is a pretty big asterisk.

PLEASE PREPARE FOR SLIGHTLY DRUNK BLOGGING FROM MY...
I spent three and a half hours at the bar: drinking, working, and getting a lot done, and as soon as I decided that I was done working, my brain went “HAY LOOK ALCOHOLS.”
Someone get me away from this adorable bartender before I make a bad decision or two.

INCREDIBLY NERDY MOMENT OF THE DAY:
I decided it would be hilarious to create a Tumblr called “DudesWhoLikeJohnGreen,” and just reblog photos from TFiOSHomes that were taken by guys. I even went so far as to scroll through a few pages of TFiOSHomes and open the dudes in new tabs, but then I started to feel bad about encouraging the gender binary, so I ditched the idea.
Seriously, though: The ladies love John Green.

Yes, I am Jewish. All the members of The Mongrel Jews were at least raised Jewish.
I am curious about the “whoa wait.” Was it a whoa wait of surprise and delight, like “Oh man, this cool person on Tumblr is Jewish!” or a whoa wait of...

My friend Mike-Jack Stoumbos wrote a novel called The Baron Would Be Proud, and is currently running a Kickstarter campaign to publish the book. He’s made his goal and then some, but you still have a few days to pre-order the book and support independent authors! It’s just $6 to buy the ebook version.
The Baron Would Be Proud is a whimsical, mock-historical-fiction folk tale about...

Growing up in Seattle, I called it “kaddywompas.”
Living in Michigan, I learned “killikumwamee.”
Recently, a friend taught me “whopperjawed” for a new nonsense word meaning “askew.”
Anyone else have additions to the list?

Altsounds: I find it strange that people don’t understand your lyrics because you have very good diction!
Frank Turner: Well, it’s just stuff like, there’s a line in "Reasons Not To Be An Idiot," the popular consensus is that it’s actually ‘invisible llama’, rather than ‘invisible armour’ – so there’s all these people making up T-shirts with a dotted outline of a llama on them.

My band, The Mongrel Jews, just launched a Kickstarter campaign to help us record a real, proper album. Won’t you check it out? There are a wide variety of delightful prizes from $5-$5000, for any level of support. Take a look, open your pocketbook wide, and someday you can tell your friends and neighbors that you helped
THE MONGREL JEWS INHERIT THE EARTH.
