I love working with this band.

19c:

I was pretty stoked to head out to Piano’s last night to see my buddy Ryan’s new band, Civilian. A few of you may remember his last band, Alexander, but they’re actually out touring their new record that came out a couple weeks ago.

Their sound is a bit like if David Bazan & Ben Gibbard got together, had a kinky one night man stand—somehow had a baby—and then that baby learned how to play guitar and started a rock band.

So, if sexy rock music sounds like your kind of thing, be sure to check out the album at one of the links below.

So Cook truly did just walk away from $75 million. Which is remarkable for an executive of his standing in an era when entitlement, greed and arrogance are so often part of the job description. Which is not to say that he’s not reaping some benefits here. There’s a lot of mileage for Apple in a symbolic gesture like this, and Cook profits when Apple’s overall value increases. Say what you will, but this was a classy gesture up and down. When was the last time you saw headlines about a successful CEO of a wildly successful company walking away from millions of dollars that he could have just as easily pocketed? Clearly, Cook is focused on more important and interesting things than having the biggest yacht in the harbor.

I sported that style of shoe.

Valerie returns with the goods! Thanks for this! Ah, the late ’90s were truly all about the clunky shoes. The clunkier the better. I got used to the clunk, so this age of stilettos is totally lost on me.

Could be good, but it does have corny parts to it.

TV Show Promo of the Day: J.J. Abrams — of AliasLost, and Fringe fame — is at the helm of Revolution, a new drama set in a post-apocalyptic world 15 years “after the lights went out” — or when a mysterious electromagnetic pulse threw humanity back into the 19th century, without cars, phones, or (gasp!) the Internet. Premieres this fall on NBC.
