The Boston Herald’s Top 111 Songs of 2011, #85-89

85. Britney Spears feat. Nicki Minaj and Ke$ha - Til the World Ends (remix)
86. Skrillex - Kill Everybody
87. Yale, Massachusetts - Doo Wop
88. Selena Gomez - Love You Like a Love Song
89. David Guetta feat. Sia - Titanium

Better than Selena Gomez, worse than Skrillex: the story of my life. I do consider it a moral victory that Britney Spears needed Nicki Minaj AND Ke$ha to overcome my pop-punk band.

Even Tom Cruise couldn’t ruin this movie.

As you may know, I kind of like this writer, Jonathan Lethem. Here is the cover of his upcoming novel, due out in October. His last two books have been interesting: You Don’t Love Me Yet was a mess and I loved it, Chronic City was a total mess and it was great. Let’s hope this lives up to its cover.

Some Mad Men Season 6 predictions

  • Don gets Sylvia pregnant, she pretends it’s her husband’s
  • Don suffers some sort of medical trauma, probably a heart attack
  • Pete continues his ascent up the SCDP boxing rankings by knocking out Harry
  • Harry is then forced out of the agency either after saying something racist (most likely to Dawn) OR trying to use Bert’s sudden death (dude has to croak soon) to become a partner OR doing both at the same time
  • Ken (Cosgrove!) leaves SCDP
  • and Peggy sleeps with her sleazy new boss, obviously

The lost Howard and Nester where Howard calls Nester a little shit.

The last Howard and Nester in the final issue of Nintendo Power. Who’d have thought NESTER would have grown up to be the lame dad, eh Howard? But seriously, it’s totally depressing that NP is dead.

I don’t really know what to make of this. It makes Primer seem like a really straight-forward film. It looked really pretty, though. Instead of trying to figure it out, I’m just going to watch Primer again.

R.I.P., Roger. I owe you everything, from my desire to write to my choice of college and profession to my work ethic to my favorite quote of yours of all time: “The muse visits during the act of creation, not before.” The man was all about work, and getting better, and trying to figure it all out. He was my professional hero.

One of the greatest critics to ever pick up a pen and a great influence on my writing. I wouldn’t know half as much as I do about film if it wasn’t for him. One of the great minds of the 20th century.

I was obsessed with Metroid in elementary school. I drew pictures and maps and wrote letters to Nintendo Power about it. I was deeply afraid of aliens.
