Links Give You That Good Time You've Been Requesting

As everyone knows, the most important thing happening in the world right now is the separation of Sarah Silverman and Jimmy Kimmel.

I know this is weird but for some reason the shape of her head and boobs reminds me of the head lice from that episode of South Park.

kelly!

Jimmy Kimmel Live and The Sarah Silverman Show share roughly the same plane of "It's funny, but what is it intended to be funny about?" I liked the Trapped in the Closet parody they did a lot:

Jimmy's interview skills always make him seem like a sexual predator. I think we can pretty much assume that she was just dead tired of fucking him. At the same time, it was probably a relief for him to not have to listen to that 800th joke with her pretending to be a racist. She is the comedic equivalent of the Barack Obama New Yorker cover.

Full coverage of this in our forthcoming article on the intricacies of your next public divorce.

Apologies in advance for this post, my attention span has been in absolute shambles lately.

Frightened Rabbit:

I can't really name any of their song titles, but the Twilight Sad record has dominated a lot of our year. As far as current stuff goes, there's this artist called Leona Lewis in the UK, who released this great single. The rest of her album sucks really bad, but I think she's just kind of reaching over to the U.S. I wouldn't expect Pitchfork to cover her because she's a total r&b kind of artist, but she released this one great song called "Bleeding Love", which I really liked. It had kind of dark lyrics for pop music.

We don't keep up to date with current trends, just whatever comes to our ears, so we've been listening to TV on the Radio. "Wolf Like Me" was one of those that really got me. We listen to a lot of pop music. That kind of is really important to us to get a kind of pop grounding in our melody. We're not lucky enough to have a CD player, so we listen to the radio. It's a lot of pop chart stuff.

I just heard and really liked this great record by the Born Ruffians. Our tour manager had it on the van. There's this Scottish band he played us as well, called Close Lobsters. I'd never heard of [them], and Americans tell me about this band who came from my country [laughs]. They almost made it sound really like Echo and the Bunnymen and the Cure and stuff like that.

I really hope this gets put on David Remnick's tombstone. Jesus:

About five weeks ago we were about two hours from running a cover of Obama in a Brooklyn Dodger's uniform, sliding into home. And his number was #42. And anyone with even a little bit of knowledge of baseball history knows this is Jackie Robinson. So this was kind of a turn on Obama being the Jackie Robinson of American politics - in a way - and no doubt people on the Obama campaign would not have found it offensive — they would have immediately understood what we were trying to say, that Obama had jumped an enormous historical barrier. The only reason I yanked it was because it turned out someone had already done this, used this image on some political baseball cards. So I unfortunately held back that really good image…

More from Arm's Way

Pitchfork: So is Emma a real person, and is that her real name?

JV: Real person. real name. I won't divulge too much, but it's not a fake name. And it's not a fake person. I guess that's the best answer I can say: It's not a fake name and it's not a fake person. But it's not her real name and it's not a real person either. Do you get what I'm saying? If it wasn't for this person's privacy, I'd be able to talk pretty freely about this subject on a personal level. The record's about not her. It's about my struggles through years of dealing with the aftermath of lost love and longing and just mediocrity and just bad news, like life stuff. And in the [record], where the title comes from, the lyrics are actually a conversation between me and another girl, not this Emma character.

That's like the entire Emily Gould Josh Stein conflict in one quote.

i like this girl's blg:

i dont know what has changed over the past week, but i’ve been thinking about him alot. and in a different way. i blew him off all weekend without a second thought, but the momenti started my drive home i regretted my brusqueness and all i could think was how much i wanted to see him. we’re going to dinner tomorrow after my pop pop’s funeral.

last night i found myself thinking about him as i fell asleep, and then i dreamt that i blew him off one more time and he told me he never wanted to speak to me again, and i felt lost and sad and empty without him.

Snoop Dogg:

Barack Obama makes me feel good to be a black man. Just seeing him up there representin' intelligently and really knowing what he talking about and defending his shit even when they try and shoot at him. The old president and baby girl -- Bill and Hill -- they tried to double-wop on him -- boo bop. But he have enough game to get out of that.
