So i’m back from Germany and the Hurricane Festival. It was beyond amazing.
Words can’t express how wonderful it is to be surrounded by so many people who love music (and beer) and who gathered to see so many great bands. I can’t get over how amazing the line-up was.. I think even seeing one of these bands would have been awesome anyway but all of them over the weekend? So many...

The best fucking news I've heard all year.

Paste: In prepping for this interview, I ran across your talk with Consequence of Sound, where you talk about Rilo Kiley being dead—like a “corpse.” Since doing that interview, have you heard from Jenny or anybody else in or related to the band? Also, do you still feel that way—that “waking up the corpse” would be a bad idea? Sennett: I never say never. I loved Rilo Kiley—I loved...

En France, comme suite à un arrêt de la chambre criminelle de la Cour de cassation pris dans une affaire opposant l’entarté Jean-Pierre Chevènement et l’entarteur Noël Godin, la tarte est considérée, en cas d’entartage, comme arme par destination (arme de 6e catégorie).
This basically says that tarts are considered to be weapons (6th category) in France.

I was having a conversation with a good friend of mine about the pros and cons of English desserts/puddings vs French ones earlier. Because yes, that’s what French people do : talk about food and sneer at the English.*
Anyway, i tried to make a case for UK pastry but had to admit defeat eventually. That’s what we’re all missing on, guys :
