Blurred Line

I don't actually want this, but still, how cool would it be to have a t-shirt that plays sound effects/music at certain times in your life? You know, like some techno with a heavy beat when you're engaged in slow-motion hand-to-hand combat with various baddies, a la The Matrix, or maybe a little sexy R&B for when you're romancing the ladies, or some Billy Squier when you feel the uncontrollable urge to jazzercise (I'm not the only one who gets uncontrollable urges to jazzercise, am I?).

On the Radio Blog: I've just put up "Love You Much Better" by The Hush Sound, which is one of the most infectiously cheery songs I've heard in some time. Seriously, it's hard not to dance a little bit in my office chair...so long as you can get past the fact that the band was discovered and championed by Pete Wentz of Fall Out Boy (a.k.a. the man responsible for 50% of Ashlee Simpson's baby). Don't worry though, I don't think that they even seem to be on the same musical planet as Fall Out Boy. Recommended for people who like dancing, simple drum beats, backing pianos, girls who can sing and for anyone who wants to know what Pete Wentz listens to (and let's face it, we've all wondered at some point or another).

Keyword of the day: A weak field today, but I'll go with "bad short stories". This isn't actually a short story, but writer J.A. Konrath writes a couple paragraphs worth of terrible fiction that contain all the worst things he sees in stories. Entertaining and educational.
