Henry: No. It moves me, the way people are supposed to be moved by real music. I was taken once to Covent Garden to hear a woman called Callas in sort of foreign musical with no dancing which people were donating kidneys to get tickets for. The idea was that I would be cured of my strange disability. As though the place were a kind of Lourdes for the musically disadvantaged. My illness at the time took the form of believing that the Righteous Brothers' recording of "You've Lost that Lovin' Feelin'" on the London label was possibly the most haunting, the most deeply moving noise ever produced by the human spirit, and this female vocalist person was going to set me right.
Max: No good?
Henry: Not even close. That woman would have had a job getting into the top thirty if she were hyped.

Quick thoughts:
I’m a big fan of The Hairpin, which Zimmerman runs, and in particular a big fan of the unashamedly girly sensibility that I think some unnamed Internet people might be calling “sexist” or “anti-feminist.” It’s okay to flirt at parties, guys! It’s okay to have crushes, guys! These are all very real parts of being a...

Today I listened to an album.
Something is happening with me and music where I don’t want to listen to anything I haven’t already heard. I just want to sit and marinate in my horribly overplayed high school music. And I will forever sing the praises of the music from my teen years, because whatever the artists were churning out at the moment I decided to become rebellious, well, that must be where the real shit...

Virginia: I'm a checkout girl. At the local grocery store.
Lane: You're not.
Virginia: I am. I had my first day. I liked it. I liked using the cash register. I liked watching the vegetables go by on the conveyor belt. Purple, orange, red, green, yellow. My colleagues were nice. They didn't care if I went to Bryn Mawr. There was fellow feeling among the workers. Solidarity. And I liked it.
Lane: Wow.

p.s. Captcha stands for Completely Automated Public Turing test to tell Computers and Humans Apart (it’s not a bastardization of “capture,” like I had suspected). Capttttcha?
