I live in Seattle. These are things that catch my attention, pique my
interest and/or make me want to pass notes in class like a 7th
grader
LMFAO Cover of the Day: After months of rearranging, 18-year-old Noah finally figured out how best to cover LMFAO’s “Sexy & I Know It” — and his rendition has just been named the day’s trending video by NBC’s Today show. You can almost see him blushing as he shares his big news with fans on Facebook and Twitter. Pretty obvious what’s going on here — Noah’s sexy and he doesn’t know it.
Thank you , Noah.
OBAMA: I have to tell you that over the course of several years as I have talked to friends and family and neighbors when I think about members of my own staff who are in incredibly committed monogamous relationships, same-sex relationships, who are raising kids together, when I think about those soldiers or airmen or marines or sailors who are out there fighting on my behalf and yet feel constrained, even now that Don’t Ask Don’t Tell is gone, because they are not able to commit themselves in a marriage, at a certain point I’ve just concluded that for me personally it is important for me to go ahead and affirm that I think same sex couples should be able to get married.
THAT’S MY PRESIDENT!

Thank you, Mr. President. We’ve been waiting for you.

Rest in peace, Mr. Sendak.
Members of the band fun., which is currently enjoying an inescapable hit with their single “We Are Young,” next have their eyes set on creating a marriage equality non-profit, according to a profile in The Washington Post.
Members of the band fun., which is currently enjoying an inescapable hit with their single “We Are Young,” next have their eyes set on creating a marriage equality non-profit, according to a profile in The Washington Post.
The success of the song —it’s hit number 1 on Billboard’s singles charts and been performed on Glee— has been a surprise to the indie pop band, composed of vocalist Nate Ruess, keyboardist Andrew Dost, and guitarist Jack Antonoff. The musicians, all of whom are straight, see the opportunity to use their new platform to bring attention to an issue about which they’re equally passionate —LGBT rights. The three men “hope to establish a nonprofit organization in support of same-sex marriage,”according to the Post.
“We’re firm believers in the idea that if you’re not talking about it, you’re part of the problem,” Antonoff says. “We realize we have an audience, and it would be a real shame to waste it.”
The disrespect to women has got to be through.
To all the mothers and the sisters and the wives and friends –
I want to offer my love and respect to the end."

Beastie Boys - Ch-Check it out
R.I.P. Adam MCA Yauch, will be dearly missed.
We’re getting many reports that Beastie Boys member Adam Yaucht has died of cancer. He was only 47 years old.
We’re currently working on a proper obituary, but, for now, we’re spinning Paul’s Boutique on repeat, and listening a Beastie Boys interview with Fresh Air’s Terry Gross.
