» Bunch Of Phonies Mourn J.D. Salinger | The Onion - America's Finest News Source

Part of me wonders if The Onion was banking this article like real news places do with obituaries for famous old people that are probably going to die soon.

“ I feel like my days would be boring without it,” said Francisco Sepulveda, a 14-year-old Bronx eighth grader who uses his smart phone to surf the Web, watch videos, listen to music — and send or receive about 500 texts a day. „

What? I don’t think I’ve sent 500 texts total in my entire life.

Bruce Springsteen - Brilliant Disguise

Tunnel of Love is such an underrated album. Part of that is because coming off of the success of Born in the U.S.A., just about anything is going to be looked at as a disappointment. But like that album, ToL suffers from some extremely of the moment (read: 80s) production. But the songs are still there and they are incredibly strong and moving. “Brilliant Disguise” popped back into my head today because Pitchfork reviewed Camera Obscura’s cover version, but Springsteen’s original is one of my favorite songs of all time. On an album filled with questionable production choices, sonically it is a rare moment of restraint. It is also one of the most vulnerable lyrics I have ever heard.

“ Nowadays, I get paid by technology that didn’t even exist then. I get ringtone royalties now. Apparently what happens is, you get college kids after a couple of rounds of Beer Pong, and they start to bet each other who can remember the most lyrics to an iconic sitcom, and they order it up on ringtones, and I get 11 cents. It doesn’t keep up with the current state of the global economy, but it’s always a pleasant little surprise in the mail. „
