Buy Or Don’t Buy

Google must house a fountain of youth in between their ping pong table and scooter rack. My arch enemy Nick sent me the link to a new lab feature on gmail. Why are they so relevant? Why is he so relevant? A new Lab feature (under Gmail Settings) offers Mail Goggles,
When you enable Mail Goggles, [...]

I’d like to get vulnerable for a minute and talk about a good friend of mine. He’s about 6 feet tall and has almost black hair, and is a really cool dude. He writes for this one blog that is like, mad popular. But it’s not just his blog. No. [...]

I’ve recently started reading Stereogum again. I used to and then just got lazy and overwhelmed by the amount of news that can come out of the genre of music.
In a recent article they talk about Jay Reatard visiting the AOL studios. I’ve never heard of him, but they painted him as ‘the next Kurt [...]

Really?  Really?  We’re going to do this again?  Everyone knows what’s going to happen already:  Obama is going to win, the pundits will bust a nut over McCain, and the gap in the polls will grow another 3 points.
Can we just fucking have the election already?  Obama is up in Missouri - does that register [...]

I usually hate birthdays. I think it’s really vain to force yourself (and guilt everyone you know) into celebrating THE arbitrary day that THE MAN says marks the anniversary of your birth. What’s up with that? One year older and closer to death - hey, let’s celebrate that! Usually I say [...]

Both Burr Steers and Noah Baumbach have used Park Slope to define cold, alienating childhoods.
Early scenes from Igby Goes Down (young Ryan Philipe’s hair blinds!) follow Bill Pullman’s xter walking down tree’d streets with his two peacoated sons. The film goes on to Manhattan and DC to illustrate their parents’ two failed routes in raising [...]

I saw this picture on an image board I frequent and it reminded me of the culturally significant website that wants to ban Comic Sans. People are font snobs. I guess I’m a font snob too. I have to admit Comic Sans and Jokerman are both atrocious, but they have their (ironic?) [...]

I’m aware that this is kind of a broad topic.  But I just discovered this on AOL News:
 
HARRISBURG, Pa. (Oct. 4) - Sue Nace thought election volunteers were joking when they told her she would have to remove her T-shirt to vote in the presidential primary last spring.

But it was no laughing matter to the [...]

There has been an onslaught of annoyingly awful music videos. I mean, hell, anyone can make a music video. But for some reason they just get worse and worse.
Like Ratatat’s Shempi:

It is just scary. The morphing faces? Non-synced singing? What? Why? In fact, this will probably give me nightmares. At least there for a few [...]

When Buy Or Don’t Buy first started, some 12 internet years ago (which is about 2 months in IRL time) we wanted to introduce ourselves to the world, and make our friends jealous with a big party.  Time passed.  Our schedules got full.  Hurricanes came and went.  And after 107 articles, we are just now [...]
