...acts. Danielson was predictably weird.The Futureheads and Spoon were fine, I guess. The Walkmen were totally irrelevant. Aesop Rock and Mr. Lif were in the wrong place at the wrong time, being rappers and all. Liars were noisy and silly. Art Brut were very British. Ted Leo was rather dull, but he did break his skin on a microphone, so I guess that was cool. Destroyer is not an interesting band.And that was that! It was, overall, a delightful weekend at the old ballpark, and Pitchfork continues to throw the best party of the summer for people who, like...

They meet in a lesbian bar (more L.A. decadence for you), but she turns out to be resolutely heterosexual, very rich and-need we say it?-that most conventional of film noir...
...about? This core tries to provide an introduction to the research methodology and tools of the social sciences. Most of these courses will offer you a watered-down version of a discipline whose department you barely knew existed: linguistics, archaeology, anthropology, public health, et al. Readings can range from dull-as-dust political science graphs to fascinating social theory that will change the way you look at life. Take a cue from uber-popular psychology professor Tal Ben-Shahar and look at this Core from a positive perspective: you get to gab about how society works and, worst case scenario...
