What do you get when you combine someone from Queens of the Stone Age, someone from Nirvana/ Foo Fighters and someone from Led FREAKING Zeppelin? You get The Crooked Vultures:
In a 2005 interview with Mojo magazine, Grohl confirmed the roles would be the most logical ones: “The next project that I’m trying to initiate involves me on drums, Josh Homme on guitar, and John Paul Jones playing bass. That’s the next album. That wouldn’t suck.” So the only question remaining is who would be singing. Speculation runs rampant, but nothing has been confirmed yet.
I discovered two trailers today I'm excited for. One for the new Coen Bros movie, A Serious Man. And one for the new Wes Anderson movie, The Fantastic Mr. Fox. Both look like they need watching in a theater with popcorn.
If you read Michael Lewis' latest Bloomberg column, Bashing Goldman Sachs Is Simply a Game for Fools, quickly, you might think it's a brutal take down of the newest Wall St muckraker (Taibbi) by the grand marshal of Wall St muckraking (Lewis). Fortunately or unfortunately, depending on how you look at it, this column seems to be satire. I can't decide which I'd prefer to see, a Lewis/Taibbi Tag Team, or a knockdown drag out between the them. In any case, a good read.
America stands at a crossroads, and Goldman Sachs now owns both of them. In choosing which road to take, ordinary Americans must not be distracted by unproductive resentment toward the toll-takers. To that end we at Goldman Sachs would like to dispel several false and insidious rumors.

In a previous Unlikely Words post, we inadvertently implied that the Times publishes articles in which "All the dates and facts are wrong." In actuality, some articles only have mostly incorrect facts and dates. Unlikely Words regrets this error.

Proof from the New York Times that you too can be a journalist even if you don't want to use the correct dates or facts in an article. In fact you can use any date or fact you want as long as it's sort of close to the actual date or fact. This is OK even if ALL the dates and facts are wrong. This proof comes in the form of a correction of an Alessandra Stanley piece.
An appraisal on Saturday about Walter Cronkite’s career included a number of errors. In some copies, it misstated the date that the Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. was killed and referred incorrectly to Mr. Cronkite’s coverage of D-Day. Dr. King was killed on April 4, 1968, not April 30. Mr. Cronkite covered the D-Day landing from a warplane; he did not storm the beaches. In addition, Neil Armstrong set foot on the moon on July 20, 1969, not July 26. “The CBS Evening News” overtook “The Huntley-Brinkley Report” on NBC in the ratings during the 1967-68 television season, not after Chet Huntley retired in 1970. A communications satellite used to relay correspondents’ reports from around the world was Telstar, not Telestar. Howard K. Smith was not one of the CBS correspondents Mr. Cronkite would turn to for reports from the field after he became anchor of “The CBS Evening News” in 1962; he left CBS before Mr. Cronkite was the anchor.
According to Facebook, Blake Schwarzenbach from Thorns of Life, Jets to Brazil, and Jawbreaker will be writing at Huffington Post starting "Monday, July 25". Seeing as how today is the 25th and Monday is the 27th, it's not clear if this is a joke, but I'll definitely be looking for totalaccord@huffingtonpost.com on Monday. I'll post something on the article if it happens. Still no word on the album that was rumored to be releasing on June 30th.
In the Esquire article about Roger Ebert a few weeks back, Ebert mentioned his interview interview with Lee Marvin as one of his favorites, and now they've republished it online.
