This American Life – Live! Our pal Dave Hill will be performing with everyone’s favorite smart guy Ira Glass on April 23rd.

Ira Glass will host an actual episode of the radio program, performed onstage by some of our favorite contributors. Dan Savage, Starlee Kine, and Mike Birbiglia will tell stories. David Rakoff and Dave Hill will conduct a ‘special investigation.’ Plus a new cartoon by Chris Ware, additional visuals by Arthur Jones, and a very special appearance by Joss Whedon, creator of Buffy the Vampire Slayer! The performance will last around two hours. We’re going to capture the whole thing with a bunch of HD cameras, and send it live* to movie theatres all over the country.

Bob Mould is Sad Again: “Ripped Out And Displayed, The Heart Of A Heart.” Sad stuff, but it makes for great music. Check out tracks from his latest  CD “Life and Times” he recorded for his Daytrotter session (Free downloads!). Sparse, acoustic brilliance. Bob is Philly: April 03, 2009, Philadelphia, PA @ North Star Bar. TIX here.

Louis C.K. USO Blog: Riveting words from a very funny man and an impressive photographer. He uses a Leica MP 35mm Rangefinder film camera. Nice.

The Big Picture Rarely Disappoints: Signs of Spring

Sehr Gut: German retro-futuristic group-dancing

Highly Recommended: Oh Canada! Sloan rocks.  I’ve been hearing about these power-pop lovin’ fellas for a long time but I never followed up and took a good listen until I heard them played twice on the Best Show on WFMU.  Thanks @scharpling for the enlightenment. Here’s a good start: “A Sides Win : Singles 1992-2005″

Nice Bit of Music: Iron Maiden’s  “Run to The Hills”  in 8-bit (via geekadelphia)

“King of Kong” Redux: Gaming champion Steve Wiebe will try to reclaim the Donkey Kong record on June 2.  (via popcandy)

Shush Shepard Shush: I think the more Shepard Fairey talks, the more he hurts his case.

TV Guideless: That unwatchable channel, made a little less unwatchable.

Gloom and Doom Break: Dog Makes Friends With Duck (via @waltpsu):

Currently Digging Hard: I cannot stop playing “Human(e) Meat” by the  Propagandhi (the entire album “Supporting Caste” is outstanding, might be their best yet). I sincerely well up when listening, the heartless slaughter and manufacturing of animals boggles my mind and boils my blood. Sorry, I try not to preach, but good lord…
