On The Ways That People Pay Their Bills
@Choire Sicha I feel like you need our assistance. Badly. You don't need to order checks. Have the bank send the check for you.

On The Ways That People Pay Their Bills
I have questions for Choire. Why does Choire pay rent this way? This is not 1982. There are other alternatives that save gas and time.

On Lady Still Willing To Be All, "And What Do You Do?"
Is it typical for DailyMail articles to have so many typos? Good grief.

On Who's Afraid Of Lana Del Rey?
I missed this article the first time around and was brought here by EW's review of last night's SNL episode where Lana Del Rey was the musical guest - and apparently widely panned.
I just watched the Video Game video and I listened to her performance on SNL and I am not sure why the SNL performance was so widely disliked. Her singing was a bit rough last night, but it wasn't THAT much worse than the 'Video Game" video.
I am not sure what I think of authenticity and music - I'm a Generation Xer and grew up with Madonna, Michael Jackson. In the MTV generation, it becomes more obvious that a lot of music is performance. What is Madonna except artifce? Same with Gaga and Beyonce for that matter.
My complaint about Lana isn't lack of authenticity, it's that her music isn't very good. The song "Video Game", while having compelling visuals, is set almost at the wrong tempo. Like it is too melancholy for most of what is shown. It's like Lana is trying to do an Adele and not getting it right. I kind of want to hear what Adele's take on the song would be because I think the song would really shine.
Lana's stage presence on SNL was quite poor and that's the problem. You can't be a mediocre singer without good stage presence.

On Horrible 'Times' Spam Farm Gets What It Deserves
On top of this, NYT has a promotion for some - eight weeks of NYT online for $.99. I think they hope this will turn into paid subscriptions, but I cannot afford $35 a month for NYT online.

On 'News of the World' Shuttered
@TrilbyLane Your point is well taken, but the problem is that the employees have profited off the ill-gotten gains. If they have been running stories using sleazy tactics for 10+ years, then all of their checks were paid with "blood."
