Did You Live Through This Week, Y/N?

by Choire Sicha August 5, 2011

If you’ll excuse me now, I’ll have my face buried in 105 minutes of CGI apes and James Franco. Hello air conditioning, goodbye cognition. When you come back inside this weekend, some things to enjoy:

• A guide to creepy islands, from Carcass to Mafia to our favorite: Funk Island!

• New baby or new house: which has more awesome gear?

• John Flansburgh and Jonathan Coulton talk about their feelings.

• We can help you understand the debt ceiling, sorta!

• Hüsker Dü, 1983 to 1987, in order.
