Here’s a sneak peek at Friday’s Flak Radio interview with street fashion bloggers Tyler and Ellen from The Minneapoline, two very cool kids who are pretty much dominating the international street fashion blogosphere. Check it out:

Marko Jarić : Who Knew???
Apparently Timberwolves guard Marko Jarić is hotter than a ticket to Hannah Montana. I know, I know, I’m as shocked as you are! On the one hand, the Serbian’s mostly well known for entering a game with his jersey on backwards. On the other, he’s now dating Victoria’s Secret model Adriana Lima and also ‘got with’ glamour model Jaime Hammer. Thank god we now...

Tom Brokaw on Gather to talk about the 60's
The only Gather author-topic combos that would be less appealing than Brokaw and categorizing the 60s that I can think of would be Andy Rooney and categorizing the 60s. But that’s it. (The Amy Sedaris chat was pretty enjoyable, tho, especially the talk from the chive - Like The Onion, But Smaller.)

NaNoWriMo Update
*sigh* As the month comes to a close, the sun quickly sets on the prospects of me finishing my novel, World’s Happiest Clown. But taking a cue from On the Media’s challenge to write a novel in twelve words or less, here’s the abridged version: Jimmy’s lines all lead to his destiny — BoBo, the world’s funniest clown. Enjoy.

Mark Wheat posted a lil’ background on a section of music he played on The Current that came from DJs based in Paris (Wheat’s favorite kind of DJs). In that spirit, here’s a Monday morning track from a French music blog:

The T-Pups, A Mythic Season
In case you don’t follow or aren’t interested in basketball, let me just give you this quick hoops update: The Minnesota Timberwolves are off to an incredible start. Not incredible good, though. Incredible awful. Our NBA team has started the season 1-10 (only the second time in team history that has happened) and has been losing many games by wide margins. Last night the Wolves...

Holiday Funding Drive: The Final Week!
The fund drive continues! This week is the last week of fund raising, mostly because fund drives annoy those solicited and demoralize those driving. First, thanks to everyone who’s donated, everyone being Rex and Jason, who will be receiving classy hand-written thank you cards sometime in the next few months. And since there’s a long way to go before any fund raising goals are met,...

The order undermined the 1978 Presidential Records Act, which required the release of those records after 12 years. Bush’s order prevented the release of “68,000 pages of confidential communications between President Ronald Reagan and his...
Mischke Podcasts
Seth made a really good point: one of the funniest parts of the Mischke podcast (the program from AM 1500 talk radio host who wins the fan favorite for radio personality, like, every year) is the two seconds of Paul Harvey right at the beginning. Here’s the Halloween show:
