Call for Papers: Return to the 36 Chambers: Enter The Wu-Tang, 20 Years Later

Monday, May 6, 2013
It was at the 2011 New Yorker Festival that Mitchell Hurwitz, creator of Arrested Development, announced that the much- beloved but all too short-lived comedy show would be making a return.

He was there with everyone from the main cast for a special Bluth family reunion/panel discussion. In preparation for the new season, which premieres in its entirety on Netflix later this month, The New Yorker recently posted full video of the event on its website. If you have an hour and a half to spare, do watch it. Hurwitz and the cast (along with Ron Howard, who continues his role as a disembodied voice) discuss the process of making the show, their favorite moments, influences, and why Tobias’ mustache created a touch-and-go situation. They conclude by once again demonstrating that few members of the House of Bluth have ever seen a chicken.

She likes 'wife'. I do, too.

This is a charming clip of two accomplished women who have been together almost as long as my wife and I have. Yet still they debate introducing one another as ‘life partner’ or ‘wife’.


I like ‘wife’. My (not federally or state-recognized—and thus we are forced to declare ‘single’ on our tax forms) wife likes ‘wife’, too.

The incomparable Gogol Bordello returns this summer with a new album and we couldn't be happier. 'Pura Vida Conspiracy' releases 23 July via ATO Records/Casa Gogol Records.

The band has made one of the 12 new tunes available over on their Soundcloud. Listen here. From the sound of this new song, it sounds like Gogol Bordello will have no trouble matching the greatness of 2010’s Trans-Continental Hustle.


“For me music is a way to explore human potential,” frontman Eugene Hütz says. “And that’s my main interest in life—human potential. Everyone knows there’s something inside of us that we’re not using. How do we get it? How do we reach it? Every single person knows that there’s something and nobody knows what it is. So at one point I said to myself, I’m gonna get down and get it.”
