INTO IT OVER IT
Set in prohibition-era A.C., Scorcese's latest masterpiece actually leaves us feeling lucky to have the expensive option of premium cable. Just one minor complaint: less of Steve Buscemi’s pale ass and more Chalky White, please.

Despite our obvious issues with fictional sibling duo Dexter and Debra tying the knot (weird) we can't help but long for the days of Rita and the creepily-portrayed Trinity Killer.
We're not sure if this guy is a genius or a complete nutcase (they said the same thing about Dr. Emmett Brown) but his theory is enthralling nonetheless. A cell phone in 1920? Where are the cell towers? Who is she talking to?! 
He lost credibility when he threatened the perp with "we gon' find you" (they have not, to our knowledge). Nonetheless, 301,536 of you "like" his ridiculousness on Facebook. You are so dumb, you are really dumb. For real.
 
Though some outlaws already tried to deface the glorious new structure, G-Ho residents can finally get to and from the highway without employing questionable tactics, like cutting through the parking garage off of 23rd street.
The Ben Franklin, the Walt Whitman - during the non-summer months, they do nothing but suggest to us that Jersey is closer than we think. Not a good thing.
 
 
Cherpumple
A cherry pie baked inside a white cake, pumpkin pie baked inside a yellow cake and apple pie baked inside a spice cake - all part of one massively delicious super cake. You make many decisions during the week. Dessert need not be one of them.

 

Turducken
Made famous by John Madden, this chicken, inside of a duck, inside a turkey creation sounds kind of like the culinary version of a human centipede.
Create your own mix or check out some pre-made varieties from your fellow indie-loving hipsters.
 
Pandora
Because it works like this.

 
Multi-platform chat clients
You've heard of WUPHF.com - and this is like that, only it's real. Sync your Gchats, iChats, Facebook chats and whatever else it is that you use - into one window. Genius.
 
 
Single-platform chat clients
Not everyone who's on Facebook is on Twitter. Or Gchat. And is anyone still on AIM?
 

Matt Costa
Forget the fact that he's on Jack Johnson's label or that the single from his last album made the 3G commercials. Mobile Chateau is a fun reincarnation of 60's psychedelia in the same vein as early cuts from The Shins.


Mumford & Sons
They didn't F it up this time, they F it up every time. If we hear our local stations play "Little Lion Man" one more time, we're going to go Christian Bale on someone's ass.
