Nate Silver discusses being a nerd in gay culture:

For me, I think the most important distinguishing characteristic is that I’m independent-minded. I’m sure that being gay encouraged the independent-mindedness, but that same independent-mindedness makes me a little bit skeptical of parts of gay culture, I suppose.

See? Total boyfriend material for me.

women-in-music:

Dum Dum Girls’ Dee Dee and her husband, Brandon Welchez of Crocodiles, have announced details of a new collaborative project: Haunted Hearts will release their first single, “Something That Feels Bad is Something That Feels Good”/”House of Lords” on February 5, through their own label, Zoo Music. It was recorded at San Diego’s Electric Orange studio, reports Exclaim.

Earlier this summer, Welchez told Coup De Main, “It sounds like a 50/50 split between our bands to be honest. We’re aiming to record an LP this winter, time permitting.”

Dee Dee started Zoo Music in order to release Crocodiles’ debut single. Since then, the San Diego-based label have released music by both its founders’ bands, Dirty Beaches, Reading Rainbow, and more.

As a fan of both the Dum Dum Girls and Crocodiles, I am extremely excited.

Not to mention the single is coming out ON MY BIRTHDAY.

So fucking fierce.
