In Which I Review a Recently Released Album
Released December 2010, Harvard’s second EP revisits material from last year’s The Inevitable and I. There isn’t always a one-to-one correlation between these songs and the ones they reinterpret – The Earth Our Eyes Could See, for example, draws on both What We Had and The Earth.

— Discuss? (via melissa)
“Postpersonal,” in the language of this article, means “professional.” It means speaking for a cause, a concept or a company in a voice that is not your own but somehow belongs to it…whatever it may be.

1. Regis slapping Nicki Minaj’s ass isn’t funny. It’s degrading, dehumanizing, and just all-around reprehensible.
2. It’s easy for spectators to comment, “Why didn’t she say anything? I would have!” The fact of the matter is, however, you were not there…
