Weekly Twitter Digest for 2010-01-18

• Say what you want about the guy, but Rahm Emanuel's a natural man. And by that I mean he's nasty, brutish, and short. #
• Never judge an album by its cover. Unless it's post-rock. Then that's pretty much the only way to differentiate 'em. #
• Okay, I get the "as distinct from legend, myth or folklore" bit — but this is still my new favorite Wikipedia category: http://is.gd/6mbZw #
• I suspect that every torts professor has a voice for reciting J. Cardozo. Like tweed and tenure, it's a nice perk of the job. #
• Am I the only one who can't read a Justice Cardozo opinion without hearing it in John Goldberg's voice? @AlSahlstrom @MarkSamburg @CubsMike #
• Go ahead, try to find a song that'll put a bigger smile on your face: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=G6d_de2as3I ***** #
• Poli sci people: is there any reason modern U.S. union leaders *never* run for public office? #
• At small sizes, @thecrimson 's Twitter icon looks like a little red Death Star. #
• Rites of (musical) passage: realizing just how good the Supremes were. Tiptoeing from the Grateful Dead's studio stuff to their live stuff. #
• (He's currently #48 of all 111 Justices to have ever served, and only the fourth longest-serving of the current Nine.) #

• You know what 90s lofi band has aged well? Boyracer. If they'd started in 05, you'd have never heard of Times New Viking. http://is.gd/66eLN #
• Yay, apartment-hunting in Brooklyn. Dorothy charts Craigslist posters' idea of Williamsburg: http://www.verysmallarray.com/?p=945 #
• New Vampire Weekend LP drops a day early from @amazonmp3, and it's only $3.99 (no DRM). Amazon, keep doing these sales! http://bit.ly/79q0mJ #
