About Us

One fateful night, Refined Taste and Youthful Abandon got drunk and did the nasty. The condom broke and they made a baby. That's us, and we're The Shit.

The Hot Shit

We, too, once swam over 3,000 miles down the Amazon. Except it was more like the Willamette, for ten miles, and we actually didn't leave the boat. But the delirium thing definitely happened.

So no one besides us remembers that one Travis Morrison song where he sings about whales, but this kind of reminds us of that. Except more hilarious. Good song topics for Rivers Cuomo: lesbians, animals. Bad topics: Beverly Hills, animals.

Word's don't—nay, can't—describe. Apparently Jeezy even ad-libs in interviews.

Gee, this totally doesn't make up for the fact that Paddy still hasn't finished the third volume of his memoirs.

It's definitely about the free booze.

So now he's picking on girls? We are convinced that The Game has become the Hank Kingsley of hip hop.

Martha Stewart is so powerful that she sends Jews to Hell.

UPDATE: We don't know what to believe in this whole Keef matter.

Oh, Keef. What have you come to? Oh wait, you've been this way for over 30 years.

The Best of "The Best of 2006"

We can't really be bothered with compiling any sort of best-of-oh-six missive, scrambling, as we are, to solve our massive design problems (i.e. our complete lack of design). In the meantime, here are some of our favorite best-of lists from around the internets.


  • The year in remixes, starring DFA, Rub 'n' Tug, Erol Alkan, Chicken Lips. [Yer Mam!]
  • The year in beef, by The Shit's East Coast Editor (and scion of a prominent family of Jewish-Texan cattle ranchers), Jacobris Gonnell Cohen. [The Crimson]
  • We can't wait to read Amy Hempel's Collected Stories; we are also looking forward to returning Absurdistan to the library entirely unread. [NYT Book Review]
  • Jason Kottke, internet demigod, gives us the year in links. We very much agree with Kottke's assertion that his list is like the New York Times' famous "year in ideas" list, but more awesome. [Kottke]
  • PODCAST: The NYC hipsterati's most favorite dancefloor discobombs, 2006 Edition!! [Slap you in public!]
  • We never like Pitchfork's best-fifty-albums marathoner - it's way too Pitchforkian for our tastes - but it often serves as a good benchmark for what people were talking about in the past year. The Fork's top-hunnerd-songs shindig, on the other hand, is off-the-chain! [Pitchfork]
