Melody Kramer started out at Wait Wait… Don’t Tell Me!, is nowan associate producer at Fresh Air, and still looks young enough to be on The Real World. We don’t know if we’d rather do her or be her. HOT!
The video we have all been waiting for has finally arrived. Drew Barrymore directed Best Coast’s new music video for “Our Deal,” which stars Chloe Moretz, Miranda Cosgrove, Donald Glover, Alia Shawkat, and Tyler Posey as rival street gangs ala West Side Story.
Moretz and Posey play star-crossed lovers with really cool greaser hair-dos. Barrymore stated in a behind the scenes sneak peek that she wanted to make a mini-movie, which she definetely did. It gets a little melo-dramatic towards the end, but when it’s not totally cheese-tastic it’s a fun watch. Check it out below:
Did you think the video was romantic or a bit cheez-e? Who is your favorite up-and-coming star in the vid?

DEAR STACY: Where did Death Cab for Cutie get its name? — Lucas T., San Antonio, Texas DEAR LUCAS: The band picked up its crazy moniker from a 1967 spoof song, done in a faux Elvis Presley-style, that tells the tragic tale of the singer’s gal, “Cutie,” going out for a night on the town against his wishes: Cutie’s riding in a taxi. The taxi crashes. Cutie dies. The song was composed by Vivian Stanshall and Neil Innes and performed by Stanshall and the Bonzo Dog Band. It’s also featured in the Beatles’ “Magical Mystery Tour” movie.

Not everything comes with a pretty bow on top, so give up that fantasy now and come back into reality. No matter how beautifully you can choreograph a story in your mind and want to believe in it, no amount of visualization exercises will bring what you want if what you want requires a miracle.
I wish for the day when I can feel this way about my super job. I want to soar through the workday on flights of fancy.
I did in the form of a brilliant book by a psychologist called Oliver James, called They Fuck You Up. Do you know Philip Larkin? He wrote the poem called, “This Be The Verse.” The first stanza of this poem is:
They fuck you up, your mum and dad.
They may not mean to, but they do.
They fill you with the faults they had
And add some extra, just for you.
You probably knew that, didn’t you? And Oliver James has taken the first line of that poem and written a book about, essentially, what he thinks is the victory of nurture over nature in the genesis and formation of their personality. He talks about twins growing up alongside each other, and various brilliant artists, like D.H. Lawrence and Mozart, who lost one parent early on, which creates a vacuum or a void, sort of spiritual vacuum that needs to be filled which needs to be filled with a huge amount of creative endeavors. And, essentially, he just uses lots of different examples to say who you become really is what happens to you when you’re younger. And that question, with regards to Loki, is fascinating – like his infancy, what happened on Jötunheim, what happens in Asgard, and sprinkle on to that cocktail his intelligence and inclination to mischief and you have one hell of a character.
