Of all the cards in the deck, this one looks like it was taken off the wall of a cheesy tattoo parlor. It is quite literally the card of heartbreak, rupture, and betrayal. The Three of Swords represents the type of raw emotional pain that causes you retreat to a dark room with Cure records. I would tell you to brace yourself for an unexpected blow, but it is impossible to prepare for the searing agony of treason. Pull Three Swords out of your back and tend to the wounds before they scar.
Put that Kanye record down; it is time for some fresh music. Adele’s new album 21 drops in the U.S. on the 22nd, and it is fantastic. Adele serves her unapologetically powerful voice while nimbly tiptoeing through her range. Her sound is as nurturing as a warm blanket on a winter’s day.
The first single, a deliciously bluesy stomper Rolling in the Deep, might have already made it to you – a little bit Supremes, a little bit Heart, a little bit KT Tunstall. Paired with Rumours, the strong tracks kick-start a thoroughly enjoyable collection.
The piano on Turning Tables nestles into that tender place that will have you hitting repeat. My unorthodox pick for best song on the record is the sixth track, He Won’t Go. Adele’s lyrical timing and big chorus make this quirky tune particularly memorable.
Since she was born in 1988, I’ll excuse the cover of Lovesong, but bitches please stop with The Cure covers. We all love The Cure, but exercise some fucking self-restraint. The Cure are not The Beatles, you dig?
Summertime brings on an itch for the amusement park, rather than actually interact with children, visit Adventureland. No movie better encapsulates the airbrushed corn dog nostalgia of the local crappy fun park of your childhood.
Obviously, I’m obsessed with Martin Starr, so as a selling point let’s start with him. He somehow manages to slip a Gogol reference into every role he plays. Where Martin Starr goes, I follow. Unlike those God-awful Twilight movies, Stewart doesn’t make me want to gouge my eyes out in her performance as Em. 
In addition to the stellar cast, this movie has an excellent soundtrack including The Cure, Crowded House, and The Velvet Underground.
