Today at Flavorpill when we were supposed to be busy working… we chuckled over this funny listing on myopenbar.com; we bought our tickets to see Patti Smith perform at Bowery Ballroom on New Year’s Eve; we realized that Alaskan wilderness + extreme dudes with bicycles = a really entertaining video; we recorded a Christmas song with Elvis; we poured over Stereogum’s favorite artists’ favorite things in 2008 and chased it with Vulture’s greatest hits of 2008; we couldn’t believe that anybody would take on Oprah; we feverishly tracked Claus; and finally, we decided which dirt-cheap sparkling wines we’ll be drinking on New Year’s Eve.
