		<title>Lurch the Butler is Nobody&#8217;s Sad-Sack</title>
		<description><![CDATA[From the tippy end of the Very Long Tail comes this morsel of immutable baritone joy, apparently culled from the set of an obscure entertainment programme aired only in Russia in the early 70s. 

The full title is &#8220;Я очень рад, ведь я, наконец, возвращаюсь домой,&#8221; which I believe translates into something like &#8220;A Gleeful [...]]]></description>

		<title>Math Curse: Vijay Iyer on Funk and Fibonacci</title>
		<description><![CDATA[My seven year-old girl loves a book called Math Curse, which begins when a girl’s teacher, Mrs. Fibonacci, notes that “you can think of almost anything as a math problem.” The girl starts seeing crazy patterns and cruel fractions in everything from schedules to snacks.  Later she conquers fear and makes peace with her [...]]]></description>

		<title>J.D. Salinger Phones Home from Paul&#8217;s Boutique</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Since all post-1963 speculation about J.D. Salinger&#8217;s state of existence is more or less a blank slate, save for the occasional lurid detail you wish you didn&#8217;t know, I&#8217;ll share my pet theory that he spent the years since 1989 preoccupied with endless repetitions of the Biblically dense, ridiculous, outrageous and uplifting scavenger hunt that [...]]]></description>

		<title>A Mighty Wind: Neko Case&#8217;s &#8220;Middle Cyclone&#8221;</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Coastal California in January is a setting for unpredictable bursts of melancholy and joy. Scandinavians or Minnesotans would barely recognize &#8220;winter&#8221; here, but we have impossibly thin skins for ours. We have too many sunlit summer teaser days to steel ourselves for the bleakness, and when the big storms hit the Bay Area, you might [...]]]></description>

		<title>Please Remember Victor Jara</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Despite a lifelong obsession with politics and music, I only really learned about Victor Jara because of Professor Joe Strummer.  “Please remember Victor Jara, in the Santiago stadium,” the late, lamented Clash bard quietly intoned in “Washington Bullets,” and I had to find out what he meant.  Jara, the Chilean singer-songwriter and pioneer [...]]]></description>

		<title>Reasons To Be Cheerful</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Since Thanksgiving weekend gives us all the chance to dwell on the huge chasm between the Norman Rockwell expectations and Jackson Pollock realities of our everyday lives, it&#8217;s all too easy to make it an occasion to break out the Schopenhauer and wallow in self-pity.  That&#8217;s what makes it the perfect time to pay [...]]]></description>

		<title>Auto-Tune This!</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Felt a bit less oblivious than usual the other night when I discovered that one of Stuck&#8217;s contributors had never heard of auto-tune, nor had an accompanying Music Head who doesn&#8217;t happen to be a Stuck contributor.  I&#8217;ve been seeing the term &#8220;auto-tune&#8221;  thrown around (mostly derisively) on Twitter for a year or so, [...]]]></description>
