CULTURE BUZZ: The beloved children’s writer and illustrator — of books like Where The Wild Things Are and Chicken Soup With Rice — recently turned 80, and is still as sad, angry, and misanthropic as ever. After undergoing triple-bypass surgery and losing his partner of 50 years, Sendak is a dark and depressing figure who has brilliantly managed to provide generations of adoring children with a legendary canon of fantasy subversively steeped in his own gloomy disposition.

The original Microsoft team recreates a photo snapped in 1978! Didn’t they steal this idea from Ze Frank’s Youngme-Nowme Project ? Microsoft is really, really good at copying creative ideas. ;)

MUSIC BUZZ: Cassette From My Ex gathers stories behind those mix tapes that were given to you by old flames and lets you stream the tapes themselves. This reminds me of the time someone put “I Touch Myself” by the Divinyls on a mixtape for me. TOTAL DEALBREAKER.

MUSIC BUZZ: Daryl Hall (the half of Hall & Oates without the mustache) has a web series on which he invites contemporary pop artists like Gym Class Heroes and KT Tunstall to jam at his in-home studio. Leave your sense of ironic appreciation at the door. This guy proves that rock gods not only exist, but that they can come with a gorgeous head of hair.
