This Week in Awesome (7/16/11)

Last week was just a bit on the crazed side, with some extra stuff going on at work before I left, and the general scrambling to get ready for the trip, so there just wasn't any time to get a TWiA ready before we went away. But now you can all relax. What's that British slogan from World War II? Keep calm and carry on...

Have you ever quit a job and wanted to let your boss know how you really felt? This one's for you. (Consumerist via WIVB-TV Buffalo)

Gag reels are often as funny as the movies they are associated with. As it happens, I have seen all ten of the movies on this list. (Unreality via Videogum)

Hey, check it out, I think NPR kinda likes you. Yeah, it made you a summer playlist. (NPR Music)

You know how there's a new Muppets movie coming out at Thanksgiving? Well, Disney commissioned an album of covers of Muppet-related songs. (Stereogum) Be warned, though: the trailer contains the worst song of all time.

And finally this week, nicely wrapping up the sort-of music theme, do you remember back in the 80s when MTV used to run those "Rock Against Drugs" PSAs? Got some right here. Ah, nostalgia. (FlavorWire via The Awl)
