No, no, not this post! Check out this essay by Josh Levin in Slate, explaining how the Jason Kidd trade somehow managed to involve paying $4 million to a player who's already retired, thanks to the once well-intentioned NBA salary cap.
Then settle in to read one of my favorite New Yorker pieces of the past ten years, a profile of A&R man Jason Flom by the masterful John Seabrook, which provided me with a quotation I whip out at least once a month: "Anybody can make a record, but only a major label can make a really expensive record."
If you've read something recently that gave you a peek into a surprising or bewildering world, share it in the comments.
