Duke

• If the NYT’s Ivy Plus story wasn’t enough for you, Daily Intel weighed in on the absurdity I cannot wait to attend. Their conclusion on plus-member Duke? “Love those kids from Duke. Not too bright, but so entertaining. Like little fun monkeys.”

Durham

• BCR reports that Guglhupf will be offering its excellent “upscale comfort food with a German twist” at dinner starting Tuesday.
• The Durham blog also reports that a new bar/nightclub called The Republic is rumored to be coming to downtown Durham’s Five Points area.

Less local

• Jacob Ganz wrote a great post for the All Songs Considered blog about Pitchfork’s list of the top albums of the naughts. It’s one of the more thoughtful pieces about the ever irksome if not controversial music “taste maker,” highlighting the evolution of the Web site’s tastes.
