Augie March – “Heartbeat and Sails”
Sunset Studies
Augie March’s Sunset Studies is a far cry from the masterpiece that is Strange Bird, but it’s got some fantastic tracks on it. This isn’t really representative of them, but it’s a great song – I love the metronomic beat of the banjo.
WWI bombers.
Great video of Tiananmen Square on the Chinese National Day (I think) – shot on a 7D and a 5D mk II.
There is danger for him who taketh the tiger cub, and danger also for whoso snatches a delusion from a woman.
More Fontanesi. God, the man could paint.
Astonishing… very beautiful, and unmistakeably dolphinous.
Handheld Genesis! Only 20 games on it, and they’re not all gold by any stretch of the imagination, but it’s awesome nonetheless.
Blood On The Wall – “Lightning Song”
Liferz
Loved this song as soon as I heard it. Blood On The Wall are hit-or-miss, but they can hit pretty hard, particularly when the lady is singing instead of the guy. I love that “Lightning Song” is exactly the length and depth it wants to be – it’s just a perfectly crafted song.
Health care lobbyists spending millions on those closest to legislation
“The industry and interest groups have spent $380m (£238m) in recent months influencing healthcare legislation through lobbying, advertising and in direct political contributions to members of Congress. The largest contribution, totalling close to $1.5m, has gone to the chairman of the senate committee drafting the new law.”
This is making me sick.
Sign on my street last night.
