Very interesting short using reverse motion photography.

While the malaise of the economic turmoil has many ready to jump out of their windows, I found solace farming lobsters in my new holding tank (well, actually my converted hot tub). Although, I have one problem…the cost of ice per pound is greater than lobsters…and I want to keep the little guys comfortable at least until they hit the steam bath. Seriously though, eat more lobster. They are cheap right now.

Since I’ve received three of these vids, thought I’d post one. Over the top…

Just wait until you here this song. Ryan Adams (The Cardinals) meets Rufus Wainwright. Outstanding -

Orange sky don’t go
Manhattan looks like someplace else
Cloudy with a low fog shell

Into the crowded streets I go
Eventually they lead me back home
Where we used to live
I live alone and into bed I go

I wish that I could tell you just how I felt
I don’t pray I shower and say goodnight to myself
And when I close my eyes, I feel like a page
With a crossed out name
With a crossed out name

I kiss her mouth and I know
For everything there is a word
For everything but this
I like the dresses the shoes and the clothes
And everything you know that goes
With loving a girl I suppose

I wish I could tell you just how I’m hurt
Pinpoint the location; it’s in another universe
And when I close my eyes
I see a fire so plain
And my crossed out name
Crossed out names
I see a crossed out name
I see a crossed out name

Some tech difficulties on the first song, but hang with this show. Andrew Bird gets it, and this is amazing.

I’ve had the pleasure to see Bird play live on more than one occasion. He is a looping genius with violin, whistling & guitar.

This band from Philly could have released one of the finest records in 2008. Enjoy the concert.

I love charts. But boy do I not like this chart. This isn’t going to be pretty. What are you suppose to stockpile before a global depression? Whatever it is, I bet Bernanke has a whole bunch of it in his bomb shelter.
