rcjohnso:

Back in 2006 when we shot the Woke Up New music video for the Mountain Goats, I wanted to also make something for my favorite song on the album, “Wild Sage.” So I shot John Darnielle singing the song in front of a black background, turned the footage black and white and high contrast, and printed out every frame of it on 8x10 paper. I then took these stacks of paper to Cape Cod and began to animate them as stills, shooting with my Canon 5D. It took much longer than I thought, and my vacation was over before the video was shot, so I took them back to NYC intending to finish the video there. I never did. So this is all there is.

The printouts somehow ended up in my cousin Nathan’s possession, and seven years later he found them stacked in a box and asked me what these thousands of bizarre photos of John Darnielle’s face were for.

And I said “oh yeah, that thing. I should upload it to Vimeo or something.”

This is pretty great.

Bullish Life: When Men Are Too Emotional To Have A Rational Argument

Bullish Life: When Men Are Too Emotional To Have A Rational Argument:

Oh hey, here’s an article about emotions, feminism and approaches to discourse that don’t involve yelling! And I really like it.

I think it’s because somehow I wound up with a job where I try to explain things to angry people all day. It’s neat to think of those interactions in terms of subtext and gender.

OH MY GOODNESS FINE MIST WAS GREAT TONIGHT.

I have no voice because I was cheering so much.

(They didn’t play this song tonight, which is fine, it’s a deep cut, but it’s my favourite of theirs for some reason, so any excuse to post it, really)

Went to see this guy tonight. He’s one of those singers that’s so endearing live that your face hurts from beaming at him by the end of the night. It’s still breakup music, but at least it’s adorable breakup music.

Jens Lekman has more recent videos that are also very good, but I love this song, so old video with Swedish credits over his face it is!

One of the many silver linings to this whole breakup thing is being in the perfect headspace to dig right into Fiona Apple’s most recent album.

I also really enjoyed hearing her talk about a family of hummingbirds in her back yard on the WTF podcast a while back.

Everyone at work is obsessed with this. Including me.

Would you look at this guy? He’s just standing there playing a glowing guitar and making everyone cry for stray cats.

For his very last song, John K. Samson did an unplugged sing along of Virtute the Cat Explains Her Departure, which was lovely but also THE SADDEST.

“My most prized souvenir is a two-inch-long crystal that looks like kryptonite, which was ejected by Antarctica’s only constantly active volcano, Mt. Erebus. I had been waiting for over six weeks for the weather to clear so that we could get up to the summit and film into the lava lake.”

- -Vanessa Berlowitz, who shot stuff for BBC’s Frozen Planet

Okay but guys did you know that Antarctica has volcanoes?

I’ve been doing a lot of laminating at work lately. My coworker came out with a pretty good pun. Then she stepped it right the heck up and emailed me this poster in the middle of a night shift.

(That’s my face when I was 18)

(We decided that somehow this version would involve me laminating skin or beans).

For some reason, I found myself looking into the fates of my favourite soul singers. Mostly I wound up with a list of strange and sad deaths (Otis Redding, Curtis Mayfield, Marvin Gaye), but it’s nice to know at least that this guy is still doing alright.

I have been watching an upsetting number of costume dramas lately.

Sometimes I feel like the characters can tell.

Doctor Who season 1-6 timeline!:

Seriously just today on the ride home from work I was thinking that I should figure out River Song’s timeline AND THEN THERE IT WAS IN MY RSS FEED.

So glad I live in an era with Internet.
