Song obsession of the week:

“Tin Man” by Future Islands
“Baby Says” by The Kills
“Ballad of Spider John” by Willis Alan Ramsey

Cool video/short film. Riffin on the advent of science and the spectacle of space I suppose…technology…I am guessing. Set to a click-clack drum beat steady and melodic organ laid on like thick electric jelly.

Mark told us about this film last night after our soccer game. Looks like a great, intense movie.

And it’s a climbing movie as a heads up…Filmed by Corey Richards, one of a three-person team comprised of Richards, Simone Moro, and Denis Urubko on their ascent of Gasherbrum II (summited February 2, 2011). Directed and well-edited by Anson Fogel. Rock and Ice says, “a winter ascent of an 8000-meter peak has never been completed in the Karakorum.”

Wonderful, ‘micro-documentary’ about typography from PBS.

The photos are up! At least some of them. Stories will either have to wait or be told. Time for bed.
