Kasabian is a British band that I really enjoyed a few years ago. Their past two albums haven’t impressed me as much, but I do really like this new song “Underdog.”
Even more impressive is this sweet idea they had to promote the song. They play guitar hero by kicking soccer (football) balls against the wall. Sounds crazy - just watch the video.

Beth and I took a walk over to Wild Flour Bakery, on Spring Street. Every time we do this, I end up taking lots of pictures of peeling paint. How cliched am I?

I’ve realized that I give my audience lots to look at and watch, but very little to read or listen to. I’ll try to be more balanced.
Here’s a great article from the New York Times Magazine. Beth found it first (credit where it’s due), but I’m passing it on to you. Heartbreaking and inspiring.

We picked my great-grandmother’s “new” sewing machine (1976 edition) up from the fixer-upper-place. Beth is loving it.
I really enjoy stop-action animation. And I’m really amazed at the amount of time and attention to detail that it requires. I don’t think I could ever have the patience, but the beauty of the finished product, that feeling of accomplishment, would probably be pretty awesome.
Here’s an older favorite of mine - Fleet Foxes’ video for “White Winter Hymnal:”
And here’s a newer one - The Low Anthem’s “Charlie Darwin:”
(ok, so it’s not letting me embed the video - so take the time to go to the site itself at Stereogum.)
It all gets me really excited for Wes Anderson’s upcoming “Fantastic Mr. Fox”
