Windosill
|I’ve posted a bunch of flash-based games before, but Windosill is probably the first one that has truly engaged me. It’s a surreal, atmospheric puzzle game where you have to figure out how to obtain a cube on each level that will unlock the door to the next one. The free online version only let’s you play half of the whole game, but for a mere $3, you can download the whole thing.

Heavy metal and hip-hop are perhaps the most popular forms of rebellion for kids the world over. In Malaysia, metal — particularly black metal — has taken such a strong hold that the Fatwa Council there banned it, fearing that the music would compel listeners to rebel against religion. Contrary to the council’s intentions, black metal is as popular as ever in Malaysia, and is a recognizable cultural touchstone there, as indicated by the above clip from the 2005 film Filem Rock.

Tallest Man on Earth, the rasping Swedish folk singer-songwriter and one of the unsung heroes of 2008, recently recorded the beautiful song A Field of Birds, a nice adjunct to his summer album release, Shallow Grave. His sound is so loose and unmanicured, and carries a poignancy reminiscent of the rusty, early Bob Dylan.
