This is not particularly new, but it’s still one of the most exciting things I’ve ever seen, so it feels new. The song and video are so perfect. Pure gold.

An exceptionally talented photographer and musician, I was lucky enough to have Darren Sylvester take the photograph used for my record cover. His album is incredible. He is touring the US this month, too.

Jonny Telafone is one of my favourites at the moment. There are other songs I like more, but I figured I’d post this as its one of his more arresting numbers. A brilliant mind.

I like this video and song a lot. I love the way snow looks on camera. I wonder if it would look so good in real life.

An internet classic. I will always love this site. The best ones are the 13 year old kids with peacock blue hair dye who pose in front of the fireplace when their parents are on date night. I’m usually quite generous with my ratings. Read more
Infinite Comic takes random Flickr images and pairs them with random Twitter tweets to create a comic. Users can type in search terms to look for related images and tweets for a more custom comic, but the results are still absurd and amusingly non-sensical.
According to B.R. Meyers over at The Atlantic, there is a scourge of foodies looming over America. Foodies are bad because they fly to Vietnam for pho. All of them do, which is evil. But even if they stopped doing that, Meyers would still be mad because he hates that people enjoy food at all. Anthony Bourdain is the devil for encouraging people to love cooking, Michael Pollan is evil for making the elitist claim that fast food is bad for us. Read more

There’s a world-weariness about Two Gallants frontman Adam Stephens. It reveals itself in the Tom Waits-like raspiness that permeates his gin house drawl and in the talkin’ blues narratives that he weaves around his simple acoustic fingerpicking. They are the new superstars of the West Coast scene, majestic showmen in homespun rags.
