Weekend cabin in the redwoods. No electricity, no internet (except this one spot where I found a signal and will be perched all weekend).

Torres – Honey

Discovered via my last.fm recommendations, who, despite being a ghost ship of a website, still manage to give me better new music suggestions than any other service.

While doing some very important research into the apparently non-existant homemade lunar rover scene, I found this photo. I would easily pay $1,000 to drive this rover around a field in New Mexico – someone make this happen!

Sally Gall – Breakthrough
Artsy is growing on me. Sally Gall just showed up in my feed on there after I spent a few minutes over the last few weeks liking and following artists I already loved.
Now they should make it a lot easier to share things to Tumblr.

If you combine Songs:Ohia and Magnolia Electric Co., that puts Molina at 2,679 plays and well ahead of Jens Lekman for the top spot on my last.fm charts. Which I guess helps explain why I’m taking the news today even harder than I thought I would.

Jason Molina’s music got me through my dark times, it’s tragic he couldn’t make it through himself.

RIP Jason Molina

Errata (by Alexander Stewart)

Errata (16mm, 2005) is an experimental film in which I used a photocopier to generate frames of animation. Each frame of the film is a photocopy of the previous frame. Both black & white and color photocopies were used to make this film, approximately 4,600 copies total.

Harry Weathersby Stamps, ladies’ man, foodie, natty dresser, and accomplished traveler, died on Saturday, March 9, 2013.

Oh that we all could have an obituary like Harry Stamps’

He had a life-long love affair with deviled eggs, Lane cakes, boiled peanuts, Vienna [Vi-e-na] sausages on saltines, his homemade canned fig preserves, pork chops, turnip greens, and buttermilk served in martini glasses garnished with cornbread…

Josef Albers - Multiplex B
This image prompted a string of frustrated tweets from me. It’s 2013 and there still isn’t a great resource online to find information about specific pieces of artwork. I mean, Josef Albers isn’t exactly an unknown starving artist relegated to the dustbin of history, you know? Someone please tell me the backstory of this woodcut and every other piece of great art I see online!
