  The Arcade Fire just released a new video for their song We Used to Wait.  The video was written and directed by Chris Milk in conjunction with a team at Google using the new HTML 5 web standard – which is worth noting because all of the interactive elements of the video are displayed without [...]

  08.25.10 | Permalink | Comment?

  Although the Glico Morinaga Case involves a kidnapping, some extortion, a bit of (humorous/not intended to hurt people) poisoning and lots of mass hysteria – which are all less-than-morally-righteous things to do – the case stands as an example of the influence that a single person (or a small group) can have on a large [...]

  It’s funny just how boring the internet becomes when you can’t watch videos/download music/stream anything.  I’m stuck tethering through my cell phone until Friday when Comcast will finally come and plug me into the real deal.  Since I haven’t been able to view all of the above, I’ve been reading a bunch of random articles. + Who [...]

  Dawn by Mount Eerie & other stuff

  + Mount Eerie – Dawn Download: Mount Eerie – Dawn This is one of those albums that I have to be in a particular mood to listen to.  Somber may be the right word.  Not particularly unhappy but just kind of meh.  This is an album that focuses on the overall mood of the record instead of [...]

  I came across a blog/zine called Linebreaker which “…examines the writers that shape punk and hardcore, and gives them a voice to explain the meanings behind the lyrics we sing along to.”  So here’s a couple interviews I found interesting. +  Defeater‘s lyricist/singer Derek Paul Archambault discusses war and the influence it had on his writing on [...]

  It’s nice to be back home.  Yesterday was the last day of the Pianos tour.  I feel like we accomplished a lot this summer and I’m excited for what’s to come this year. I’m typing this while hanging out in my air conditioned apartment, laying in a bed with clean sheets and resting my head [...]

  I’m in Oklahoma City right now hanging out at our friend Leon’s apartment who we met earlier at tonight’s show. Aside from a few minor van troubles, tour has been going well.  We only have 8 days left.  It’s weird looking back on some of the earlier shows of tour and realizing that they weren’t [...]
