Lykke Li’s Sadness Is A Blessing
April 28, 2011 – 9:37 amMy favorite new song of 2011 has a video (and it co-stars one of my three favorite contemporary Scandinavian actors, Stellan Skarsgård). It’s really well done: The whole terrific album on which this song appears can be found here. Your Thoughts?
Kanye West “Monster” Muppet Remix
April 21, 2011 – 10:42 pmI’ve been listening to Kanye West’s “Monster” pretty obsessively for the last couple months, but just watched the song’s listless official video for the first time and found it really disappointing. Then I discovered this perfect visualization of the song: The only thing downside of the video is they do not include Nicki Minaj’s full, [...]

February 21, 2011 – 11:00 pmIn case you don’t know what Sara Quin’s twin sister Tegan looks like, here’s a heads up: that’s not her with Sara in the video below, Sara is branching out: Your Thoughts?
The Saga Of Biorn
February 21, 2011 – 10:51 amJust last night a friend lamented that when it came to religion he wanted to raise his daughter Norse, but there were no good resources for kids. If only he had seen this (or, at least seen only its first 5 minutes and 30 seconds): Seriously though, Nietzsche would love this cartoon. Your Thoughts?

Kansas vs. Darwin
February 12, 2011 – 10:41 pmFrom today through March 12, you can screen Kansas vs. Darwin. Description of the film: Even before they took place, the 2005 Kansas school board hearings on evolution were recognized as a pivotal battle in America’s ongoing war over teaching evolution in the public schools.

“Who Could Heed The Words Of Charlie Darwin?”
February 12, 2011 – 8:00 pmThe Low Anthem’s sublime song and beautiful video for their song “Charlie Darwin”: I had the pleasure of seeing the Low Anthem a month ago at the Jazz Center at Lincoln Center.

February 10, 2011 – 12:23 amLawrence O’Donnell has become insufferable ever since he started subbing for Keith Olbermann last year and is getting worse nightly since taking over the 8pm slot full time. Below is an mesmerizingly awful display as O’Donnell makes even an apology into an occasion for massive quantities of bluster and verbosity and all around blowharding: Visit [...]
Cat Faber’s “The Words Of God”
February 6, 2011 – 6:55 pmThis is another, meditative Sunday afternoon song, each of I’ve lifted from either this post or its comments section). This one though is not satirical and should be genuinely amenable to the more sophisticated theist (or pantheist or other believer in a philosopher’s god of some sort), who wants more God in her view of [...]
