This is my Cat Bowie.


 

 Officially his name is David Bowie. I want to name my first daughter Bowie and if she comes along while I still have this cat, I think we will start calling him David to avoid confusion. Is it bad to name your child after your cat who is named after a musician?

Perfume Genius

This band, Perfume Genius, is all I can listen to. My wife put the song Learning on a mix tape for me right after we met but it didn;t stick until this last week. His new album just released a week or so ago and it's kind of incredible. This is my favorite song from it so far.

The rains down in Africa

I don't think I will ever really get bored with videos like this

Donovan

I'm not a huge Donovan fan, not as much as my wife. But Last night we were able to weasle our way into a show he played with only about 250 in a little room. It was pretty awesome.


Also Rodriguez, from the movie Searching for Sugarman, which I bet we will see in theatres very soon, was pretty awesome. His story is pretty much unbelievable.


We also met this awesome lady from Houston who wrote this article about the concert

Kodak declared bankruptcy today. That makes me a little bit sad.

This is how they proselyte in Grantsville, Utah

Never Ending Story

My wife said about this song, "If there was a dance club in the world of the film Never Ending Story, this is the music that would play there."

It seems natural to picture Atreyu dancing alongside The Childlike Empress with Artax's looking in through a window and nodding his head to the beat.

Electrick Children

My friend Rebecca Thomas made a movie
It just got accepted to the Berlin Film Festival.

I think that is kind of a big deal.

Those Were The Days.

I think this is my favorite commercial I have seen in a very very long time.

Apparently this commercial has been banned in Zimbabwe, where they actually have Nandos. I think that was probably expected.

Melancholia

I watched Melancholia this weekend. I'm not ready to talk about it yet, but I re-watched the Prologue on Youtube



It's pretty incredible.

Also, inexplicably this turns up in the related videos. Not sure why but I am glad it was there. A;so, I really need that record player they use at the beginning. NEED.
