…and I thought I was obsessed.
Safe as Houses
The impossible thing came between Pamela and Jamshed after they had spent seven days making love to one another with inexhaustible enthusiasm, infinite tenderness and such freshness of spirit that you’d have thought the procedure had only just been invented. For seven days they remained undressed with the central heating turned high, and pretended to be tropical lovers in some hot bright...

I seriously can’t believe how talented Justin Phillips, one of my dearest friends in the whole world, is.

Strange Mercy
A few weeks ago I found myself with an inordinate amount of new music to listen to. There were new albums from several of my favorite artists like Wilco, Ryan Adams, and Coldplay, as well as new stuff from artists more up-and-coming on my radar, like M83 (only recently got his breakout Dead Cities, Red Seas & Lost Ghosts), Feist, Trinity Grace Church (the church I went to in New York, whose...

Just saw Sea & Air play tonight in Berlin and it was really good.

I was planning on going to Oslo soon for this reason anyway, but this is just ridiculous. I’m looking at flights tonight.

Can men fly?
‘Fly,’ Chamcha shrieked at Gibreel. ‘Start flying, now.’ And added, without knowing its source, the second command: ‘And sing.’
How does newness come into the world? How is it born?
Of what fusions, translations, conjoinings is it made?
How does it survive, extreme and dangerous as it is? What compromises, what deals, what betrayals of its secret nature...
Urbanized
I love Helvetica and generally really like Gary Hustwit’s style of documentary filmmaking. It’s very clean and bright and logical.
Here’s the trailer for his new one about urban design, Urbanized:

At first this review reads a bit harsh, but after making it to the end I realize that Mr. Thompson is really a fan in disguise, wishing that Chris Martin and gang would write something a bit more intelligent, challenging, and provoking so that he would be more justified in liking their music so much. I’m more okay with my Coldplay love, but find his writing really funny and, par for the...

– Why Does Ron Paul Scare You? - Conor Friedersdorf - Politics - The Atlantic
Really interesting thinking. I too am a Ron Paul sympathizer, but I’m also guilty of subconsciously writing him off as a fringe candidate. I could very seriously see myself voting for him, if only because he’s...

Short article about being “creative” for a living. I might try free writing regularly. I think I hold my creativity back a lot by wanting to keep everything structured and in order and that sounds like a way to get through that.
