Owls

What is it about Owls that makes us want to put them in pictures that hang on walls and figurines that sit on top of pianos?

One thing's for sure: when you hear them in the late night mountain air, you take notice, listen and wait.

Dear Mr. Presley,

Hi.

Here I am at the old college desk writing you a letter for the first time in my life.

Here I am twenty years old. I have been an "Elvis Presley fan" since my grandfather bought me a copy of Elvis' Golden Records when I was seven. (Since then I have acquired every word you ever recorded, except three.)

You are Elvis Presley. I am Andy Kaufman. One day I shall meet you. I shall shake your hand. I shall say "Hello."

I know you, ya know? I really do know you. I have seen

as yours.) It's just an idea, but if it can't happen, can you arrange for me to just shake your hand and say hello? I mean, I've gone through a heckova lot these past few years, turning people on to you, dragging friends and parties to your movies. I don't even drink, smoke, or curse anymore.

Thanks for everything
(No kiddin', I feel like I'm writin' to Santa Claus or somethin'.)

Sincerely,

Andy G. Kaufman

John Cage - I've Got a Secret

Reading Anu's John Cage blog post reminded me of this old video of John Cage on What's My Line?

John Cage rules. (But the crowd really sees his piece as a comedy skit.)

That Boy Needs Therapy

Oldie but goodie from The Avalanches. Haven't heard much from them lately, but if this is their 4:30 of fame, they haven't done bad at all.

Serge Sings La Javanaise

"Ne vous déplaise en dansant la Javanaise
Nous nous aimions le temps d'une chanson"

Interpretive translation: love is fleeting, mind-boggling. Enjoy it while it lasts.

Super 8 the Vibe: Atlas and Laetitia

I'm sitting in my butterfly chair, eating fondue, watching Super 8 childhood movies. Listening to this.

SoundCloud Customization Improvements

SoundCloud.com keeps getting better n better. Now, you easily customize your audio widgets. Notice how you can also change images at the track level, too.

Check it out and give some of our tunes a listen in the process.

C# or C Natural. Either One of Those.

Thelonious Monk rules. My numero uno musical hero. And I'm not a jazz guy. (Watch me play, you'll believe me.)

I love the part where Charlie Rouse is trying to figure out whether to hit C# or C natural and Monk says: Yeah, either one of those.

I have dreams like this. Thanks.

Black Cherry By Goldfrapp (live)

I've seen Goldfrapp twice and am most partial to Felt Mountain, but love this live version of "Black Cherry" on Later with Jools Holland. They really do sound this good live.

Go See A Serious Man

Michael Stuhlbarg as Larry Gopnik rules. Highly recommended, but don't expect any warm fuzzies: this is 2 hours of Job being tested, through a beautiful 60s haze.

Tend To Your Garden

We are absolutely loving our community garden plot in Crocker Amazon. New redwood beds, close to the playground and dog area. And stuff is growing!

This is urban farming, folks.
