The Daily Sabbatical

If I Had A Heart from Fever Ray on Vimeo.

This scares me.

Simply one of the best Christmas songs–hell, one of the best songs–ever written.

No comment on the song…but very cool video!

I’m pretty sure Debbie Harry is the first woman who made me feel “funny”. I saw this video the other day and it all came back to me…

Great video from Pioulard’s excellent new(ish) album, Temper. A really excellent followup to his 2006 precis.

Lanie and I bought and lit our tree today.  If only we’d had this 7″ by Low to decorate by.  One of my favorite bands puts the oh-shit back in Christmas.

Just got this video forwarded from my friend and economic badger Saltuk Ozerturk.  Peter Schiff, against laughter and ridicule, correctly analyzes our economic plight and for the right reasons–two years ago. It’s a lesson, I think, in sticking with the fundamentals and not being cowed by mockery when you know what you are saying.  Makes Fox News once again look awful.

Marnie Stern, who’s just a little bit awesome, riffs on Rocky.
