The Daily Sabbatical

Think Tonk posts an excellent clip. John Woo, Wes Anderson and Kevin Smith direct McCain ads. Excellent.

Thanks to Andrew Sullivan’s Daily Dish.

This is for Pedro and Ana.

This song and this video are the complete shit. Check out the rollerskating! Right on! Thanks to DJ ZOO for exposing me to this one!

This is almost unbelievable.

With two excellent albums under his belt, hopes are high for Chad VanGaalen’s third, Soft Airplane. Judging from this video, illustrated by CVG, these tunes will once again come from Grimm lands. Good stuff.

Since this album came out in March, and the web is packed with thoughtful reviews about these guys, I won’t bother. Let me just say this is one of the best albums of the year. This song has Cure-ish moments, but don’t let that fool you. It’s all about the rhythms. Thanks to Eric Greenwood for making me notice these guys.

If this doesn’t make you happy, you’ve got issues.
