Here's some stuff guys

I've been listening to Destroyer's new EP Bay of Pigs a whole lot. The title track is unbelievably gorgeous. The song is very long so I'm not going to post it, but here's a video of it.

This is from the the flickr pool. What I Wore Today. Every day, people draw pictures of what they wore. I guess I didn't need to explain it. It's a pretty cool thing I think.

This week on SNL, newcomer Jenny Slate performed in a skit she wrote. This is noteworthy because not only is it hard for new cast members to get sketches on the show but it is actually funny, which isn't the case for a lot of what gets put on that show.
Oh, also Miss Slate accidentally dropped an "f-bomb" during the sketch. Oops. Some people have noticed that.

Also in SNL news, Michaela Watkins is no longer on the show. That is disappointing.

Finally, here's an interesting article on symbolism in logos. It's cooler than I'm letting on.

I Am Still Me

Then Anthony, as if from a shrine, came forth initiated in the mysteries and filled with the Spirit of God. For the first time he was seen outside the fort by those who came to see him. And they, when they saw him, wondered at the sight, for he had the same habit of body as before, and was neither fat, like a man without exercise, nor lean from fasting and striving with the demons, but he was just the same as they had known him before his withdrawal.

Dazzle Ships Dock Forever

Dazzle camouflage did not hide a ship from enemies. Instead, it made it hard for enemies to gauge the speed of the ship as well as where it was heading. The purpose, therefore, was not to conceal but to confuse.I was asked to remove the files for these songs, so they link to YouTube videos of the songs. All are from OMD's album Dazzle Ships.

"We indulged in such luxuries as a baby and a trip to Europe, and always money seemed to come easier and easier with less and less effort, until we felt that with just a little more margin to come and go on, we could begin to save."
