A Small Angry Book About Work

This book is so good, I can't describe it. Because when writing is really good, trying to convey it in my own lame words just diminishes it. So, this book is good. The chapter "The Thing to Do and the Place to Be" has blown a hole in my soul. Period.

Other things that are this good (in their own way):

Kublakai. Old-school throwback hip-hop.

Turn your head while it happens in your back yard
Put your tough face on go on act hard
Tell a story before you know what the facts are
But everybody knows the truth.


The Ting Tings. As some other blog wrote, who doesn't love a song with the chorus "The drums/The drums/The drums/The drums"?

This song. Turn the volume up. Properly position your speakers. The Mae Shi.

It's hard to say, but the new Raconteurs album might be. You can find it if you look for it. Lots of reverb-y goodness. And some trumpets? Let's see if this uber-cool (love the piano player's tat) video persists on Youtube. If it doesn't, you can see it at their Web site.



Oh, and this. As the email forward I got proclaimed: EVERYONE SHOULD SEE THIS.
