might take a lifetime to wrap my head (and heart) around.

"there is no expectation that people can enjoy, engage, or value something directly, especially art, religion, politics— the expectation is that we need an intermediary, an “expert”, someone who really understands these things. T-Mobile is offering you the chance not to experience art more directly— which they know is impossible and anyway not that important to anyone— but to become that intermediary, to derive identity from that role.”

My mom is from a cattle ranch in western Nebraska. It’s 2 hours from a gas station and 35 miles of dirt road until you get to the highway that takes you to the gas station. She road her horse to a one-room schoolhouse until highschool when her mom moved to a town 4 hours away.
My dad is from Brooklyn. All over New York really, he grew up during the Great Depression so they moved often. He wore a suit pretty much every day and even on the ranch where he carefully stepped around the cow pies even though they had all frozen.
Growing up I felt like the representative. The New Jersey cowgirl or the Nebraskan urbanite.
Even though I don’t really get to go back to Nebraska anymore, I still cringe when Cantabrigians scoff at the fly over states. This talk is long but she really gets across reconciling the dissonance that comes when you spend enough time on the other side.

prototype for bjork’s “mutual core” video.
I love seeing what a cheap prototype looks like for different mediums.

How wonderful, to use electronics in music without having to look at a computer screen.

Really neat. I use the program that inspired him to make his own (transcribe) all the time.

Loove of the harmonies that start at 2:36. Really funky. Took that movie ending to the next level.
Also Lulu is basically Holly Golightly, or rather the other way around.

Will’s howto-close-the-amtrak-luggage-bin-correctly video.
I should moonlight as a hand-model. Seems less exploitative.

Goddard explains some of his process behind Une Femme Est Une Femme and likens the actors’ improvisation style to that of classical Indian musicians. Ha!

What do you do with the mad that you feel,
when you feel so mad you could bite?
When the whole wide world seems oh so wrong
and nothing you do seems very right.
What do you do?
Do you punch a bag?
Do you pound some clay or some dough?
Do you round up friends for a game of tag or see how fast you go?
It’s great to be able to stop
when you’ve planned the thing that’s wrong
and be able to do something else instead
and think this song.
i can stop when i want to
can stop when i wish
can stop stop stop
anytime
and what a good feeling to feel like this
and know that the feeling is really mine
know that there’s something deep inside
that helps us become what we can.
For a girl can be someday a lady
and a boy can be someday a man.
