Toilets, Toilets, Toilets!

Annie Hall

If you have never seen this movie - you really should.

Great article in the Atlantic about Rowan Williams.

Yes.

Picchio Dal Pozzo

Campbell turned me on to these guys. Amazing.

andrew bird - lull (daytrotter version)

Weird squid video from the Andrew Bird concert in Millenium park this summer. Good times.

Devastation - The Besnard Lakes

I listened to this album all last winter and am still waiting for them to go on tour again. This video is surprisingly Guernicaesque.

Captivator

Looks like some things are happening over at the King Wilkie website.

JULIE DOIRON - Heavy Snow

Look who has a new album coming out next month. It is supposed to be less melancholic and more 'rocking' than previous work.

Ready For The Floor - Official Video

Do it now!

Is Socially Responsible investing a good idea?

Link.

Phil Rizk is a Wheaton College Alumnus and close friend of many of my friends here in Chicago.

In the News.

Hosting

As a rather frequent host of parties as of late I've come to appreciate good guests. Here is a list of things I like:

1.) Someone from the suburbs comes into the city for your party
2.) Friends of friends show up 'cause it's the place to be (and they have a ball)
3.) People dress up for the party - really there's nothing like someone coming to the door in a suit or dress
4.) Someone flies in from out of town for the party (ha! don't think it hasn't happened)
5.) Dancing, dancing, and more dancing
6.) Good food
7.) Any party that ends with a trip to the Russian Bath House (no this is not a euphemism)

This piece of music is amazing.

By far the best studying album since ( ).

I only want a proper house...

John Campbell has pointed out, rightly so, that this is a song for people in their mid-twenties.

Animal Collective - My Girls

Yelle - Tristesse Joie

YELLE

Horray for happy music! I saw her in Logan Square this past fall.

I am also a fan of this one.

MGMT

This song makes for good dancing at high decibels.
