Now that last year is but a distant memory, a website calling itself babycenter-dot-com has created a list of the top 100 baby names of 2007. For girls, the top ten names were (in descending order): Olivia, Kaitlyn, Emily, Hailey, Addison, Ava, Madison, Emma, Isabella, Sophia. Those names are all stupid and boring. Although I've dated 1/5th of the names on that list, and Fawn's cat is called Madison, so clearly new parents don't know shit about baby names. For boys, the top ten names were Matthew, Logan, Jack, Jackson, Noah, Caden, Jayden, Jacob, Ethan, Aiden. What is [...]
Are you basically a jazz band? No, I mean we don't really look at it like that. It's more feeling with sounds, playing with sounds. We love jazz music and all of us have a background that involves jazz. We just take normal sounds and freak them out. - Tortoise Interview [ 1 ] . Various postrock albums list.

There is a gift, less rare than is supposed, of wiping the slate clean of memories, and beginning all over again: a certain virginity of soul that makes each new kiss the first kiss, each new love the only love. This gift was Vernon's, and he had cultivated it so earnestly, so delicately, that except in certain moods when he lost his temper, and with it his control of his impulses, he was able to bring even to a conservatory flirtation something of the fresh emotion of a schoolboy in love. ( E. Nesbit , The Incomplete [...]
... I think it has to do with the nature of visual memory. Not only do I remember photographs better than I remember moving images. But what I remember of a movie amounts to an anthology of single shots. I can recall the story, lines of dialogue, the rhythm. But what I remember visually are selected moments that I have, in effect, reduced to stills. It's the same for one's own life. Each memory from one's childhood, or from any period that's not in the immediate past, is like a still photograph rather than a strip of [...]
