I hadn't been on The Sartorialist for time till today, always makes me equal parts optimistic/envious.
Tell No One is the blog of film makers Luke Wright and Remi Weeks, has these sweet ass tests on there.
The Perfume Genius album is great. It's a guy from Seattle called Mike Hadreas with a bleak sounding piano, a bit of a past, and a gift for melody. The album is out on Matador which speaks volumes. Luckily for us it's on Spotify and the whole thing is on Myspace . Learning - Perfume Genius
WU LYF keep coming up with the goods orally and visually.
I think Polly should be given her own show or a spot on Newsnight, maybe it's just because I tend to agree with her politically but she does seem to ask the right questions.
This is 60 minutes with the author of The Big Short, don't watch it if you plan on reading the book, but otherwise it's quite interesting I would have thought.
The film that surprisingly beat A Prophet and The White Ribbon to the Best Forgien Film Oscar is out soon, just wanted to say it's bloody brilliant, give it a watch, a bit over long but pretty much worth an Oscar.
While we're talking about the financial crisis, Michael Lewis' book The Big Short is bloody amazing, Ira Glass recommended it in this interview and he was right. It's basically about people who saw the financial crisis happening well before it did, it explains the whole thing brilliantly and contains unbelievable knowledge about who and what was involved. It's a great book about this shit for cretins like me. This is him talking.
This is likely to be the best youtube clip you will ever see. It's a speech by Marxist scholar David Harvey about the financial crisis, already quite funny and very interesting, but with the animation it becomes like magic. Can't remember who suggested it, but let's be honest it was probably Revolutionary Rob
I hope to goodness you have a Field Day Ticket.
While sat on some steps having my lunch I thought of some rules. Don't shop at Tesco Don't watch The Hills (ironically or otherwise) Don't say 'Do Thailand' Don't spend too much money on bags Don't habitually take drugs Don't be ignorant about current affairs Don't, when talking about music say you like 'a bit of everything' when in fact you like 'nothing' Don't get too angry about about sport Don't let the pictures become the event [...]
OMG, this is HUUUUUGH... Fern Cotton lexicon aside, I'm seriously, describing it's size seems very appropriate MASSIVE, BIG etc. It's the title track and opener of their new album coming out Sept 28th Via GVB Salem - King Kong
Well this is bloody good, track and video both. From his forthcoming album Pillow Talk. via Ear Milk

From the blog ' I like this blog ' here is my buddy Glen Erler talking about his friend and artist Barry Kamen.
"dude, wanna work on the lyrics or you just gonna keep making it up on the spot?"
In case you missed it, Baddiel and Skinner have a world cup podcast here , it's very entertaining (when Frank is talking) they are in South Africa so it's nice to get a bit of atmosphere. The Guardian's World Cup Daily is obviously very good too here . And lastly this is a great timetable to save in your bookmarks
