Rad Thing of the Day: Trifecta!

Skip the add for the mp3s and this page is all love:  kelly hogan writing about lynda barry next to the artwork for the new yo la tengo album.

two nights ago i was thinking about lynda barry.  can't remember what brought her to mind.  i might have been looking at some of her books on the shelf.  as i am meant to be cutting in "impressionistic sound effects" to play against slow motion footage of someone shooting craps i will leave off with my commentary and post this link to ms. hogan's piece on lynda barry over at magnet magazine.

kelly hogan is guest editing at magnet and has written about 10 pieces as of this post (don't look to me for accuracy on this one, i counted as i scrolled down this page of essays! bonus link!)

 here is where you see the 3 other posts mentioning l. barry on this blog..

fun facts:  kelly hogan's album "i like to keep myself in pain" is my most listened to album this year.
snack of note:  double cappuccino
t-shirt of note: the hideout
and: the new yo la tengo album is stunning! love love love it
plans for tonight:  bernie worrell at the mint!

Rad Thing of the Day

Brian P. of Northern Flicker Films has been recording "the last film i saw" podcast for a few months now. i was hoping to write up a clever, enticing description so that you might listen to it. however, it is almost 1 am and i'm less clever than i might have been 4 hours ago.

so.

i love this podcast. Last Film I Saw Podcast

fun fact: in episode 8 you can hear me being interviewed about the last film i'd seen, and wax technical about editing Brian P's short films.

man. i am going to rewrite this tomorrow.

rad thing of the day: my thermos

i love this thermos.

for years i've been using a thermal coffee mug to tote my joe. i love this mug. but that mug has been sidelined as i left it at a neighbor's house weeks ago. in the interim i've been using the thermos.

when my neighbor, beige, moved to philadelpia she shed a few belongings. she gave this thermos to me.
it keeps my coffee hot for hours. this is important. it may seem to be overstating it that this thing is good at what it does, but i have several second string thermal mugs that are not effective: they drip, they don't keep stuff hot, they're awkward to use.

so.

my first ever Rad Thing of the Day post is dedicated to my thermos.
thanks, beige!
