I saw this as a wee man late one night on HBO while brand new to America. It has had an indelible effect on me. It took me 25 years to figure out the name of the cartoon. I love the interwebs. It does wonders for my already absurdist feelings of wispy sentiments.

...

We lived in a suburb of Phoenix during a time when it was still regarded as a place you pass through on your way to more provocative cities like L.A. or Las Vegas. Because of this we harbored a festering resentment for our parents and our environs by virtue of the fact that none of us chose to be there. Our mothers and fathers, we felt, tolerated banality in exchange for warmer climes and better pay, and for that they could not be forgiven. We fostered dreams that one day California would break off into the Pacific, allowing topographers the world over the glory of mapping Arizona's new coastline.

Californians: learn to swim.

It was a strange time. We were all secretly envious or upset or in love with each other, slightly twisted or confused by the changes going on around us, by our own inner weather. We were all bored to bits, wondering what else was out there beyond the desert fringe, beyond the belt of dry heat that kept us from ever exploring further than our own curiosity.

We were restless.

We were waiting for an earthquake.

In the meantime we would fill our tanks with just enough petrol to get lost and find our way back again. We would antagonize our god-given form with an assortment of iniquities, loading up on vices that allowed us to forget our imperfections and our encroaching responsibilities. We had our mixtapes cued up in the tape deck. And we would drive without direction or purpose. Our plan was to have no plan, to follow our bliss as far as our nerve would allow. We drove just to feel like we were going somewhere. And invariably we would pass the time with long drives that lasted until sunrise, exploring every inch of our much maligned teenaged wasteland. When we weren't in silent contemplation of the music, we were having conversations that were amusing and pointless, conversations that, like our road trips, often led to dead ends. In retrospect we realize how ironic it truly was. But it was okay back then because we felt that there was always tomorrow, always another opportunity to do it again, to get it right. And it is only now, while carrying the load of all our adult obligations, that we understand just how lucky we were to be that terribly naive. It is a bliss that we have yet to return to.

Love Came Here


Love Came Here (live)


I was seated in the corner. We were all either ceremoniously boozed or properly so. The evening seemed to reach that point where conversations can quickly switch from highbrow pretension to lowbrow contempt and back again, all with little provocation. I decided that I had had enough, and so was quietly planning my grand escape while dutifully feigning rapture at a chain-smoking, gin-soaked gal seated directly across from me. She was apparently telling me something incredibly important...to her. But I knew early on that her expectations for me in this conversation weren't so much about equal input, but rather appropriately placed nods and expressions of acknowledgment. She needed someone to assure her that what she was saying was important and privileged information.

I was ready to leave.

But then on came this song. And I was instantly smitten. The barroom ambiance peeled away, taking everyone with it. I felt comfortably alone, content, and so I ordered another beverage. I decided to continue to placate the chain-smoking, gin-soaked gal with a charitable series of nods and affirmations, expressions all cleverly looped to hide its true intent. I decided to do it, if only for the duration of the song, because I realized in that moment that there is purpose in this world, and that life is not unlike an ensemble, where we all have our place, arriving and exiting on cue, speaking lines that are sometimes starring and sometimes supporting. Sometimes we need to be heard. Sometimes all we have to do is listen. And so that is what I did. I will no doubt do it again someday.

How to manipulate people

Futurism

Futurism was an international art movement founded in Italy in 1909. It was (and is) a refreshing contrast to the weepy sentimentalism of Romanticism. The Futurists loved speed, noise, machines, pollution, and cities; they embraced the exciting new world that was then upon them rather than hypocritically enjoying the modern world’s comforts while loudly denouncing the forces that made them possible. Fearing and attacking technology has become almost second nature to many people today; the Futurist manifestos show us an alternative philosophy.

Too bad they were all Fascists.

The Eyes Have It: How Eye Contact Affects Our Brains

Did you ever play the Eye Contact Game as a kid? You’re supposed to sit directly across from another person and stare into his or her eyes for as long as possible while keeping a straight face. I don’t think I won a single game; every attempt would end in a fit of nervous giggles. And as an adult, I feel even weirder locking eyes with someone for too long. There’s just something about prolonged eye contact that makes you feel vulnerable and exposed, as if the person looking into your eyes has access to your inner thoughts and feelings. A loved one’s lingering look can trigger a rush of happiness, but too much eye contact with an acquaintance or a stranger can bring on sudden discomfort. How, exactly, does eye contact affect us, anyway?

10 Uncool Artists Primed For Hipster Rediscovery

Remember emo kids? Only a few short years ago, the nation's venues of the nation were filled with kids in all black, wearing ultra-skinny jeans, eyeliner, white belts, and identical chopped-meat haircuts. Then, all at once, an entire generation realized, "Hey, we look kind of silly," and the style virtually disappeared overnight.

Sure, there are a few holdouts, in the same way people still cling to grunge, butt-rock, stoner rock, and other genres even when they're years past their prime. But for the most part, the emo kid has been replaced by the "hipster."

It's a nebulous, ill-defined word, is hipster. Some people think it means any person who seems vaguely hip or cool; others think it applies exclusively to the intentionally cartoonish overcompensators you'll see at LookAtThisFuckingHipster.com.

We tend to go with the latter definition, although it's undeniable that a significant movement has been and is still being made towards a certain aesthetic, from things as simple as fashion to complex, meaningful stuff like music and art. If we must refer to the new wave of indie/DIY/fashionable/often a little bit smug kids as "hipsters" for brevity's sake, then so be it.

One thing hipsters love to do is find something generally seen as lame and then start adoring it ironically. That's why hipsters are so into low-budget Turkish cinema and brightly colored T-shirts festooned with '80s nostalgia like Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, The Noid, and of course Phil Donahue.

We have to wonder: how will many elder rocksmen, traditionally seen as lame by previous generations, appeal to today's modern hipster?

3 poems from Denis Johnson

Passengers

The world will burst like an intestine in the sun,
the dark turn to granite and the granite to a name,
but there will always be somebody riding the bus
through these intersections strewn with broken glass
among speechless women beating their little ones,
always a slow alphabet of rain
speaking of drifting and perishing to the air,
always these definite jails of light in the sky
at the wedding of this clarity and storm
and a woman's turning - her languid flight of hair
traveling through frame after frame of memory
where the past turns, its face sparking like emery,
to open it grace and incredible harm
over my life, and I will never die.

...

The Raveonettes: Wine


...

The Flames

In 1972 I crossed Kansas on a bus
with a dog apparently pursued to skinniness
painted on its side, an emblem
not entirely inappropriate, considering
those of us availing ourselves
of its services - tossed
like rattles in a baby's hand,
sleeping the sleep of the ashamed
and the niggardly, crying out
or keeping our counsel as we raced over the land,
flailing at dreams
or lying still. And I awoke to see
the prairie, seized by the cold and the early hour,
continually falling away beside us, and a fire
burning furiously in the dark: a house
posted about by tiny figures -
firemen; and a family
who might have been calling out to God
just then for a witness.

But more than witness, I remember now
something I could only have imagined
that night: the sound of the reins breaking
the bones in the farmer's hands
as the horses reared and flew back into the flames
he wanted to take them away from.
My thoughts are like that,
turning and going back where nothing wants them,
where a door opens and a road
of light falls through it
from behind you and pain
starts to whisper with your voice;
where you stand inside your own absence,
your eyes still smoky from dreaming,
the ruthless iron press
of love and failure making
a speechless church out of your dark
and invisible face.

Man Walking to Work

The dawn is a quality laid across
the freeway like the visible
memory of the ocean that kept all this
a secret for a hundred million years.
I am not moving and I am not standing still.
I am only something the wind strikes and clears,
and I feel myself fade like the sky,
the whole of Ohio a mirror gone blank.
My jacket keeps me. My zipper
bangs on my guitar. Lord God help me
out by the lake after the shift at Frigidaire
when I stop laughing and taste how wet the beer
is in my mouth, suddenly recognizing the true
wedding of passage and arrival I am invited to.

Tell-tale disappointment: Mysterious visitor to Poe's grave is a no-show for 2nd straight year

BALTIMORE (AP) — Telltale hearts beat with anticipation during a rainy, midnight dreary and beyond, hoping the mysterious visitor to Edgar Allan Poe's grave would return after a one-year absence.

But once again, the unknown person who for decades has left three roses and a half-empty bottle of cognac at Poe's grave on the anniversary of the writer's birth failed to appear Wednesday, fueling speculation that he may have died.

Seattle’s Hidden Past Lies In Its Underground City

The Seattle Space Needle, Safeco Field, Pike Place Market and the Washington Ferries are all places you probably have on your “must see” list when traveling to Seattle, Washington or the Pacific Northwest. But did you know that one of Seattle’s top tourist attractions is actually underground? That’s right, you have to go below the city to tour Seattle’s famous Underground City.

It started back in June 1889, when Seattle experienced what is often referred to as the “Great Fire of 1889″. This fire was an unfortunate set of coincidences that brought devastation to the city of Seattle. Sad to say, at the end of it all, approximately 25-30 city blocks had all but burned to the ground.

Amazing Design Wooden House by Robert Harvey Oshatz

This beautiful house is located in Portland, Oregon. The impressive design has been making for seven years, since 2004. When it just was a simple scratch on drawinng board. It is made by Robert Harvey Oshatz, an architect that involve a lots of his time in making of this wooden house. People around the world like it and and every single of them have different explanation of this . A lover of music, the client wanted a house that not only became part of the natural landscape but also addressed the flow of music. This house evades the mechanics of the camera; it is difficult to capture the way the interior space flows seamlessly through to the exterior. One must actually stroll through the house to grasp its complexities and its connection to the exterior. One example is a natural wood ceiling, floating on curved laminated wood beams, passing through a generous glass wall which wraps around the main living room.

10 Reasons Why Socrates is Still Relevant Today

“We think the way we do because Socrates thought the way he did,” writes Bettany Hughes at the start of The Hemlock Cup, her brand new biography of ancient Greece’s greatest philosopher.

Two-and-a-half millennia of history might separate us from the age when Socrates roamed the streets of ancient Athens, formulating and articulating his philosophies to the people. But many of his words and ideas ring just as true in the 21st century as they did back then. (For a run-down of ten great Socrates quotes to reflect upon, check out Owen's blog here).

From his beliefs on philosophical ethics to the justness of war, the folly of materialism, the necessity of true free speech and the importance of standing up for what you believe in, we count down 10 reasons why Socrates' philosophies are still relevant today.

Nosaj Thing vs. Aalto — Behind The Projection Mapping Performance

by Julia Kaganskiy

Projection mapping is the trend du jour these days — in the past year we’ve seen it pop up on structures varied as centuries old Czech clock towers to futuristic Frank Gehry buildings. Though the technique is essentially founded on optical illusion and achieves its dazzling effects by manipulating the appearance of architectural structures and three-dimensional space, here’s a rare demystifying look at the creative and technical process behind producing one of these audiovisual light performances.

Artist Romain Tardy (aka Aalto), of the visual label/VJ collective AntiVJ, dispels the smoke and mirrors typically associated with projection mapping and takes us through each step of the conception, design and construction for his recent performance with electronic musician Nosaj Thing at Lunchmeat Festival 2010 in Prague. Tardy spent two weeks prior to the performance customizing his design to the MeetFactory venue as the artist in residence in Lunchmeat’s first residency program. Assisted by a small team of carpenters, Tardy and his crew constructed a wooden framework for the stage design and covered it with more than 500 polystyrene triangles to make up a beautiful grid-like projection surface.

Let Obama’s Reagan Revolution Begin

BARACK OBAMA’S Christmas resurrection was so miraculous that even a birther or two may start believing the guy is a Christian.

Nothing captured the president’s sudden reversal of fortune more vividly than the Linda Blair-like head spin of the conservative pundit Charles Krauthammer, who pronounced the Obama agenda “dead” on Fox News on Nov. 3 only to lead the bipartisan media hordes anointing him “the new comeback kid” six weeks later. Last week Obama’s Gallup job approval rating fleetingly hit 50 percent for the first time in eight months. Even in post-shellacking mid-December, polls found that Americans still trusted him more than Washington’s Republican leaders to fix the nation’s ills — health care included, according to the ABC News-Washington Post survey on that question.

Obama Created More Jobs In One Year Than Bush Created In Eight

This morning, the Labor Department released its employment data for December, showing that the U.S. economy ended the year by adding 113,000 private sector jobs, knocking the unemployment rate down sharply from 9.8 percent to 9.4 percent — its lowest rate since July 2009. The “surprising drop — which was far better than the modest step-down economists had forecast — was the steepest one-month fall since 1998.” October and November’s jobs numbers were also revised upward by almost 80,000 each. Still, 14.5 million Americans remain unemployed, and jobs will have to be created much faster in coming months for the country to pull itself out of the economic doldrums.
