Thee More Shallows - 2am
If the toy piano hadn’t already won me over, the guitar and lyrics would have done it five times over on their own.

Eels - “What I Have to Offer” (2:41)
I’m only this far into the new album but had to stop to share this with you. How he consistently puts out music of such high quality in such a large volume is only a small part of why I enjoy Eels.

100821-2 - If you want to go fast, go alone
Today was a fairly busy day. Shot a downhill longboard race. A ton of photos are coming- I’m turning it into a proper set and blog post tomorrow. After the longboard race it was off to photograph a dragon boat race.
Right now we’re puppy-sitting my favorite dog in the world (some day I’ll take photos for you all), and I’m still finding it difficult to really get enough free time to kill off items in my to-do list faster than I establish tasks for the list.
On Wednesday I should be putting in the order for some studio gear, which should allow me to photograph people in RAD MANOR. This plan is still very much in effect and rolling forward, just a little slower than originally scheduled. All the same, MaxFunCon is in ten months and I’ve got to show up better than ever or else I won’t be welcome again in 2012.
We’ll see how well this goes. They don’t give you much space for text, so I chose this instead of “without the tight jeans and oversized white sunglasses.”

If a robot1 was able to take your job, you didn’t have a job worth keeping. You just didn’t know it yet. Build skills that require you, not just a business process.
[1]: Or an unskilled laborer who doesn’t speak the local language.
who designed and built the robots? who maintains their software and hardware? who responds to the increased demand on the energy infrastructure? workers who used to slave away at backbreaking, soul-crushing, repetitive manual labor; that’s who.
Amen. Evolving society liberates itself from destructive forms of labour, if it’s someone’s ideal to go into coal mines or to pick cotton all day in the sun I say they’re mad.

Me in an email about next year’s budget. Anthem continues to be my favorite and still underused word.
“
We’ve made huge improvements in our morale and work styles in the last few months, we need to find a way as a team to assure each other that we’re living the anthem of being better and not just mouthing the words.

Very cool photos of New York in the 80s by photographer Bruce Davidson. (via Sam)
Bruce Davidon’s subway book is one of my all-time favorite photography books. I can’t recommend it more highly if you like urban photography. You can almost feel the evaporating sweat and threatening nature of the subway during the era.
p.s.: The gentlemen above are there to help.

Gord Downie and the Country of Miracles - “As a Mover” (4:16)

The Tragically Hip - Grace, Too
I posted this as a reply, but realise that everyone needs to know:
If you can, grab the version from “Live Between Us” for what a teenaged me considered the best live version. The line below morphs (like in many Hip songs), and becomes “With skill and this frustration” and I can’t help but get goosebumps.
I couldn’t agree more, though I think the Gord-ism that launches this song (and all of Live Between Us, an amazing live album) is what has me locked in.
“Sun came up, shot through the blinds / Today was the day, and I was already behind.”
Ryan gets it, too. Get on board, folks. Gord Downie encounters a bear in this song, while hunting, and lives through it.

A few great tips that apply to any sort of family or partnership.
From today’s great Hello from Hugh
Life is sometimes both awesome and cruel when you realise that you have not only an awesome oriental noodle restaurant within viewing distance of your balcony but a great ice creamery within a five minute walk.
Tonight’s result: consuming too much noodles to go get ice cream.
If I die here, it was a happy death and a pretty decent life. There are also two usually-great cinemas and maybe 80% of the city’s playhouses within walking distance as well.
