Sounds and Pictures
Things I’m digging right now:
- This old Tungg song: Bullets. It wasn’t until the third listen that I decided it was being sung by happy, dancing zombies. Or hobbits. Or zombie hobbits? (Be sure to get past the odd little sonic intro.)
- I think I mentioned him before, but man, I just cannot get enough of Hudson Mohawke. Two of my favorite tracks are on this page in different forms, but I really think it’s worth getting the whole album. Here’s some more context.
- I love Jillian Tamaki’s sketchbook. These animals are appealing without being overcute. (Total Babar vibe, you know?) There are glimpses into her process. And overall I’m just blown away by the variety of tone and style. Like, wha? Whaaa?
-
Tornadoes in Brooklyn has been on a roll lately. Love these images of the magical (?!) former Soviet Union. These ones creep me out. And look at the texture of the sky here. Is that real? I’m kinda suspicious. Look at these signal flags! Wrapped up like Batman’s utility belt… for a boat.
- Let’s get a Snarkmarket treehouse.
Comments
I'd love a treehouse:
Tigers are mean
Tigers are fierce
Tigers have teeth
And claws that pierce.
Tigers are great
They can't be beat
If I was a tiger
That would be neat!
Tigers are nimble
And light on their toes
My REspect for tigers
Continually grows.
Tigers are perfect
The e-pit-o-me
Of good looks and grace
And quiet dignity!
Tigers are great
They're the toast of town
Life's always better
When a tiger's around!
Snarkmarketeers are always welcomed at Redwing Ranch, where this is our guesthouse: http://gallery.me.com/howardweaver#100193 (Photos and captions those of a recent guest, not me).
