Humdinger? You brought 'er!

KCSN has gone robo-DJ and I mourn having a real person spin discs on the public-sponsored music station. But --- the robot spins from a pretty damned fine and eclectic set of tunes.

I've had Humdinger from Old Crow Medicine Show stuck in my head ever since they played it this morning. And I just recently ordered a Jeb Loy Nichols CD because the same thing happened last week after they played a cut from his old "Love Knot" album.

I wonder who curates the playlist?

BTW, don't miss their weekend shows. They are still hosted by real-live DJs and they are awesome. Although I really miss their Americana show, the twang show and blues show are great.

Long Exposure

"We're All Gonna Die - 100 meters of existence" is a very cool photo project by Simon Hogsberg.

It's a photo 100 meters long of 178 people shot over 20 days from a bridge in Berlin. I'm struck by how intimate these public photos are.

WANT

I've been putting off getting a new iphone for a couple of months now. (Thanks for the loaner, Mark!). Now I know why:

The new iPhone looks totally sweet.

Nice scoop, Gizmodo.

Shit I would put up on my office door if I had a job:

Propaganda posters for vintage arcade games. May have to order one of these for my lair:
