A ‘Hygge’ Guide to Copenhagen
Copenhagen is known for many things, such as the little mermaid or Tivoli Gardens, but one of the most interesting things about this place is actually indoors, and called ‘Hygge’.
Well, I’m ready. [h/t Autumn Watts]
Cass McCombs, “The Same Thing”
“…we’re cut from different sides of the same cloth…”
Doesn’t this sound like a chilled west coast folk cousin to Peter Murphy’s “Cuts You Up”? Same bass, same beat… It’s been going down really well today behind a precious last bit of sustained rough-drafting before the semester starts. The mp3 is free until Feb 29 on Spin’s Best of 2011.
Veronica Maggio,”Jag Kommer”
(Live @ Allsång på Skansen)
Wow this live version (with members of Robyn’s backing band?) of the track Maura posted earlier.
“Gammal Sång” has been one of my favorites since Mondo Salvo #2. Dunno why I never looked for more.
Ben Marcus, author of The Flame Alphabet, provides some great writing advice for writers: “One thing I think that writers can try to do is understand how they read. When you pick up a book and half way through the first page you’re not interested, what is it that’s failing to grab your attention? What is it that’s missing? What is it exactly that bores you? And in turn when you write, are you doing any of those things yourself?”
This is great. One thing creative writing classes too often fail to encourage or even mention is that everybody reads differently.

Here’s the video of those guys running Noccalula Falls.
One day later, their footage was appropriated by The Weather Channel.
And now, an ad for Canal+ starring a bear (rug).
Posting this because any video with a French bear yelling “I DON’T GIVE A SHIT!” is ok by me.
I love this.
Somewhere, Triumph is feeling really envious.
Seeing this as soon as possible.
Cathartic palpitations (though does Demi Moore have to be the one to say “we were wrong”?)
Happy Birthday Laura Nyro. “Save The Country” is as relevant as it ever was.
Chills.
