Maybe I'm just getting old, but this article reminds me how bad most recorded music is today.
Still essential after 40 years - The Boston Globe
40 years ago (a year before my birth), in a single year, saw the release of 'The White Album', 'We're Only In It For The Money', 'Electric Ladyland', 'Johnny Cash Live at Folsom Prison', 'Beggars Banquet', and 'Switched-On Bach' to name only a few. What I wouldn't give for a comparable album to "drop" now (to use the vernacular). In place of music with substance we have Beyonce, Britney, Madonna, The Jonas Brothers, and Miley Cyrus. Sure, there's more to choose from today, but nothing even approaching one of these masterpieces.
Quick quiz. Name at least 3 fashion mistakes in this photo. There were many more, but her whole body wouldn't fit in the picture. Oh, snap!
(Overheard on the #7): "We're having an outdoor wedding. Unfortunately we waited too long and have to settle for the Hamptons. Mother was very upset."
Another happy accident on my morning commute. I love the way the light frames this woman's face as she looks out the window. I might blow this one up for my wall :)
I just got a new photo application for my iPhone and was testing it out on my morning commute. This picture was actually an accident, as I didn't realize that I had the camera set to take black and white shots. But when I was looking back at the pictures I thought it came out really well.
Have a personal issue that you need to yell about? Aching to air dirty laundry in public? Need to test out the limits of your cell phone's microphone? The bus ride to work is the place for you! Seriously, does no one have any shame left? This woman was screaming a string of vulgarities into her phone that made me wonder why the person on the other end didn't hang up.
I hope in my next life to come back as a cat. Lay around all day, look out the window for hours, only show affection when you want something... Wait, is Paris Hilton a cat?
This is a new display setup in the auditorium where I work. It shows all of the Nobel Prize winners from the University's history. I want it for my apartment, but I'd replace all the old men with former members of Destiny's Child.
