Pro-Choice and Pro-Life: Meet More-Life.
Remember kids, if we tolerate anti-choicers now while they’re protesting abortion they will start to protest Birth Control.
If we tolerate anti-choicers while they’re protesting Birth Control they will start to protest sex beyond the bounds of marriage.
If we tolerate anti-choicers while they’re protesting sex outside of marriage they will start to protest mestruation.
I have seen the future!

“ That’s a little lazy. Beach Boys is just kinda your go-to vocal harmony band—especially given the fact that there are so many bands right now with guys in them who do legitimately sing like the Beach Boys. I feel like Amber and Angel’s tones are very, very different. They’re much less about that “warm, round” thing than a very linear, angular thing. That’s a little lazy, dude. ”
Dirty Projectors’ David Longstreth reacts to comparisons of his music to a wide range of reference points in articles and reviews about Bitte Orca. He says some nice things about Beyoncé and of Montreal, so that’s cool. I guess he’s into insolent sex parties. (via perpetua)
“ To be very clear: it makes no sense to speculate about Hasan’s motivations, and we’ve heard, for the past 16 hours, no shortage of wild speculation that stigmatizes a lot of people. Hasan is alive. He will be interrogated and tried. We will presumably learn soon why he committed the cowardly actions he committed. Until then, those who speculate only reveal their own prejudices. ”
Sorry I can't reblog the actual picture
How dare they use images of my murdered ancestors to justify their ignorant railing against a public option in healthcare reform? In what moral universe does someone make a sign like that?
Not in my—and not in THEIR—name(s)!
Timber Timbre on Morning Becomes Eclectic, Weds, Oct 28, 2009
Loving how I just got into this music and so searched on “Timber Timbre live” and found this KCRW performance—from 8 days ago.

Please can I have. Thanks.
Aw, well said Schroeder.
I NEED THIS.
During our vacation last week, we spontaneously decided to take up record collecting. I only wish that I had the money to be like Schroeder!

Timber Timber is on heaviest rotation since maybe when I first heard Bon Iver.
I really dig this tune in particular, with special points for being one the best extended quotations of a song within a song since the several in Elliot Smith’s catalog (though Elliot Smith’s examples are actually more ingenious).
[Flash 9 is required to listen to audio.]
Damn! I missed it. I totally would have gone. Love all the musicians and this record.

I like how the geosphere thing also sorta looks like pixelation.
I made this as my costume for Halloween 2009. It was kind of inspired by big-head mode seen in videogames. I really wanted to get the faceted geosphere look with wireframe.

Old Lubkowsczyna, Belarus, May 2000
Lubkowsczyna is the tiny village where my mother’s father’s mother, Libe Chane, was born and raised. The town was not even on contemporary maps. We located it via an historical map that was held at a research center in Warsaw. There’s a longer story to tell about getting here and meeting the warm couple whose barn this is.
To be continued.

Somewhere in Belarus, May 2000.
Until I find my notebooks from Belarus, I won’t be able to say where precisely this photo was taken.
More good stuff
