Is this really a new band, or is it just an extension of his solo project? I think the latter, especially since they apparently played his entire solo album — twice! But regardless, putting six question marks on the marquee, does it get any better than that?

Everything

I can’t decide if I like this a lot or love it, but I’ve watched it three times so far in the past two days. Check out the slightly less awesome (but still awesome, especially the first clip) Episode 1 as well. Hope they keep making more.

Iranian Street Art Exhibit

Nice NPR story on a current Iranian street art exhibit in Los Angeles. I’m trying to talk myself into checking it out, even if the style is a little too Banksy for my taste. I love that they had to sneak this stuff through customs though — and that some of the pieces didn’t make it!

My Boys

This would have gone from an 8.5 to a 9 had they not changed the lyrics. Maybe it’s cause I listened to the Magnetic Fields too much in college, but I’m a sucker for a cover where the gender of the singer changes, but the lyrics remain the same.

Penguin Great Ideas

I really like the cover designs of the books in this Penguin book series. We stumbled upon a couple of these guys in a nice bookstore in Istanbul a few weeks ago, but they were asking a little too much to warrant the purchase. They’re not much cheaper from the Penguin website, but it’s going on the things to buy when I’m rich list.
