Things I have:
- This japanese? print has been in my digital collection for a while and I just rediscovered it after rescuing a crashed hard drive. Not sure if I will keep it there or just display the weekly image in its place. I think it's purty.
Listened to:
- According to NPR, the walkmen are a cross between Dylan and the Velvet Underground. I think any statement of that sort is absurd, but likely one I might make as well after listening to the studio recording. THe live is a bit different, but listen for yourself to see.
Done:
- We went to the Gnome (only my second time for some reason... busy, busy, busy, broke, broke, broke)and finally tasted a bit of their food. And I must say it was damn good. Far too damn good for a simple little bar in Saint Paul, but big enough to turn a little bar in Saint Paul into a big bar in the Twin Cities. I had a grilled cheese made with Black Diamond Cheddar, Asparagus and Red Peppers with a big ol' plate of skin wearing fries (the skinny ones, not the wedges). And they make their own ketchup blend dammit! With horseradish and syuff in it! If you haven't been, go! Before they hike up their prices.
Digitally meandered:
- Eco-geek is one of those trend-blog-things which are popping up which seem to be a sort of style-digest for the lazy and otherwise occupied. It has some interesting things, even for those who are still so lazy they throw bottles and cans in the garbage. Those silly lazy people.
Bonus:
This week only!
An extra web link for those who want to hear the sounds of a beaver, the speeches of Joseph Stalin, Malcolm Ex, and George Bush I, and watch old documentary footage... and to make potato cannons..

Dylan and Velvet Underground...

I read this article once about Andy Warhol (why???) and New York in the 60's. Dylan, Warhol, and Velvet Underground were all contemporary New York icons. It was basically saying how Warhol (and Velvet Underground who he produced) represented the very homosexual/extreme/modern New York whereas Dylan represented the very folky and heterosexual New York culture. They were kind of the opposite poles of liberalism at the time. I think it suggested there was some antipathy between them...
Anyway, it just seemed funny to read about a fusion of the two... but, then again they are both mixed together in my heart....
