Broken Road is an SEO optimized music video by Numbers and Letters
I’m gonna brag a little and say I knew Katie Hasty when. She’s rolled with the Old Dirty Barristers and she’s good peeps. I had to share her latest video because it has stepped hard on all my buttons. My buttons might be a little cracked, so hard has she stepped.
This upbeat banger from Numbers and Letters is all about Kittens, Sex, Fail – the most popular search terms on the internet.
From their description:
This lyric video was designed to make use of the three of the most popular SEO-friendly terms: “kitten,” “sex” and “fail.” They are among the internet collective’s favorite things to search for. At times, they are interchangeable, full of meaning and without meaning. Congratulations, us.
This video was made possible through Creative Commons-licensed content and the contributions of Numbers And Letters fans. Cats cats cats
BTW – she does the right thing and cites her sources in the youtube page. GO KATIE! Buy the album when it comes out in APRIL.. WTF?
Your art on my wall!
Dr. Mallin sent me this panorama from the top of Mount Grandeur in Utah. Now it’s up in the cloud gallery.
I’ve gotten some great submissions from friends – but many are too short! Please send me your highest resolution longest panoramas. Or don’t worry about it and send me whatevs. I’ll edit it to make it work if I can.
Here is what it looks like in the room. That’s Robin with River on his lap.

On OK Cupid, someone has introduced a special twitter spam bot to the pickup artist folks.
Big thanks to Sheep Robby for the heads up!
Saying Goodbye to Wookie
This is difficult to write. Lil’ Wookie Katz is dying of lung cancer. It is not going well, he’s a sweetheart but he’s gone from 15 pounds to 7.
He’s such a good boy that it’s hard to think about taking him to be put down. But that is coming soon. We didn’t do the right thing by Magic, and he died in pain. We aren’t going to leave Wooks to that.
He’s going to go soon. One of the special things about him is that he’s a charmer. Everyone who meets him falls for him.
The vets have been writing notes to each other about him in their medical reports about how sweet and handsome he is. They gather to watch him eat. I get it. This is a very good boy.
If you’ve been charmed by him and want to see him before he goes, please come by soon and bring your best cuddles. He loves you back, unconditionally.
I’m going to send this out to people and put him where he belongs.
Sometimes I think it is a shame how ugly the NYC subway stations have gotten. Then I go to the Newport PATH station.
Manchester Orchestra – Virgin
Manchester Orchestra is really putting it all out there for this version of Virgin, but I think the kids really make it:
I know there are other good songs with kids singing.
Any other suggestions?
Noorman’s Kil
My buddy N is dating one of the owner’s of Noorman’s Kil in Williamsburg, right in my old neighborhood.
Billy, there in the middle, he’s the one.
Can I just say how exciting it is to go down in the basement, past the keg fridge and into the room where they keep the secret treasures of old and rare whiskey? I settled in for some Noah’s Mill, but Jason on the right ended up drinking a Vintage 17 Bourbon that was the best thing we found that night. So damn sweet and smooth, like a preacher looking for a donation. There was also a really good peat smoked stout but by that point I couldn’t be bothered to remember things like names or my tab.
I expect N to shortly die of whisky poisoning. Her boy has around 300 kinds. That can’t end well.
This morning started… slowly.
