I don’t think I ever posted any pictures from this so here it is. The great American pinball expo in Chicago. I’ve never seen or played so many pinball machines in my life. And yes, it was even more fun than it sounds.

I don’t know what to write. This is too personally monumental to try to write an adequate description. I’ll never post it if I’m required to write something worthy. So I’ll just post it.
I love it. Very much. Sundance. Sean Lennon. Charlotte Muhl. hitRECord.org

FEUDALISM: You have two cows. Your lord takes some of the milk.
PURE SOCIALISM: You have two cows. The government takes them and puts them in a barn with everyone else’s cows. You have to take care of all of the cows. The government gives you as much milk as you need.
BUREAUCRATIC SOCIALISM: You have two cows. The government takes them and put them in a barn with everyone else’s cows. They are cared for by ex-chicken farmers. You have to take care of the chickens the government took from the chicken farmers. The government gives you as much milk and eggs as the regulations say you need.

I know I have talked about Radio Lab before, but this is really cool. This piece is about ear worms. What songs get stuck in your head and how to get rid of them. It mixes people talking about the songs with the actual songs. Fun.

Vampire Weekend
I’ve got to say I’m a little dissapointed by the new Vampire Weekend album Contra. The reason their first album was so good and people, myself included, fell in love with them was because it was so goddammed poppy. Every song could get stuck in your head. It is such a great summer head bopping album. Their new album has very little of that. It’s really mellow. Don’t get me wrong, it’s still good, but it’s not the Vampire Weekend I love. There are other bands that do the whole relaxing, background music thing so much better.
