It's May. In New York this means 50 degree temperatures. Can't say I'm a fan. Regardless, lots of travel coming up this month to some warmer regions. Looking forward to some legit spring!

• Cat Riding Magic Carpet (A Whole New World) - I neglected to include this video last week and, frankly, it's one of those classics that delights at any time. Watch it twice.
• Tidal - End The Suffering - only the British could properly pull of this little skewering. It's pretty much impossible for mega-rich people to undertake schemes to become more mega-rich without looking like a buncha jerks.
• Dog in a fountain - Spring. This is how I wanna feel.
• RATATAT - CREAM ON CHROME - apparently these fluorescent lights were developed by Anamanaguchi.. nice effect. Great to hear RATATAT return.
• MLC 2012 - Competitive juggling championships. I can say no more.
• Best News Bloopers 80s and 90s - News bloopers are choice but vintage design bloopers are just slightly better.

Have a great weekend. Get outside!

Loving the work of photographer Antony Crook. The Non-Commissioned captures have an elegant, quiet, beauty to them but I'm really compelled by the Commissions - great portraits of Marina Abramovic, David Byrne, Peter Saville and plenty more.

Becky recently tuned me in to the existence of Criminal, a podcast series focused on "Stories of people who've done wrong, been wronged, or gotten caught somewhere in the middle." Great example of this is the Animal Instincts episode, that revisits the Michael Peterson case (see Death on the Staircase if you have not) and talks more in-depthly about "The Owl Theory" - a seemingly ludacrious solution to how Peterson is innocent that, given some thought, might actually be the stranger than fiction truth of it all.

The episodes rarely exceed 30 minutes, so they remain interesting without being overly time consuming.

A few weeks ago I posted about the archaic problem of having an iTunes folder that is sucking up entirely too much harddrive space. Given that cloud storage is so easy and ubiquitous these days I really should not be having such a problem, so I turned to services like Amazon Music Player, Google Play Music and even iTunes Match.

After posting, Paige pointed out her solution - put the entire iTunes library on an external drive, point your iTunes Library over there and sync that to Dropbox. It sounds brilliant! I can continue to function having a local iTunes library that behaves as normal and rest easy knowing that I've got a backup of the whole thing offsite. I can even use an app like Tunebox to access that music on the go.

But it didn't work. I copied the Library over to an external drive and started to sync the files to Dropbox using this handy little SymLink creator so Dropbox thought the folder was local, even though it wasn't. Maybe I set it up wrong but the files never fully sync'ed - 10 days into the process and Dropbox still reported 23+ days to go until completion. And beyond that, every time I unplugged my laptop from the harddrive, Dropbox saw the folder as empty and started emptying the contents (see Problem #1).

Overall, I'm happy to see that Google Play Music syncs my iTunes folder with their cloud and I can access that anywhere - but is there no tenable solution with having that drive sync'ed with a file service - not a Google Powerhouse? I'm certain I'm overthinking this and I know I'm close but I'd love some insight to connect the final dots. Are people seriously just fine with having Spotify and Rdio at their disposal and that's all they need?

I recently discovered the goodness of comedian Nate Bargatze through his comedy special Full Time Magic. My favorite part is his outfront admittance of not being too bright and then regaling his audience with evidence of such. There's plenty of great clips floating around but I'm just now diving into all that. Chuckles abound.

Last night I watched What We Do In The Shadows - a mockumentary from Jermaine Clement and Taika Waititi that follows a group of vampire roommates around. Everything from the mundane of getting house chores done to finding subjects to feed off of - it's all in there. I was fairly confident that I would enjoy it but it surprised me how enjoyable it was. While it's goofy and absurd, it's performed perfectly straight and takes the subject matter seriously. The comparison to a Christopher Guest movie would likely be met with hems and haws but I don't think it's unfair. High rewatchability and quotability on this one from my perspective. Watch the trailer for a taste and then seek this out - it's a good one.

Shea'la Finch is (maybe) best known for her work as one of the founding brains behind Tiny Showcase, the long running limited-print run for quality art pieces. What I did not know is that she partakes in her own creative exposition in the form of photography. Her site promises more images soon but you can get a taste of her style over on her Tumblr. This may sound odd but what strikes the most about it is that so much of it features people but not as the forefront subject, just as pieces of a landscape. There's an excellent human element to it all and I look forward to seeing more.

I'm enjoying the recent works of Robert Beckham - particularly the simply illustrated pieces. It's always cool to see an artists personality shine through when the techniques used are so minimal.

I am sure I have mentioned my mild obsession with his work before but I had the distinct pleasure of meeting Deth P Sun this weekend and gorged myself on purchasing his various zines and illustrations. I'm consistently thrilled with his other worldly characters and tales being told - without being overly specific about what that story is. There's just enough there to fill in the gaps and just enough missing to make it your own.

I've dug through his work from 2008 to now and it maintains that mild ambiguity while, somehow, continuing to define itself a little more. The characters are more realized and confidently drawn but the story continues to be what you make of it. Long story short, I love it.
