“Portrait of A Summer Thief,” Sounds Under Radio

Another local Austin band. They sort of caught a break last year when this tune ended up on the Spiderman 3 soundtrack — it’s a great summer song.

Week Six

“They’re looking for you,” she said. “They think something bad happened.”

“Did you tell them?”

“No,” said Lucy. “Of course I didn’t tell them. I would never tell them. Are you insane?”

Jack glanced at his watch. “We’ve only got a few minutes.” He reached into his backpack & pulled out an envelope. “Here, take this.”

“What is it?” Lucy started to look inside.

“Just stuff you’ll need,” he said. “You can open it later.”

She stashed the envelope in her coat pocket & sat down in the sand. “I will, then.” She looked up at him. “If you’ll sit with me, Jack. For just a minute. We’ve got time — sit with me.”

Valpilou (for my great friend Philippe)

Light, sound, chandelier, fountain…

Ramon stepped carefully down the sidewalk. He could see the house — the stairs beckoned & he climbed them.

He saw the note right away, taped to the front door, with ‘LuLu’ printed in block letters. He opened it and read: “This is when it’s hard to be alone.”

That was it. That was all.

Unthinkable Futures

Wed, 02 Jul 2008 21:21:00 -0500

Unthinkable Futures:

via dailymeh:

This list of unthinkable futures — probabilities we tend to dismiss without thinking — was published 15 years ago in the Summer, 1993 issue of Whole Earth Review. Our intent was less to correctly predict the future (thus the silliness) and more to predict how unpredictable the actual future would be.

Hence we find such unlikely predictions as “a new profession, meme-inspector, comes into being” and “manufacturers of underwear finally realize that men have different-sized balls”, along with their more scifi-inspired cousin predictions. And we find Brian Eno (and not Jason Kottke, who merely quoted it) predicting a change in art:

A new type of artist arises: someone whose task is to gather together existing but overlooked pieces of amateur art, and, by directing attention onto them, to make them important. (This is part of a much larger theory of mine about the new role of curatorship, the big job of the next century.)

Tumblr, thy kingdom come.

Mmmm, I would like this job, please — I want to be a meme-inspector. I already iz a teme machine.

Del Castillo, live on the Dudley & Bob Show, KLBJ FM, 7.2.08

I wish I knew the name of this song — I should have asked them this morning — the singer was so close, I could have reached out & touched him w/ him my tapping toe.

Del Castillo is director Robert Rodriguez’s favorite Austin band — they’re featured in several of his films & a few members play in Robert’s own band, Chingon.
