Standing on the edge of the Hova? Damn ...

Jay-Z meets Radiohead? Doesn't touch the Grey album, but there are some nice moments (download it here) - and anyway, posting this has given me enormous pleasure in writing the above Bob Mould-punning, lame-ass headline.

Clapton gets shredded

To my eternal shame a friend had to point out that this isn't, erm, Slow Hand playing - but then it's done so well...

Dusty attic reverie

My Sad Captains
One by one they appear in
the darkness: a few friends, and
a few with historical
names. How late they start to shine!
but before they fade they stand
perfectly embodied, all

the past lapping them like a
cloak of chaos. They were men
who, I thought, lived only to
renew the wasteful force they
spent with each hot convulsion.
They remind me, distant now.

True, they are not at rest yet,
but now they are indeed
apart, winnowed from failures,
they withdraw to an orbit
and turn with disinterested
hard energy, like the stars.

Oh, yeah? Well the jerk store's running out of you

Marshall Teller: 'Better weird than dead'

Best title sequence ever. EVER.
