Do Want: A Skin, A Night DVD



The incomparable Vincent Moon (www.takeawayshows.com) followed The National during the making of Boxer, my most favorite album of last year. This is the end result. Also apparently comes with an EP.

Frontier Psych's Early Riverfest Picks

To answer the burning question on all my readers' minds:  These are the Arkansas Bands that I'd recommend for Riverfest.  I know all of ya'll will be out there for Huey and Merle and Shooter and ZZ, but these are the bands I'm going to be checking out.  This lineup is totally worth ya'll's 10 bucks for pre-ordered tickets.  Links to Myspace pages below for samples.

I don't even know, man.  But if you need a new phone and are close to contract renewal, might be time to pull the trigger for that wifi enabled Blackberry or Samsung Blackjack II.  No iPhones, obvs.

The Secret Origin of Walcott and Vampire Weekend

I feel like crap right now. No reason that you should too. Check out P4K's exclusive with the boys from VW. Follow up with a three song set with a string trio and somewhat new arrangements. Nice

Update- My Web Presence

I've been blogging less (obvs) and using some other stuff much more often. Here are the places I can be found on the web currently.

Twitter
Microblog. I use this from my cell phone and online to post my thoughts throughout the day and to keep up with my other friends who use it.

del.icio.us
Social bookmarking site. Just started messing around with it. Put some new stuff up this weekend.

Google Reader

Shared links from my Google Reader. I really love the trends feature on Google Reader.

FriendFeed
Captures all of my stuff I"m doing everywhere. Occasionally I put up links to cool new stories. I've thrown this up on my Facebook. Also. Link to my Amazon.com Wish List here. Hint, hint.

Ya'll can find my Facebook and (mostly abandoned) MySpace pages on your own.

Best,
Frontier Psychiatrist

Twitter In Plain English

I love these little commoncraft videos. I have a hard time explaining what I love about Twitter. I've recently become addicted, but my friends don't get it. Here is the long and short (140 characters only, please) about Twitter, in Plain English.

Hellboy II trailer.

Man. Guillermo del Toro has had this thing going where he made some really creepy crazy smaller foreign films (The Devils Backbone, Pan's Labyrinth (!!!) [did ya'll see that guy with his eyes on his hands? Crazy]) and some mildly disappointing Hollywood blockbusters (Mimic, Blade II). The first Hellboy movie bridged the gap between the two. Now. This this looks freaking awesome. Did ya'll see that man with a building for a face? The albino dude who looks like Uther Doul? Crazy. I'm super excited about this movie now.

Awesome New Gmail Feature: Custom Time

Go back and send an email from any time in the past up to April 1, 2004.  Uses something called a "e-flux capacitor" to resolve issues of causality.  Makes forensic report deadlines a thing of the past!

But you only get 10, because:
Our researchers have concluded that allowing each person more than ten pre-dated emails per year would cause people to lose faith in the accuracy of time, thus rendering the feature useless.

Gmail Custom Time

"This feature allows people to manipulate and mislead people with falsified time data. Time is a sacred truth that should never be tampered with."

Forward through backward time



It works best if you don't consciously think about how it happened, but just to let yourself get swept up in the dreamlike music. For some reason this makes me think of the movie Amelie.

I Heart Yellow Drum Machine



More video. I love the tail.

Cute Robot Chaser



This little yellow guy rolls around and finds things to play drums on. He wouldn't team up with the crazy mule robot. He just wants to get on down. Anybody have any more video of him?

Suicide or Murder?

Man, 81, kills himself with shot from 'suicide robot.'

Hate to be all pro-human, anti-robot these days, but with the robots eating all the old people's medications somebody has to stop them.

The Onion News Panel: Are We Giving Robots Too Much Power?



"The president is just appealing to its 'Destroy all Humans' base'" "It happens every election cycle."

"Humans die, so that's a flawed system."

"Praise to the wise ones, our robot masters."
