The Sanctuary is a beautiful, simple solution to a real everyday problem. A place to put the multitude of personal items we all carry around so they are easily located again when later needed and, always fully charged. (via Bluelounge - The Sanctuary)

Jenny Lewis - Fernando

I’ve found, and hopefully shared, a lot of great music on tumblr, but if you had any doubt about the community here, I present you with the following evidence:

Of my recent followers, one has a tattoo from my favorite Rilo Kiley song, and another’s user name is the title of my favorite Belle & Sebastian album. Awesome!

Cloud Cult - Feel good ghosts - “Hurricane and Fire Survival Guide”

“If there are still a few bands who can keep selling records after the music industry’s struggles with technology are all over, I hope Cloud Cult will be one. The Minnesota-based art-rockers make their recordings using geothermal energy and recycled materials, donate proceeds to environmentally friendly charities, and play concerts with an onstage painter. Their grand, unkempt indie rock is at once jam band, emo, and avant-garde. Their songs, born out of personal tragedy, are otherworldly lessons in being human. In usual form, Cloud Cult vent their sadness through songs that combine emotional release with heterogeneous arrangements, and often, head-nodding beats.”

“The first cave at Mogaoku was carved in A.D. 366 by an itinerant monk named Yuezun who said that one night he saw flamelike lights pulsing across the cliff face and took them as a sign: Here you must stay. So he cut a hole in the sandstone wall and moved in.” (via Art - Civilization on Display - Buddha’s Caves in Dunhuang - Series - NYTimes.com)

» In Music, Others' Tastes May Help Shape Your Own

From the NYTimes:

The top 10 lists were particularly good in revealing the authors’ taste for variety, intellectual appetite for abstract ideas and willingness to experiment with alternative points of view, a quality psychologists call openness. And a high volume of lyrics in a person’s list seemed to roughly reflect sociability, or extroversion, Dr. Rentfrow said.

circling the parking lot

iamneurotic:

My odometer can never be stopped at an odd number. If as I’m parking, my mileage is odd, I must continue driving around the parking lot or up and down the street until the mileage turns even, and only then can I park.

For those of you who haven’t had an opportunity to see WALL·E yet, here’s the opening movie for it, called Presto. It should definitely whet your appetite.
