There is silence born of love...

Harold Budd's next album, Jane 12-21 (and apparent follow-up to his Jane 1-11), is due to be released on 09 September. It's available for pre-order and preview of all the tracks.

I just discovered this myself so we can listen together: Robert Fripp and David Sylvian, A New Dream, live 1993. And speaking of Mr. Fripp, his latest incarnation of King Crimson announced their upcoming tour dates.

[Update: I hope you listened to Fripp & Sylvian's A New Dream. Wow. I was entranced.]

What's up with you people in Wisconsin where the number of bars exceed the number of grocery stores by 2.7 times?
Star Wars geeks: video of the dialog sorted alphabetically.

I don't know why, but these 3,000 year old pants fascinate me.

A lot of these Fort Worth stereotypes are questionable except for the first one: Fort Worthers would rather die than move to Dallas.

100 American craft beers that (they say) you should drink. (8 out of 100 isn't bad, right?)

More craft pr0n: turning a tree stump into a stool.

And for stool of a different kind, leave it to our friends in Japan to invent this handy device.

I agree with you on the Fort Worth stereotypes. They should have quit at one.

Woodcrafts are always enjoyable videos.

I like the toilet flush idea but not sure why it works.

I wish they had had a craft beer movement back in the day I could enjoy a cold beer.

I like the quote.

The toilet thing is just a plunger. as long as the seal around the rim is good, pressing down pushes everything out the exit.

I still prefer my plunger that takes compressed air cartridges. Very satisfying to use.
