*Books: Vladimir Nabokov’s son Dmitri ignored his father’s dying request and instead of destroying his unfinished work upon his death, he published it. (Somewhat related is this Lolita-inspired coffee table.) On “Original of Laura.” I ask that upon my death, both my unpublished AND published work be destroyed. Thank you all. [3quarks]
*Video: Here’s some video of the Air Sex World championships. It’s both odd and probably not safe for work. And it has nerds with beards. And umbrellas. And a guy named Dick Oxygen. But it’s not as good as it sounds. Weird, I know.
*Nostalgia: For some reason, I love that this incredibly long interview with Vanilla Ice starts off with lyrics from his most famous song. You know, to set the tone. Huh? [mefi]
*Blogging: The format of this new music blog, Left As Rain, is interesting. Setting humility aside for a moment, I think my style would be suited to it. [notcot]
*Art: Olivier Kosta-Théfaine uses a cigarette lighter to burn incredible images into ceilings. I once carved “K-Ball” into a high-school commons wall. Peer pressure. [neatorama]
*Lists: eMusic lists their Top 100 albums of the decade. Wow; The Hold Steady comes in at number two. [spincity]
*Sales: This vending machine sells ideas for $.50. I have been thinking about a similar micro-business: A person would friend me on Facebook and tell me his or her screen names on various social networking sites. I would then examine the person’s digital identity and write up an objective assessment of what his or her spirit object is. [adverlab]
*Meta: I tumblr’d ONE POSSIBLE explanation of my magazine/toilet avatar.
This is somewhat old, but I can’t not post a song played on a broom by a guy wearing taped-up glasses.
OK, weird question here. A little advice around audio recording/podcasting equipment would be helpful. What set-up would a person need to record decent audio once in a while without having to jump through a million hoops?
Note:
-I am retarded.
-I am cheap.
-I’m looking for near-Flip video simplicity…
If you have advice, it would be much appreciated. Comment here or e-mail me at josh [dot] kimball @gmail.com. Or reach me in a bazillion other readily apparent digital ways.
Thank you for your time and attention in this matter!
I wish I really knew what was going on here.

I have to admit that his argument is impeccable. Not all YouTube commenters agree, though – “There’s nothing nice about this man’s mullet, it makes him look like his ass stinks really bad. Just my opinion.”
*Photography: Empty L.A. – where the humans have all been removed from the city – is another illustration of absence. [highindustrial]
*Online: Tumblr is wine, Twitter is crack – what are some other popular internet vices? defined. [coudal]
*Food: Beaver recipes. For preparing beaver. [neatorama]
*Videos: This post linking to all 6 parts about a BBC documentary called “Krautrock” is worth clicking through to for the title alone – “stretchmarks on a rock cabbage.”
Also, Pitchfork has posted the documentary “Ladies and Gentlemen… Mr. Leonard Cohen” for a week. The documentary depicts Mr. Cohen in his days as a poet; before he took up pop music. [mefi]
*Phones: And the next blook deal goes to…”People Talking on Bananas.” (This site should auto-play Raffi singing “Bananaphone” when you open it.) Well, the next one to get a deal AFTER Regretsy. [presurfer]
*Music: Listen to these Singing Science recordings. Clear, earnest, strangely compelling. [coudal]
*Fashion: Whoa. If I were a woman I would totally get a book handbag! I think. (I don’t have any tendencies in that direction.) [craft]
*Today’s links: F
At the Knitting Factory in NYC in 1998???
