Grizzly Bear+Feist- Service Bell (from Dark was the Night Compilation)

“ Man tries to make for himself in the fashion that suits him best a simplified and intelligible picture of the world; he then tries to some extent to substitute this cosmos of his for the world of experience, and thus to overcome it. This is what the painter, the poet, the speculative philosopher, and the natural scientists do, each in his own fashion. Each makes this cosmos and its construction the pivot of his emotional life, in order to find in this way peace and security which he can not find in the narrow whirlpool of personal experience. ”

- Albert Einstein

I'm never sure if he's complimenting me...

One of my nearest and dearest friends has also apparently also picked up Infinite Jest for the summer about which he said:

“Reminds me of you…. very writerly, but like a writer who doesn’t own anything to write on or with.”

Thirteen Year Old Kid Reviews Walkman

You’ve got to love this story of a 13-year-old kid reviewing an original Sony Walkman:

It took me three days to figure out that there was another side to the tape. That was not the only naive mistake that I made; I mistook the metal/normal switch on the Walkman for a genre-specific equaliser, but later I discovered that it was in fact used to switch between two different types of cassette.
