St. Vincent - “Marrow”16. tUnE-yArDs - “Fiya”17. The Very Best - “Warm Heart of Africa (feat. Ezra Koenig)”18. Washed Out - “Get Up”19. TV on the Radio - “Satellite”
When I told a coworker earlier tonight that I was planning on making her a new mix, I didn’t think I would start and finish it tonight or that it would turn out as well as it did. However as I was listening to some new tunes (tUnE-yArDs which I had avoided up until now because of the horrendous name) I was felt compelled to make her mix tonight. After listening through it once already, I can say this might be one of my favorite mixes I’ve ever made. All songs are from this year except the closing track, which was my introduction to TV on the Radio and after all these years is still my favorite track from them. As with all of my mixes there’s no theme (the title was just copped from the picture I borrowed to make the album art), just a bunch of really fucking good songs (in my opinion).
Get it here.

“These cute little guys will be your best friends as you study for exams in the library! Listen to your metal, rock, R&B, or Country unbeknownst to the librarian in adorable style when you pair them with a cozy cardi and fuzzy booties. Or, take them with you for your Spring Break flight, and you’ll get loads of compliments on the plane when you pair them with your tank top and flip flops!”

I want your handwriting.
Have you ever considered how strange it is that handwriting fonts have come to convey a kind of folksy authenticity in the design lexicon of our age? It’s disingenuous. Handwriting fonts - especially the ones you see everywhere (Comic Sans, Papyrus, Lucida Handwriting) - are mechanically reproduced and manipulated into a kind of cloying, fake, plastic perfection.
Penmanship is mostly a lost art - it is (rightfully) taught less and less in school, and the opportunities for people to see your handwriting are few and far between. As a result, modern handwriting looks really cool. What’s authentic and charming and inviting about real handwriting are the little imperfections that prove it came from a real person.
SO - I have decided to become a collector of handwriting.
Here’s how it works:

You reblog this or email/Facebook me
I’ll arrange for you to pick up a template
You’ll fill it out
I will create a TrueType font from your handwriting and send it to you

As I collect handwriting, I will periodically post things rendered in the handwriting of the donor - things they have taught me, important aspects of our relationship, jokes they have told me… we’ll see.
Please donate today.

Yes!

I would be interested in doing this.
I want to do this so badly
ack, so many notes, but i want to do this so bad too! my handwriting is really inconsistent and weird! i’ll write a letter!

Here’s a rebuke on a white power site.

Broken Social Scene - Almost Crimes (Acoustic).

“Help this love before you leave. Demonstrations lack caress (I wanted to stay there. I got that from you. I told you we’d make it. I got no way in here).”

Acoustic BSS for the end of the night.

“Where Do We Go From Here?” Trailer

Upcoming documentary about Death, the first punk rock band!

A couple of black kids from inner city Detroit revolutionized music…and nobody knew…

“They’re going to need to rewrite the history books” - Tom Mullen of Capitol Records

“These dudes were pre-Sex Pistols, pre-Bad Brains, pre-all that shit, and nobody knows them. I don’t understand how the whole world could forget them.” - Mos Def

“When I was told the history of the band and what year they recorded this music, it just didn’t make sense. Ahead of punk, and ahead of their time.” - Jack White of the White Stripes

*I’m going to support this hard, incase you didn’t notice haha*
