I have had this poster, in yellow, hanging in my house for quite some time now…well over a year. It is so simple, and I like the message. For me, it gave a sort of “keep going” golden, cheery push to my life. Now, after this article, I view it in a different light with a tone of submission in the message. Still love it either way.

I like the piano. And, free music.

Here is a beautiful cover of Kanye West’s Can’t Tell Me Nothing, performed by Francis and the Lights.

You can download all of Francis’s music in one big zip file for the next 14 days.

I would love to acquire this leaked album…so good. Enjoy.

A lot of people liked the old version of “Kids” by The Management (now MGMT) I posted a few months ago. Here is my favorite song of theirs from the same leaked 2005 demo-album “Climbing to New Lows”. It’s called We Care. I love how these guys really try… they didn’t wait until they were pros to start kicking ass.

I’m working on web programming and I’ve been listening to them all day long on my headphones.

The chairs are so eerie. Such cheery objects in the middle of all the mental grime.

jakelodwick:

The designboom blog write about photographer Christopher Payne’s new book, Asylum: Inside the Closed World of State Mental Hospitals,

a collection of large-format photographs of seventy institutions in thirty US states, shot between 2002 and 2008. massive state-funded mental hospitals, built to warehouse the mentally ill, were a feature of the american landscape for centuries. emptied out in the 1970s and 80s, they now sit abandoned.

I liked this comment, from “zenondudasculpture.com”:

While it may be true that many of these institutions now lay empty what is also true is that the restraints of straps and walls is now replaced by drugs.

My Favorite SMS From The Other J:

My spirit is always there but sometimes my body is not. Fear not though as i will reappear when the third moon rises to the east but not a moment before.
