Menswear, symmetrical framing, and Bill Murray are why I can’t quit you, Wes Anderson.

Bill Murray, Eric Anderson artwork, and what about those long, horizontal panning shots [technical term?]?

Bill Murray Interview - Esquire.

Never not in complete admiration.

Glazed and Infused [take a moment to appreciate the name] is Chicago’s newest addition to the doughnut scene. Stopped by the Wicker Park location this morning, operating out of the back window of Francesca’s Forno, and picked up a Chocolate-Glazed and Red Velvet. Apologies to my trusty Dunkin’ lady, but the old-fashioned treats were quite tasty, and not too sweet! They open pretty early [got there around 7] and stay open fairly late as well, perfect for those 2AM munchies! YUM X

Anyone need anything from Trader Joe’s? Seems a bit ridiculous to make the trip simply for some peanut butter. But it’s not like I can eat my celery without it.

I gots the day off today.

We’ll make this brief, because it hurts too much.

During the first year of Air France, somewhere in the middle of the last decade, everything seemed to come so easily. At least it feels like that right now. We’d meet on friday nights to drink wine, listen to music and picture ourselves far off, somewhere on the outskirts on the big map Henrik had on his wall. The songs we made during those nights weren’t really supposed to ever leave the hard drive, but somehow they did, and somehow they took us to almost all the places on that big map we had dreamt about. We got to play records at the Rough Trade store in London, we went to the Red Square, we woke up on Iceland during a volcanic eruption, we drank beer at the cliffs of the Niagara, we spent a night in a freezing staircase in Warzaw (otherwise a fantastic weekend), we saw dolphins in the waters of LA, we got a smile from Larry David as he passed us on a street in Paris, watching us trying to open a bottle of wine, we played records for 4 hours under a blistering July sun in New York, we spent a day in the most beautiful spa in Budapest, we’ve heard our nervous voices on radio and TV, we’ve played records after two sold out Saint Etienne shows (but to be honest, only a handful stayed behind to see us), we’ve written a song together with our idol Clare Grogan (although we did managed to botch it) and we got sampled by Lil B. But it’s the little moments that has been the most dear to our hearts, like the days and nights in Brackenbury Village that we spent in our manager’s back yard with his wonderful wife and sons, who made us feel like part of the family, or being drunk on airplanes, just the two of us, and all the people we’ve been fortunate enough to get to know, if only for a night.

And we have probably produced 7 albums since No Way Down; a UK Garage record, a house record, an r ‘n’ b record… but we’ve never been able to finish anything, nothing was ever good enough. We have tried so hard, and we truly gave it all we had. And now we have decided to stop trying, even though it breaks our hearts. But for all the reasons mentioned above, and for a thousand more, we don’t regret a thing.

We wish we could thank all the people who has helped and inspired us, but we’d probably forget to mention half of you, so here’s just a big thank you to those who were involved in the making of the record: Teresa and Kajsa for singing so beautifully, Angelica of Body Language for lending her voice to a song that would have been called “I always think about you when I’m drunk”, our patron Kevin Campbell who helped us in giving this record one last chance (there are no words that can describe just how grateful we are), our Eric of Sincerely Yours, our manager David Laurie, our publisher XL, Joe for running our facebook page.

And much love to Rich Thane, families and girlfriends, sister Hanna, Henning Fürst, Marc Hogan, all of you who sent us letters, all of you who stuck around to watch us play, and all of you who opened your homes and hearts and cars and took us to water falls, big squares, beaches, record stores, monuments, valleys, mountains and zoos.

Goodbye for now. Who knows, maybe we’ll see you again in another shape. After all, we’re people that never stop dreaming.

Hah Abed & Troy’s “normal” act from tonight’s Community reminded me of this scene from IT Crowd. Weirdos.

MINE. Bring it on, SPRING!
Temperatures hitting the upper 70s this week in Chicago, say what?!

This MIGHT be a contender against Noah’s Fingah Gunz…

Since Uganda is getting a lot of interest on the internet right now, I figured it was important to try to present an alternative source of information. Invisible Children is, as many already know, a highly problematic organization, but that shouldn’t stop you from trying to help. Here are some other sources of information, statistics, and ways to donate/help.

• American Progress’s 2007 report, “What to Do About Joseph Kony”
• Amnesty International’s 2011 report on Uganda
• Global Security’s page on the Lord’s Resistance Army
• Washington Post, “A Child’s Hell in the Lord’s Resistance Army,” May 2006.
• HRW: “Protect civilians from LRA abuses,” May 2011
• AllAfrica.com, “Amnesty International wants Kony arrested,” May 2010
• AI’s Uganda Portal
• Human Rights Watch’s Uganda portal
• Democracy Now!’s Uganda portal

Even the voiceless deserve justice. Watch and take action to help change the course of history.

KONY 2012 is a film and campaign by Invisible Children that aims to make Joseph Kony famous, not to celebrate him, but to raise support for his arrest and set a precedent for international justice.
