My favorite guys behind the keyboard are Gabriel Andruzzi of The Rapture, Jacob Graham of The Drums, and Oscar Cash of Metronomy. I’ve seen them all live and they showed nifty showmanships. Oh, and all of them have their own amusing dance as the cherry on top.

High Fidelity

  • Louis: I don't have that record. I'll buy it for forty.
  • Rob: Sold.
  • Louis: Now why would you sell it to me and not to him?
  • Barry: Because you're not a geek, Louis.
  • Louis: You guys are snobs.
  • Dick: No, we're not.
  • Louis: Yeah, seriously, you're totally elitist. You feel like the unappreciated scholars, so you shit onto people who know lesser than you.
  • Rob, Barry, Dick: No!
  • Louis: Which is everybody...
  • Rob, Barry, Dick: Yeah...
  • Louis: That's so sad.

In 1963 a 16-year-old high school student by the name of Bruce McAllister set out to settle a dispute with his English teacher over whether symbolism existed as a conscious device authors employed in writing. So he devised a four-question mimeographed survey to probe the issue and mailed it to 150 of the era’s most notable writers. To McAllister’s surprise, he got 75 responses, ranging from the passionate to the reprimanding to the deeply philosophical. My favorite is above Ralph Ellison’s feedback. Click above pic to see some of the best. (via theparisreview)

“Cardinal Sin” by Banksy. I love Banksy for his witty social critiques. Looking forward to see him creating a 140% artwork.
