Year 2010

Wuthering VHS

My friend Jordyn has written an exhaustive guide to every film and TV adaptation of the 1847 novel Wuthering Heights. She compares and critiques every one of the leads against the book and against themselves. The reviews average about 1,000 words.

Wuther copy

Her guide is exhaustive but ultimately incomplete because she is ignoring the best adaptation of the novel to date. The Kate Bush music video. Canonize it!

Things I Will Buy My Nephew: Part 2

LP5287-SoundOfSpeedAn orchestral tribute to wheels, wings, and whirly-birds, Bob Thompson’s 1960 “concept” LP rhapsodizes about the technology of human transport, from Vespa scooters to Le Mans racers, from tricycles to rocket ships. Each vehicular vignette is book-ended by authentic sound effects, with vivid stereo motion.

Listen to some clips!

Birthday Lunch

My parents took McK and I out to lunch at the No Sweat for my birthday. Ah! It was great! I had to finish it all.

Lehel Kovács: Street View Travel Posters

Via Words and Eggs:

Lehel Kovács is a Hungary-based freelance illustrator, and his recent Google Street View series of sketches is deservedly catching lots of internet attention lately. Some of my favorites appear below, but I strongly encourage you all to visit his website, Flickr stream, and blog for more (and I am so grateful for just how much more there is!)
