Given the transition of Faceless Day into a new face for raincoaster, this seems like a good time to introduce this video by Franco-Canuck Mylene Farmer. It’s the first song that made me aware of her, and it only did that because of the awesome power of this particular video, which just happens to be [...]

I didn’t write this, Lennie James did, but I’m glad to have this opportunity to pass it along (an Open Letter is Open, right?). This appeared in the Guardian a few days ago, but realistically I can’t think of a time or place in any city that this wouldn’t be important to read.
To whom it [...]

Everything old is goo again!
(I had to; it was there)
Yes, GenX’s favorite toy (besides Pong, that is) is celebrating its thirtieth birthday this year. As with everything and everyone who turns that undeniably-adult age, its tastes have changed over time to something more…sophisticated?

I’ve been waiting for this to hit YouTube: the trailer for a documentary of an archetypal American character, the freewheeling intellectual.

Yep, this is pretty much how it is lately.
From Worth1000.com’s Fun With Propaganda contest

Job posting of the year, this one.
