New song from a band I like a bunch:

Bearsuit - Steven Fucking Spielberg (MP3)
from Oh:Io on Fantastic Plastic

Loads of new entries in my ongoing Yoda theme sketchbook from this past weekend’s Stumptown Comics Fest (click thumbnails for credits and more info on Flickr):

1. New Sloan album in June! 4 Andrew songs!

2. Stereolab signed to 4AD! My 20-year-old self just high-fived my 23-year-old self!

3. My Bloody Valentine to headline mind-blowing festival in U.S. for rich people! Photophonic last blog in the world to mention it!

The A.V. Club rediscovers Unrest. The accompanying Eurythmics song they put up as a comparison is pretty boss, too, believe it or not. Some shoegazer band, get on covering that, stat!

Good: the fact of their existence! Bad: they’re blind boxed! Not that it really matters, since I’m too poor to be buying toys, but I sure wouldn’t want to end up with Squidbillies when what I really want is Avenger. CAW! Via The Beat, again.

Click the photo for more on Flickr. From the same Lego builder behind the Lego heroes series. Via The Beat.

I just uploaded about a month’s worth of random cameraphone shots (just 7, really) to Flickr.

I received the following email from Amazon.com today:

My first thought was “April Fool!” but it’s a day late for that, and the link goes to a real listing for the book.
