Short Post and a Song #40: This is perhaps why I've never pursued a career in directing.


When I was in sixth grade I directed a play at my school about Rosa Parks. And let me tell you, it is not fun to be the kid who has to explain (repeatedly) to ten other incredibly sheltered white Ohio children why doing a play in blackface would be a HORRIBLE idea.

"Feels Like We Only Go Backwards" by Tame Impala




Tame Impala reminds me a lot of one of my all-time favorite bands, the Beatles, and that's not a comparison that I make lightly. Frontman Kevin Parker has a distinctly John Lennon-ish vibe to his voice and music. And like the Beatles' post-Revolver music videos, Tame Impala's music videos have the power to convince a stone cold sober person that he or she must be on some kind of drugs.

  1. Your weird little Ohio childhood makes me smile. As does your stellar taste in music. I always look forward to having something good to listen to on Sundays :)
