Señorita.

I've been in Mexico for a couple weeks so it's on the brain... lots of beauty to be inspired by.

Obama. Etch 'A' Sketch.

...if you haven't already seen it.

This fantastic novel by Philip Roth is being made into a movie - directed by Phillip Noyce. Being that this is one of my favorite novels I'm not quite sure if I'm excited or worried about this news... definitely look forward to reading reviews once its out.

The cover art is a detail of the 1559 painting Netherlandish Proverbs by Pieter Bruegel the Elder. Vocalist/guitarist Robin Pecknold said:
"When you first see that painting it’s very bucolic, but when you look closer there’s all this really strange stuff going on, like dudes defecating coins into the river and people on fire, people carving a live sheep, this weird dude who looks like a tree root sitting around with a dog. There’s all this really weird stuff going on. I liked that the first impression is that it’s just pretty, but then you realise that the scene is this weird chaos. I like that you can’t really take it for what it is, that your first impression of it is wrong."

Sweet cover... great band.
