Vampire Weekend - Step
“Boston. Fucking horrible.
I remember, when 9/11 went down, my reaction was, “Well, I’ve had it with humanity.”
But I was wrong. I don’t know what’s going to be revealed to be behind all of this mayhem. One human insect or a poisonous mass of broken sociopaths.
But here’s what I DO know. If it’s one person or a HUNDRED people, that number is not even a fraction of a fraction of a fraction of a percent of the population on this planet. You watch the videos of the carnage and there are people running TOWARDS the destruction to help out. (Thanks FAKE Gallery founder and owner Paul Kozlowski for pointing this out to me). This is a giant planet and we’re lucky to live on it but there are prices and penalties incurred for the daily miracle of existence. One of them is, every once in awhile, the wiring of a tiny sliver of the species gets snarled and they’re pointed towards darkness.
But the vast majority stands against that darkness and, like white blood cells attacking a virus, they dilute and weaken and eventually wash away the evil doers and, more importantly, the damage they wreak. This is beyond religion or creed or nation. We would not be here if humanity were inherently evil. We’d have eaten ourselves alive long ago.
So when you spot violence, or bigotry, or intolerance or fear or just garden-variety misogyny, hatred or ignorance, just look it in the eye and think, “The good outnumber you, and we always will.”
— Mr. Rogers
so god damn cool. god damn.
Promo for Daft Punk’s new album (ft Pharrell and Nile Rodgers)
I have to say, I fucking love Daft Punk. I don’t just mean their music, which is fantastic, but their whole “thing”. It makes me so happy to see an idea like this succeed on a HUGE level. Two guys who shed their identities to become “robots”, yet they pull it off in the absolute best way. I must have watched this promo 20 times already, loving the music, but I’m in awe of how effortlessly cool it is.
Now to wait a month for the album to come out….
