La gorra del presidente

A colleague accosted me today and said: "You. You like hats. Try this one on." And indeed, the hat looked lovingly handmade, and felt wonderfully soft. I wore it the rest of the day and received many compliments.
"My mom sent it to me, but I've got a melon head" he said by way of explanation.

Apropos of explanation, skullphone goes a little way to clearing up how I've seen these awesome wheatpasted posters in San Francisco and London (don't have a photo of the latter, sorry).

Punk as fuck

Lately I've been listening to the American Analog Set's gorgeous fourth album, Know by Heart. The cover is twee, yes, but the songs are dreamy (like Bedhead, say, or Codeine), and a little uptempo and slightly poppy (like Luna, say, or Broadcast).
... and I'm using Sizzling Keys (check the size of the download) to control it all. Ha! Double ha!
