But instead I'll just post this strange link to <a href="http://www.reversibledestiny.org/Reversible_Destiny_-_Arakawa_and_Gins_-_We_Have_Decidede_Not_to_Die/Architecture_Against_Death.html">Architecture Against Death.</a>

I don't know what to think of it.

But I think they might make great Sims.

Inside Insides is a blog that features the magnetic resonance imaging of foods.  I can't tell you which is the most beautiful -- the cucumber, the cantelope, or the orange.

Also, you can find a Henry Thomas mix on YouTube, and a Bascom Lamar Lunsford one, and a Clarence Ashley one.  It turns out that when I'm not thinking about it, I will generally sing something I learned off a Clarence Ashley 78 record when I was a kid.

There's a special spot in my my brain for that three-finger banjo picking sound.  Or even Uncle Dave Macon's clawhammer thing.   Anyway, it's home sweet home to me, even though I'm not at all a Southerner: it's the soundtrack of my childhood.

Edit:

And the Dixon Brothers!  Just go have a listen at <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KyPkwm-Xmog&NR=1">The Intoxicated Rat."</a>

It will change your life.

How can I go to bed -- or do anything else responsible -- when I have found Charlie Poole on You Tube?

Next thing you know, I'm going to find Fiddling John Carson and Moonshine Kate.  Or the Coon Creek Girls.

I'll never leave this chair again.
