The World Is Not Only Beautiful...

I am a sucker for monuments, and a sucker for shiny, modern objects stuck in the midst of charming, old world cities (or dropped in the middle of nowhere nature). So how I missed the opening of the Dublin Spire, I don't know. Just adding to my list of reasons to visit Dublin, I guess.

In the meantime, while we're sitting at home in front of our computers on a Friday night drinking beer because we're too lazy to go see The Walkmen up in Williamsburg, why don't you check these out:

- An interview with the foxiest band in Brooklyn, Fur Cups For Teeth, who are back in action this fall;
- The Says-It Mix Tape Generator;
- Alyson Fox's excellent drawings, courtesy of JG's blog;
- Listen to "Myriad Harbor," one of the Dan Bejar tracks on the new Challengers album by the New Pornographers, and my current favorite song of the moment;
- And just so I don't have to say it again (and again), the best blog on the Internet right now: Paleo Future (aka, holy shit did we miss the mark!!!)
