I have spent the last 45 minutes on Patrick Moberg’s site (I know, most of tumblr knows him as “patrick” but I can’t call someone I’ve never met by just thier first name, I blame Mr. Spenader in 5th grade for making me memorize that rule), I had forgot how much I love his work.

squashed:

The Boston Globe made this cloud of McCain and Obama’s campaign blogs’ most frequently used words. It’s pretty amazing. The most frequently used word of both campaigns is “Obama.” In the world of soundbites and shouting pundits, it’s interesting to see that McCain’s campaign seems to focus on tearing down Obama rather than offering anything positive. Most of his biggest words are also from attacks on Obama. (Visit, Canceled, Hospital, Tires, Opposed, Troop, Drilling.)

The Obama tag cloud is almost a parody of Obama. Common words include Obama, feel, future, change, inspired, can, hope, grassroots, and America. Of course, if you look at the smaller words, you can see hints of actual discussion about meatier issues.

“Brian Eno and I recently finished our first collaboration in about 30 years. For the most part, Brian did the music and I wrote some tunes, words and sang. It’s familiar but completely new as well. We’re pretty excited. The name of the new record is Everything That Happens Will Happen Today and the music will be available on this Web site on August 18th”

It’s another 90’s Friday at Marco.org! Here are the Crash Test Dummies with God Shuffled His Feet.

It’s from their 1993 album of the same name. You know Mmm Mmm Mmm Mmm and possibly Afternoons and Coffeespoons from the radio.

This is my strangest musical quirk, by far. I like the Crash Test Dummies. I admit it. Not all of their albums are good — just the first three.

Apparently they were very popular in Canada, where they’re from, but I’ve never met anyone in the U.S. who knew any of their non-radio songs — except once. When we met with Vimeo for the Tumblr API integration last fall, Jakob Lodwick was playing A Worm’s Life in his office. It’s the only time I’ve ever heard anyone else playing their music in the last 15 years.

Their airy pop-rock sound is impossible to compare to any other well-known bands, and their whimsical lyrics are odd and ridiculous. If I had to pick one song of theirs to be the best, it’s this one. Headphones and relaxation recommended. Enjoy!

rickyv:

I saw Patrick reading The Fountainhead today and so I asked him to respond to any email I write to him this week in the voice of someone who just stared reading The Fountainhead for the first time.

E-mail from me to Editorial:

Had a meeting with this morning and they really loved our ideas.

Great job, everybody.

E-mail back from Patrick:

I didn’t create those ideas to be loved; I created them so that they could exist.

Use this security check (which I found while using Ticketmaster) and simply refresh the page till you find a name you like. Try it and I’ll bet you’ll find a good one within 5-10 tries.

Reblog the best one you find. Mine was ‘Deputy Revolution’.

I liked “Earned War.” Third refresh.

Five later — “Harold Resigned.” Good find, Blake!

Injustice Disco, well played good sir.
