A day for toil, an hour for sport,
But for a friend is life too short.

Native American Spirit Art
16 July, 2009 by Andrew Rosinski“Transition” by Brian McGovern
Part of a mountain landscape, these Native American rock dudes have transcended, in spirit, to become part of their surrounding landscape. What puzzles me is that these spirits still carry anthropomorphic qualities.
Don’t go out looking for these people — usually the human eye is too tame to see sacred visions — however, the human eye is capable of viewing sacred visions on the internet. Thanks to the internet, we see sacred visions. In summary, don’t go outside looking for spiritual inspiration; stay inside on the internet.

This divine portrait captures the Blue Whale, mid-air, as it launches from the murky depths. Mother whale is making an effort to recharge her spirit — she also needs to feed her babies — this will happen (more…)
Roughlines
9 June, 2009 by Andrew Rosinski
I used to play guitar in a rock band named Tanooki Suit (site). We released three albums, one of which was released on Friction Records — a Michigan label that has released albums from Russian Circles, Bear Vs. Shark, Maps & Atlases, LSDudes — anyway, I forgot that I uploaded a full-album torrent of our album, Roughlines. If you have vuze, or some other torrent program, you can download the full Roughlines album here. Update: torrent down. Download the tracks below.
I dare you to listen; you might like it. If you do listen, send me your thoughts. If you like it, you can buy our other album, a split w/ Victor! Fix the Sun, on iTunes.
Want to know what’s been alternately pissing off and stunning members of such bands as The Forms, Adam’s Castle, The Desert Fathers, Lying in States, and Where the Moon Came From? Check this record for the answer. Formed when the band members were about twelve or thirteen, Tanooki Suit is now a veteran indie band of two releases – and they’ve yet to graduate from high school. “New Brain” – a track that appears on the CP20 Copper Press presents… compilation CD – is an atmospheric stunner that recalls the best work of another teenage band, Eyes of Autumn. While quite naturally still assimilating their influences (which range from the 54º40′ or Fight! catalog to Q and Not U to Cursive to Tortoise and beyond), Tanooki Suit knows how to write a song not drowning in derivativeness; one, in fact, that will leave you perplexed as to why you wasted your teenage years while these cats were laying the foundation for world takeover. —Copper Press

Where is Greta Brawner?
30 May, 2009 by Andrew Rosinski
CSPAN starlet Greta Brawner hasn’t hosted Washington Journal in quite some time. America is starting to worry.
Lately I’ve noticed that individuals are finding my site using search terms such as “Does Greta Brawner still host CSPAN Washington Journal?” and “Did Greta Wodele-Brawner quit Washington Journal?”
To my knowledge, Greta is still one of Washington Journal’s ten known hosts. There are rumors that she may pregnant, but who knows, maybe she’s just writing, or deep sea fishing.
In the meantime, Robb Harleston & Steve Scully will be holding it down.
Birds Trek Toward Portal
20 May, 2009 by Andrew RosinskiDaily Image for Wed, 5/20/2009
Today’s daily found image depicts a flamingo and an ostrich as they make their way through dense, utopian foliage. A portal lies ahead, but do these birds have intentions to enter the portal? Anyone know?

CORRECTION: There are three flamingos and zero ostriches.
