hindsight
from artist r luke dubois
"Hindsight is Always 20/20 takes the State of the Union address from each presidency and sorts them according to word frequency, generating a Snellen eye chart for each president, with the more frequent words in larger typeface at the top of the chart and the less frequent words towards the bottom. The 66-member word lists for each presidency are designed to draw out the most unique and contemporary vocabulary used by the president in his speeches; words that appear in the majority of speeches (e.g. "united", "states", "the", "his", "her", "am") are cancelled out, as are any words which appear in a previous administration's chart. As a result, the list contains words that are not only important in a given presidency but also au courant in terms of lexicon and contemporary context."

The Diving Bell and The Butterfly
Phenomenal movie. Can't stop thinking about it. And another great soundtrack by Julian Schnabel, including a somewhat surprising track by U2.

Familjen - Det snurrar i min skalle
Since Pitchfork posted the 50 best videos of 2007, I've been more than a little obsessed with this video by Johan Soderberg for Sweden's Familjen.
Johan Soderberg: http://www.soderberg.tv/
Familjen: http://www.myspace.com/familjen
The lyrics:
I….started a fire for you
and now the whole forest is on fire
Now….I know what you are going to say
and it feels just like the first time
Come….let’s show them that it’s us two
but everyone already knows
Out….you run away with me
yeah can you hear them singing
*seizure*
As if….everything was predetermined
as the earth revolving round the sun
Who….would have been able to take my place
he simply doesn’t exist
They….talk of something wonderful
I’m there to tell the story
Large….larger than I ever imagined
the inside of my head is spinning
*seizure*
*repeat verse 1*
