about-today: White Denim, All You Really Have to Do/Mess Your Hair Up Live from Nigel Godrich’s basement Holy crap. I’ve never heard these guys play live before. I expected it to be good. Not this good, though. Holy crap. I’ve already watched it four times. I mean, look how he plays that guitar like a bass at the end. Holy crap.

thedailywhat: Brand new Watchmen theatrical trailer. (via.) YES. Also what is that like Thom Yorke singing over Philip Glass? ALSO YES. [update: okay apparently it’s a Muse song, but in my defense dude definitely seems to channel some yorke-emote here and there, plus it was so backgrounded in the trailer.  ANYWAYS.  You can hear the whole thing here.]

Most Psychiatric Conditions The Same Disorder? →
tumbledore: “Their idea is, in broad outline, straightforward. Dr. Crespi and Dr. Badcock propose that an evolutionary tug of war between genes from the father’s sperm and the mother’s egg can, in effect, tip brain development in one of two ways. A strong bias toward the father pushes a developing brain along the autistic spectrum, toward a fascination with objects, patterns, mechanical systems,...

(via thisrecording) “The society may be drowned in lusts, steeped in low passions, rolling in filth and dirt, thinking that it has enjoyment and freedom from chains and restrictions. Such a society may become devoid of any clean enjoyment and even of lawful food, and nothing may remain except a rubbish heap, or dirt and mud. The Believer from his height looks at the people drowning in dirt...
