This Week in Cool Stuff

Pete wrote this last week & it was supposed to post, but didn't (booo)...so in lieu of Weekend Stuffs, without even further delay, here's a post of last week's cool stuff!

Hey y'all, howsabout a weekly roundup of news & cool stuff we came across?

1. Firstly, HOLY CRAP how good is that new Sufjan record Esme posted ? We can't stop listening to it! I'm actually sort of MAD at how amazing it is.

2. Here's a mix of some ridiculously funky, sweaty soul music I made. It's good weekend music. Please enjoy.

3. We've really been digging animal photographer Sharon Montrose, in particular her photos of Uma, a beautiful three-legged Great Dane.

4. Saturday, August 21st is...Happy Earth Overshoot Day! Okay, so it's actually really depressing. Basically, every single thing we collectively do past this date depletes our collective environmental capital & puts us into ecological debt. Meaning we are living in a highly unsustainable way on this planet. So, holy crap, there's really nothing happy about it. Not trying to be a drag here, but this news is a bit sobering. I guess it's a good thing Global Warming is nothing but an elaborate hoax (great piece, Mark Morford).

5. Okay, last environmental thing for today, promise. Here is an amazing mockumentary on the migratory habits of the majestic plastic bag, courtesy of Heal the Bay. We laugh to keep the tears away.

6. And finally, here is a blog by Eray (with some amazing photography of course) from her trip to San Francisco earlier this month. Can't wait to see yr face next month, Eray!
