From Wikipedia : "Rodeo clowns require speed, agility, and the ability to anticipate a bull's next move. Working closely with very large, very powerful animals, rodeo clowns are often injured seriously, and, sometimes, fatally. Most rodeos feature a clown, and clowns have become crowd favorites."

This post is a shout-out to my friend on his birthday. He hates pigeons. Like, an irrational hate, a shuddering hate, a ducking-when-they-fly-over-his-head hate. It's hilarious and I'm fascinated by it, so I tease him about it. Every time I see something related to pigeons I think of him now.

Tonight is the Micro New Moon, in apogee, the time when the moon is furthest away from the earth. I’m interested in that moment, the tip of the apogee, as it were, when everything stops for that fraction of a second.

Italy has been on vacation for two weeks now, more or less. Walls that were previously invisible behind cafe tables and cars are now open and visible, revealing some nice graffiti. Banksy has a surprise exhibit in Glasgow. It's called "Cut & Run : 25 years card labor".

Tired. Going to bed. Watch The Seventh Seal. It's on YouTube, free. They're going to make you go there anyway, so look for the whole movie. I saw it, it's there. It's a nice Sunday evening drift. I love this song. I love this song. Sogni d'oro.

This post is so sweet it makes my teeth hurt. Do not, I say, do not expect me to post selections like this again. We'll call it shock!pop! and forget it ever happened.

Ecco un sacco of references on a Coldcut digital platter that will go way over your head, not through any lack of yours, but because you would have had to have been there. Again, my own personal history has made me doubt that anyone can really know a time unless you were there breathing the air.

Sit down children, and let me tell you of a time before streaming when there were only three radio stations you could listen to in the car on your way to and from school. No, Trixie, you couldn't choose the songs.
