art that helped make my day, etc.

Here's some of what I've been looking at today:

Enjoyed and appreciated each in different ways. Nothing I went ga-ga over, but just more from the seemingly endless banks of pop-surrealism (with a few other touches thrown in...Pop-Sur is getting stretched to include a LOT of things these days...)

Listening and enjoying:

MGMT (still absorbing...and digging)
She & Him (Zooey Deschanel singing Swing Low Sweet Chariot is a new favorite...gets me a little misty :)
The Raconteurs (new album...an improvement over the first, which was underwhelming)

Reading and enjoying:

Spook Country by William Gibson
The Demolished Man by Alfred Bester
The Internet (oh man...between relevant politics of the national and international variety, continuing leaps in science and technology, and the NBA playoffs, I'm swimming hard to keep up...saying nothing of my artistic and philosophical readings...oui...)
