Another great band, Of Monsters and Men, is coming out with a new album soon and have put out this video of one of the songs.

I love the entire X-Men franchise and have a thing for Wes Anderson so if this trailer actually became a movie, I’d be a huge fan, but probably just laugh through the entire thing.

A short little documentary shot right here in Rochester, NY. It’s not the most visually impressive thing you’ll ever see, but the stories are definitely worth hearing!

These ways of marriage, kinship, friendship, and neighborhood surround us with forbiddings; they are forms of bondage, and involved in our humanity is always the wish to escape … But involved in our humanity also is the warning that we can escape only into loneliness and meaninglessness.

More and more it has seemed to me that the idea of an individual, the idea that there is someone to be known, separate from the relationships, is simply an error.

Neither marriage, nor kinship, nor friendship, nor neighborhood can exist with a life expectancy that is merely convenient.

– Wendell Berry in The Art of the Commonplace | Men and Women in Search of Common Ground p.136

I dig when videos highlight what Africa has rather than what people think the continent needs.
