Adaptation.
- Charlie Kaufman: There was this time in high school. I was watching you out the library window. You were talking to Sarah Marsh.
- Donald Kaufman: Oh, God. I was so in love with her.
- Charlie Kaufman: I know. And you were flirting with her. And she was being really sweet to you.
- Donald Kaufman: I remember that.
- Charlie Kaufman: Then, when you walked away, she started making fun of you with Kim Canetti. And it was like they were laughing at *me*. You didn't know at all. You seemed so happy.
- Donald Kaufman: I knew. I heard them.
- Charlie Kaufman: How come you looked so happy?
- Donald Kaufman: I loved Sarah, Charles. It was mine, that love. I owned it. Even Sarah didn't have the right to take it away. I can love whoever I want.
- Charlie Kaufman: But she thought you were pathetic.
- Donald Kaufman: That was her business, not mine. You are what you love, not what loves you. That's what I decided a long time ago.

Listen: Johnny Cash - "Ain't No Grave" (Feat. The Avett Brothers)
Johnny Cash is one of the only artists I can think of whose posthumous releases make him seem even more alive. That sounds like a cliché, I know (“singing from beyond the grave,” etc.), but in the case of Cash, it’s just too true to not note. There are two key differences between his final recordings in the American Recordings series and most other posthumously released material: Rick Rubin (obvs) and the fact that Cash almost certainly knew these songs would not be heard by the public until after he was gone.
“Every morning, when he’d wake up, he would call the engineer and tell him if he was physically up to working that day,” Rubin said in a press release about the forthcoming album American VI: Ain’t No Grave. Later, Rubin reveals that doctors once lectured him during Cash’s busy final days, pleading: “He’s not going to stop, so you have to make sure he doesn’t work too much.”
In “Ain’t No Grave,” the title track and first single from Cash’s latest release, Rubin puts the “singing from beyond the grave” idea front and center, adorning lyrics such as “When I hear the trumpets sound / I’m gonna rise right out of the ground / Ain’t no grave can hold my body down” with a sample of percussive, rattling chains. Later on the track, Seth and Scott Avett contribute banjo and footsteps, à la “God’s Gonna Cut You Down.”
I could rant and rave about this—or any Johnny Cash—song all day, so you better head over to Lost Highway now to stream “Ain’t No Grave” thataway before I get going.
Haunting. Miss you JC.

Listening to this album right now and loving it.
“Arthur (Or the Decline and Fall of the British Empire) extends the British-oriented themes of Village Green Preservation Society, telling the story of a London man’s decision to move to Australia during the aftermath of World War II. It’s a detailed and loving song cycle, capturing the minutiae of suburban life, the numbing effect of bureaucracy, and the horrors of war. On paper, Arthur sounds like a pretentious mess, but Ray Davies’ lyrics and insights have rarely been so graceful or deftly executed, and the music is remarkable. An edgier and harder-rocking affair than Village Green, Arthur is as multi-layered musically as it is lyrically. “Shangri-La” evolves from English folk to hard rock, “Drivin’” has a lazy grace, “Young and Innocent Days” is a lovely, wistful ballad, “Some Mother’s Son” is one of the most uncompromising antiwar songs ever recorded, while “Victoria” and “Arthur” rock with simple glee. The music makes the words cut deeper, and the songs never stray too far from the album’s subject, making Arthur one of the most effective concept albums in rock history, as well as one of the best and most influential British pop records of its era.”

One of my top 10 desert albums. It’s just so damned listenable.

I must own this.
(Or not. It’s $66 friggen dollars from some boutique store in the UK. I can have one made for cheaper than that. So in a sense, it’s ironic, that while the sentiment of the shirt is amazing, I’m not happy about the price.)

Bored with his ad agency gig and the uninspiring work he was producing, Ji Lee – now Creative Director of Google Creative Lab – decided to take matters into his own hands in 2002. The result was the ad-spoofing Bubble Project, in which Lee placed blank speech bubbles on ads around New York City. The masses responded and the project went viral, gaining Lee recognition and ultimately forwarding his professional career. Here, Lee talks about how he created, financed, and marketed the project single-handedly.
