What are you most looking forward to in February?
March. Honestly, February is still a freezing-line month, and I’ve been waiting months already to to smoke a cigar on my porch without wearing a parka and mittens. The best thing that can happen to February is March. ;)
Go on, ask another - I dare you.

[I haven’t read Camus in a while and I don’t recall anything specific he wrote about democratic elections, but this quote reminded me of his essays on resistance; now I’m curious to find out.]

Now, I love #DeutschNepal, so I’d hope this track was meant as an homage to #Swans “Blood and Honey” - if not, then I’d be very disappointed!

Michigan has igloos too, America! →
It’s obviously cold enough in this photo that it shouldn’t come as a surprise if one were also to see an igloo nearby - but, are there igloos in Michigan?
My point is, please, America, question the Great White Myth of the Canadian North - when it’s cold, we stay indoors (note: houses have doors,) and kill time online - and there’s nothing Nanook about that.

Aforementioned “The Keening” vid reminds me of alternate/fan vid for this All My Faith Lost track, “Sleep Now,” at http://bit.ly/fy5sdR.
listening to "Jordan Reyne - the Keening Song" →
Personal favourite from the exceptional @JordanReyne; thx to @ludovicaa for RT. Vid similar to NIN Fragile imagery, only less MTV, more earnest.
