It was a very hard day for Rubén Adrián Fernández. I trust he has rested somewhat since.

The Twilight Zone – The Obsolete Man

In a future totalitarian state, Romney Wordsworth is a man put on trial for the crime of being obsolete. His occupation as a librarian is a crime punishable by death as the State has eliminated books and literacy. He believes in God, a crime also punishable by death, as the State claims to have proven that there is no God. He is prosecuted by the Chancellor, who announces in front of the assembled court that Wordsworth, in not being an asset to the State, shall be liquidated.

As my good friend Troy the Goblin, who originally spotted the link below, said, ¨there isn’t anything of TV these days that is as poignant as this fifty year episode.¨ Holler if you disagree.

Third Man Record Booth

Jack White is a straight up don, no doubt. Got style an’ panache.
Check this, the man has a record booth set up in his store. Yes, a record booth, you seen them in films back in the day….okay, maybe you didn’t. I saw one in a film a month ago, so maybe I think everybody is the same.

Regardless, they are super rare, apparently the one Jack has is the only operating one known to exist. So in celebration of Record Store Day, of which Jack is this years ambassador, “On Saturday, April 20th, Jack White and Third Man Records will unveil their Third Man Recording Booth, a refurbished 1947 Voice-o-Graph machine that records up to 2 minutes of audio and dispenses a one-of-a-kind 6″ phonograph disc to the user. Whether it be a song, a message to a lover, an audio postcard or just the curiosity of a process that has mystified so many folks for ages, the ability to “hear yourself as others hear you” is not only a tagline here…it’s an invitation, a charge, a call to arms.”

Dig it.

Radiohead: The National Anthem live on SNL

Thom Yorke intoxicated with a spirit, my kinda performance. There’s nothing like letting go on stage, highly recommended.

As for the other band members are so into their parts as well, makes a great whole.
