"It's So Cold In The D"
One of those rare instances where something on YouTube is so crucial that I have no choice but to share it here. This comes to me by way of Chantelle, as all the best ones do.

A short film starring my friend, Anthony.

The Century of the Self
"Adam Curtis' acclaimed series examines the rise of the all-consuming self against the backdrop of the Freud dynasty. To many in both politics and business, the triumph of the self is the ultimate expression of democracy, where power has finally moved to the people. Certainly the people may feel they are in charge, but are they really? The Century of the Self tells the untold and sometimes controversial story of the growth of the mass-consumer society in Britain and the United States. How was the all-consuming self created, by whom, and in whose interests? The Freud dynasty is at the heart of this compelling social history. Sigmund Freud, founder of psychoanalysis; Edward Bernays, who invented public relations; Anna Freud, Sigmund's devoted daughter; and present-day PR guru and Sigmund's great grandson, Matthew Freud." -SourceClick here to read the full summary of the series at the BBC FOUR website

I've gotten myself immersed in the world of Boxer — the new album from the National. I've got Will to thank for dropping it in my stack. Having brought it home to review, and thus giving it several thorough listens, I've become quite enamored with it (as is likely evidenced by my last.fm charts for the week!). The National sound very similar to Tindersticks, so it is no surprise that their music gets behind my eyes and pushes the same buttons.
Here are some lyrics and a live video.
The Son of S—…
And so it came to pass one day, that S— and an unknown female did bear a child together; and saw that it was good—no—strange… it was really fucking strange. And so unto this Earth the two did bestow their only Son (more endearingly obnoxious than the people had ever seen before) so that everyone who believes in Him may not perish but may have eternal life.
