Bruce Springsteen, in an interview with 60 minutes:

As an artist, your job is to make your audience care about your obsessions.

Twenty years later, and the dude’s still blowing my mind.

I defy you to get to the end of this video without a giant, ear-to-ear grin plastered on your face. It’s pure, distilled happiness:

Where the Hell is Matt? (2008) from Matthew Harding on Vimeo.

Came across this building while I was walking around DC the other day. It looks like something Dali would have designed, if he’d been an architect:

I’m sure there’s some sort of profound metaphor to draw out of this (the futility of human endeavor? our sagging moral standing in the world? the slow-motion disaster of age?), but it’s escaping me at the moment.

… and possibly the best video for a love song, to boot. Bright Eyes.

Last.fm, a “social music” site, has started streaming full tracks, from thousands of artists, for free. I’m listening to Springsteen’s new album right now. So happy.

Incidentally … is it me, or is “social” the new “i”? For a while there, back in the mid-late 90s, every other mildly internet-related product had a little “e” tacked onto the beginning of its name. Then Apple ushered in the era of the “i”, setting off a mini-apocalypse of i-products and — even worse — endless i-puns. That seems to have petered out, thank god, but now the success of MySpace and FaceBook has given us a stultifying cavalcade of “social something” sites. Hey guys! Bandwagon much?
