"I hear the bitterns shriek, the dragons cry; / I see the shadow of the midnight owl / Gliding"

Annnnd we're back from the funeral of (and the start of cleaning up after) my father-in-law. I've no clue what's been happening in the lesser world of my f-list or the greater world of, well, the world. Too tired to care. (I did, however, enjoy the moment as we were preparing to depart for the airport when we realized that there was a random SF convention at our hotel: members of our tribe, wandering about.) And too tired of this cold we both picked up.

So have some divertimenti:

Céu is a Brazilian pop singer-songwriter with a lovely voice and downtempo music perfect for writing to, and her label is on Bandcamp -- which means her albums are available streaming. (link via)

I don't understand it and the video is more than a little disturbing, but I like this song by Deserts Chang. (via, which has other other good stuff)

Another HD timelapse: Yosemite. (via)

So you both came home with con crud despite not getting any con? Truly, it is a powerful thing.

I heard a group on the radio the other day whom you guys might like: DakhaBrakha. There's an album on iTunes and stuff on YouTube as well. Weirdly compelling Ukrainian ethno-techo-folko-I-don't-know but it was very very interesting.

Do not mock the power of the Force.

I'd call that techno-ethnic myself. Weird, creepy, and excellent, judging by their Bandcamp offereings. Thanks!
