Beneath an Abandoned Hospital: Thoughts from Places

Ransom Riggs' 1st novel, Miss Peregrine's Home for Peculiar Children is awesome. It is a narrative constructed around a handful of VERY odd old tyme pictures. I wrote about it after I read it here. Riggs is also a travel writer and has a WONDERFUL youtube channel that is slightly akin to one of my favorite websites, Forbidden Places, which is kind of a photographic foray into lost and forgotten urban places all over the world. This video, posted on the VlogBrothers youtube channel is an adventure with Riggs in a forgotten hospital. Fantastic.

Toy Fair 2013: Mattel Masters of the Universe Classics Castle Grayskull ...

This was on ainitcoolnews earlier today. Bad ass version of something I loved as a kid.

Man... or Astro Man?

In honor of the upcoming tour dates, which can be seen here.

Caught them two years ago for the first time since... late 90's? Still awesome.

Woodkid - I Love You

I missed this when it was released last week. I would not have thought Woodkid possible in topping their last video (Iron). I was wrong.

Some of the most beautiful textures committed to B&W. And the Whales just make it.

Here's Iron too, because I don't think I ever posted it on here:

The Devil's Carnival 2 Teaser

Wire - The Peel Sessions '78

We could talk about the awards show everyone else is talking about. Or we can listen to good music. I think I'll take the latter.
