Downloading the new "Frightened Rabbit" from eMusic, the sample tracks sound amazing.

Odd shadow

Camphor - Immolation

I heard one of Camphor’s songs while looking around our recently amazingly redesigned HD channel on Vimeo (thanks Jack!). After seeing their video for castaway, I immediately bought their album from Amazon.

The album is pretty good, kind of all over the place. One track sounds like a Spanish sea shanty, another sounds a lot like “I am trying to break your heart.” All in all, worth the price.

This track is one of my favorites. Whenever I see the track length (4:46), it strikes me as a bit long, but it’s well worth the wait.

I fear that my beard is not long for this world.

Is It Better to Buy or Rent? - New York Times

Very interesting chart about the economics of buying vs renting. I'm not sure I've totally wrapped my head around it, but it's very interesting.

Vimeo is about to drink my (upload) milkshake.

Not that it's cold in the Vimeo office today, but sean is wearing a winter jacket, hat and scarf at his desk. Peter is building a fire.

I like to think I have a sophisticated sense of humor. But, I also like to lie to myself. For example, it’s quite rare for me to watch America’s Funniest Home videos without laughing so hard that I cry.

It’s precisely this reason that I maintain the lowest brow channel on all of vimeo: Oops. A channel of blooper videos collected from around the Vimeo.

I encourage you to go have a look. Although it can be pretty brutal at times, I try very hard to keep it clean. There is no blood and the payoff in all the videos happens in the first few seconds. Then, if you’re lucky, it happens again and again.

My personal favorite, and the inspiration of the whole channel is the video called “After School Special.” At the moment, it’s on page 4.
