And now, Sigur Rós’s new film, ‘Heima’ in it’s entirety.

Lovely.

If you missed it, sorry. You’ll just have to buy it. Or watch the trailer.

Giles Turnbull on the difficulty of writing his own biography. The punchline: he’s a professional writer.

I found a humorous parallel there to my own struggles as an artist producing artwork for, or about, myself. It’s so much easier to make something for someone else – a friend, a charity, a multinational corporation – than it is to express your own desires. For years my “to-do” lists have included a personal logo & updating something resembling a portfolio, but I always get impatient and distracted and frustrated. And then I procrastinate by making mix CDs for everyone I know.

Tragic.

If you like that essay, you might enjoy the other works there at the Morning News. I’ve gobbled it up, at any rate. And, yes, I did completely poach the spirit of that Turnbull post for my own blog bio – why do you ask?
