Born Ruffians have put two new songs up on their MySpace page - “Hummingbird” and “Kurt Vonnegut.” Both are from a single due out in October that is a prelude to their debut album “Red, Yellow and Blue,” which is due out next year. They’ve also posted their cover of Grizzly Bear’s “Knife,” which I thoroughly dig. If you haven’t heard it yet, I’ll post it below.
Eh, it’s kind of a slow day on the internets. So, I thought I would share another ace track from the upcoming The Darjeeling Limited Soundtrack

Hypeful’s six month anniversary is right around the corner and I am very honored that it has received its first blogging nomination! Wahoo! Okiedoke is hosting the 2007 Okie Blog Awards and Hypeful has been nominated for Best Culture Blog. This nomination is such a unique honor because the awards were established by and are decided by Oklahoma bloggers exclusively. If you are currently an Oklahoma blogger, I would be very appreciative of your vote. The voting period ends on September 26 and you can check out the full list of nominees here. Thanks!
Sean Collins got a bunch of comic artists to draw their renditions of David Bowie in his sketchbook and compiled them into a Flickr set. Check out this cool art project - there are some ace sketches of Bowie.
