Bon Iver's Brand-new Video for "Towers"
Bon Iver – Towers (Official Music Video) from Bon Iver on Vimeo. Incredible video; very post-apocalyptic imagery. I watched it twice and think there’s an environmental theme going on here. What do you think it means?
Funnytime: Portlandia's "How to Recycle Everything"
I was raised in the great state of New York, but as a teenager in the 90’s, I totally idolized the Pacific Northwest – everything from the music (Temple of the Mother Love Bone JamGarden!) to the clothes (plaidplaidplaid) to the beer. I even thought the guys from there were…
10 Simple Ways to Reuse That Gift Wrap this Holiday!

Digby and Iona: Handmade Jewelry with a Whimsical Touch
Aaron Ruff, the designer behind Digby & Iona, in his Brooklyn studio.
