My question of the day: The girl/girls who inspired "Tiny Vessels" on the new Death Cab record. Do you think she/they is/are flattered or completely mortified? I bet it's a combination of both. "You are beautiful, but you don't mean a thing to me." Ouch. Someone in Silver Lake is pissed.

If you're wondering what to get me for my birthday/Christmas for the next 12 1/2 years (that's up until my 41st birthday, folks!), this entire collection from the fabulous Fantagraphics folks would do quite nicely. Link courtesy of Miss Flashing Reds.
