Morphing Art

John Connell linked to this lovely YouTube video of depictions of women in art, created by Philip Scott Johnson¹.

Search on YouTube shows that he's done a lot more like this - but I think this one works best.

¹Looking at Philip Scott Johnson's MySpace page reminds me how much I dislike MySpace, and how glad I am that I never went there to play.

No Elvis, Beatles or the Rolling Stones

I was just listening to TNK (Tomorrow Never Knows) - on the radio. The original, by the Beatles, from Revolver.

It occurred to me that, for a child of the sixties, there are some large holes in my record collection: I have not one CD by the Beatles; nor the Rolling Stones, nor, in honour of Mr Strummer, Elvis (Presley, that is; I have loads by Costello, more than I know what to do with).

I probably have tracks by them, and I have a lot of tracks written by them, but no albums.

Not one.

I just looked at Revolver on Amazon, thinking maybe I should rectify this omission, but frankly the only tune that I would listen to would be TNK. So I think I'll just leave to the radio.

Sunny Hundal, on Liberal Conspiracy, has posted about an interview with John McCain by Time.

The interview makes for strange reading - it is really quite bizarre.

Edit: the Time interview was conducted before the announcement of Sarah Palin as McCain's running mate. Steph Ashley at Dib Lemming discusses Palin's views on abortion, guns and the death penalty.
