I came over to your website while looking for aFelice Brothers song download , but was tangentially interested in the the FONT discussion. Fonts, in general, seem to be a fringe topic. I read novels with a single page describing the font in which the book was printed. My computer has a FONTS directory, a dedicated directory being a fairly exclusive destinction that Microsoft does not give arbitrarily award. I find FONTS interesting, but always seem to feel that they are reverentially regarded, perhaps given more respect than they are due. Am I missing some cultural significance of FONTS? Or are they, to most others, just something that’s interesting as a cultural (pop cultural) byproduct, but nothing more and nothing less? In other words, what am I missing?

Is it me or does the opening guitar line on that Eelctric Owls track sound just Deep Blue Something “Breakfast At Tiffany’s”? …I think I remember the film.

Yet again more great music, love this blog, so glad I found it.
You should really really check out The Leisure Society, I’m just completely obsessed with them right now. Nick Hemming’s lyrics are just amazing.

If you’re interested, I watched a great documentary about the most widely used font in the world, Helvetica, called (surprise!) “Helvetica.” It’s actually quite engaging, features a great soundtrack by El Ten Eleven, and (last I checked) was available instantly online if you are a Netflix user. You might wanna check it out. Enjoy and keep the great music coming.
