“Big Spender” - Theophilus London featuring A$AP Rocky
I’m digging the Shirley Bassey sample and chorus:
Good lookin’, so refined
Say wouldn’t you like to know whats going on in my mind?
So let me get right to the point
I don’t pop my cork for every guy I see
Hey Big Spender
Spend a little time with meBut when that beat drops, damn.

It’s really good. Nice to see such a voracious appetite for this lately, in the footsteps of Sharon Jones and the Dap Kings and Fitz and the Tantrums -
Yup, yup.
Totally digging on this interactive Q&A series the Camper with Emirates Team New Zealand team has been hosting over the past week via Facebook and Soundcloud while they make their way to Brazil. Here, navigator Will Oxley answers a number of questions, including one I had about how he’d describe his sextant skillz these days.
El Jaleo - John Singer Sargent, 1882
On the to do list: visiting the Isabella Stewart Gardner Museum in Boston. Here’s a short documentary about the museum streaming on Hulu.
The sun was warm but the wind was chill.
You know how it is with an April day
When the sun is out and the wind is still,
You’re one month on in the middle of May.
But if you so much as dare to speak,
A cloud comes over the sunlit arch,
A wind comes off a frozen peak,
And you’re two months back in the middle of March.
I typically avoid the Lobster Festival, but if they bring a big ol’ trap like this back on the scene, I might consider making an appearance. Why avoid it? Well, David Foster Wallace hits the nail on the head - but thankfully, I always have other (better) plans.

On St. Patrick’s day I finally met Elliott, Emily and Bill’s beautiful son. The Heatwave of 2012 permitted for a delightful picnic and a sneaky sunburn. I also got to meet the chickens, the newest members of Lupine Farm. Although I’ll be honest, they were far less excited to meet me as I them.
