This has been blogged elsewhere and a while back, but I’ve just checked out the Library of Congress’ exhibit of colour photographs made by Prokudin-Gorskii in pre-revolutionary Russia. This is just breathtaking stuff. Please take a look…
Debunking JFK Conspiracy Theories
REM was great, I’ll try to post a pic or two tomorrow.
For now, though, here’s a link to an interesting site which attempts to debunk most of the JFK assassination conspiracy theories. There’s a great page about Oliver Stone’s film and how he (and by extension, Jim Garrison) distorted the facts. Very well researched. I’m still not convinced Oswald acted alone, but I’m glad that this site is attempting to bring a little balance to the subject. It is history, after all. (via Metafilter)
Me and 50,000 Other Folks
Tomorrow, I’m going to try to see REM for free here in Toronto. Me and probably 50,000 other folks.

The Pretenders
Lost treasure I just rediscovered: The Pretenders first album, especially “The Wait” and “Precious.” Yup, Chrissie Hynde swearing and breathing heavy pretty much turned me into a man back in 1979.
