Will Oldham stars in this 11-minute commercial for Dogfish Head beer (—yes, it is a real brewery). Pretty weird.

I enjoyed watching this video of Jarvis Cocker explaining how he wrote “Common People,” as part of a Sky TV series about the art of songwriting. I also really enjoyed him as Petey in The Fantastic Mr. Fox.

Over the weekend, Bill Burns had his Toronto Edition launch for Guard Tower Plans, Prison Cell Plans and the Songs of Guantanamo Bay, a multiple produced with all proceeds to benefit Art Metropole.

It includes a set of IKEA style assembly guides fashioned to provide readers with instructions on how to build replicas of the guard towers and prison cells at Camp X-Ray. It also includes a playlist of hit songs the prisoners like to listen to at the camp. If you're curious about what those songs are, you can see the list on their facebook.

Former to San Francisco, now NY-based Seems Books has released a new artist book with Mark Delong, Cold Pop, featuring cartoons, a selection of ceramics, and graphite drawings. They’re having a book launch at their new space in the next few weeks, and you can see all the info here.

The Catorialist is pretty adorable. More heartwarming than its human counterpart.
