As I go to bed at night, there are new problems with the cooling at Fukushima. When I wake up, there’s a new fire. No matter what the outcome of this will be, these have been truly terrifying days.

I stumbled across this absolutely gorgeous live performance of “Heartbeats” by The Knife. “Heartbeats” gained worldwide fame when Sony used the José González cover in their Bravia commercial, but I wonder if it ever has sounded this fragile and powerful before. Briliant.
