Some things that I saw, heard, felt, went to, or did recently (and maybe you should check out, too)
The band's combination of chittering electronics, found sound and repetitive string and woodwind lines eloquently conjures how it feels to helplessly grope for words that don't exist to describe disquiet we can't place, how it feels to be left alone with only the colors of our own thoughts for company.

Gomorrah, a new film (in the U.S. at least) by Matteo Garrone.
This is playing at the IFC Center in New York. I think its been a hit there, so it may play in other cities. As well it should.
It is worth watching the film just to see some of the settings (like the ruined concrete ziggurat-like housing projects) and puzzle over them (there were so many times when I was pleasantly at a loss to grasp what was happening in the background of some scenes).
Go and see it if you can.
If you need more prodding, here is the review that tipped me off to the film in the first place.

David Byrne at Radio City Music Hall.
I thought it was great: he's still got it, and Radio City is an incredible space (I am a sucker for red velvet walls and gold trim, and I don't like using "restrooms" - I prefer "Lounges").
The New York Times didn't seem to like it, but David Byrne doesn't care. If you missed the show, then you should at least check out his site; he keeps an interesting journal of his thoughts, his bicycling adventures, and his world travels.
