Aluminum - “I’m Bound To Pack It Up” (Originally by The White Stripes)

I don’t have a word for when a song makes you get totally absorbed into it, so that you kind of lose a sense of where you are…but whatever that word would be - this song does it to me. It’s the absolutely perfect background music…

…and in complete disclosure, I discovered this song as a backdrop to this video - which is amazing in itself.

Stay classy, Great Britain.

closertotheocean:Chris Jordan:These photographs of albatross chicks were made just a few weeks ago on Midway Atoll, a tiny stretch of sand and coral near the middle of the North Pacific. The nesting babies are fed bellies-full of plastic by their parents, who soar out over the vast polluted ocean collecting what looks to them like food to bring back to their young. On this diet of human trash, every year tens of thousands of albatross chicks die on Midway from starvation, toxicity, and choking.

To document this phenomenon as faithfully as possible, not a single piece of plastic in any of these photographs was moved, placed, manipulated, arranged, or altered in any way. These images depict the actual stomach contents of baby birds in one of the world’s most remote marine sanctuaries, more than 2000 miles from the nearest continent. (via A Photo Student)

[This is infuriating.]

This is, without a doubt, the most entertaining ad campaign currently running. While I’m usually hyper-critical of advertisements, I’ve been won over by “the most interesting man in the world.”
