Submarine is a really wonderful movie and so is the soundtrack. Turns out Alex Turner of the Arctic Monkeys recorded six original songs for it. His voice sounded oddly familiar but I had no idea it was him until I looked it up after watching the movie. These songs aren’t the Arctic Monkeys at all; they’re restrained and relaxed and, more than anything, dated, but in a good way, just like the movie.
Recommended listening (and watching).

Times, Post, or Daily News?
Times, of course. The paper. I do nothing electronic. When I work on the computer, which I do often, it’s always with somebody smarter and younger at my side. My hands have literally never touched a keyboard.and
In one sentence, what do you actually do all day in your job?
I sit around pushing pieces of paper until they look right.

Have you seen the new Leica M-9P Edition Hermes? It’s beautiful, and it’s also fifty thousand dollars. If you think about it, though, it’s actually quite the steal—it’s the most affordable Hermes branded Leica on the market! The making of video is pretty mesmerizing, and makes me wish I had a $50,000 Leica store credit.

I’m here with Sarah at the Bowery Ballroom right now, waiting for Beach House to take the stage. Aziz Ansari and Ed Droste (from Grizzly Bear) are standing right next to me at the bar. I mean, MY FRIENDS Aziz and Ed. Just kidding. But they’re literally right next to me. Welcome to New York.

One of my favorite songs off of one of my favorite albums of the year so far. Perfect song to kick off the weekend.
We’re excited to announce the official launch of Storyboard, our new hub for in-depth conversations with Tumblr’s creative community. We’ll be posting regular features on creators working in and around Tumblr’s massively diverse cosmos — writers, musicians, animators, scientists, artists, archivists, chefs, comedians, or anyone else with a great story to tell. Today we’re talking about Michael Stipe, the New York Times, Afghanistan, and the design mechanics of the Tumblr Dashboard.
We want to hear your stories too. If you’re interested in submitting a story (or even a story idea) for us to publish, just post it on Tumblr tagged with #storyboard. Our editors will monitor the tag and the community’s interactions there, promoting stories that resonate. And if your story really works, we’ll ask to expand it for publication on Storyboard itself.
Last but not least, if you find yourself in New York City on May 10, we’d love to hang out at the official Tumblr meetup celebrating Storyboard’s launch. It’s at Powerhouse Arena, 7-9pm, with drinks on us and several Tumblr celebrity mystery guests (cough Topherchris, Tommypom, cough).
