Black Cab Sessions: Beach House: I just stumbled on the Black Cab Sessions--behind the times of course. I'm sure I will link to more as I delve into this fantastic collection. The duo's acoustic version of Heart of Chambers is awesome.

Calder v. Bull, 3 U.S 386, 400 (1798): "it is not sufficient to urge, that the power may be abused, for, such is the nature of all power--such is the tendency of every human institution." Justice Iredell, in reference to the Takings Clause, but one I find applicable to many of the "slippery slope" arguments put forward in my law school classes.

I have actually seen some of these, probably at your behest. I remember liking the Bon Iver clip. I can't wait until I have some time to dig into these great collections.

There is something oddly appealing about the black cab sessions. I like the cramped space, stripped down sound, the movement of the car and the quick cuts to the outside world.
