Meant to post this all on Friday as well, but my crazy weekend took over instead.

Some freaking awesome pics of the Large Hadron Collider c/o The Boston Globe. (I know that a bunch of people have already posted this by now, but they really are pretty)

This beautiful painted essay on love by Marian Bantjes is amazing.

The Phoenix is running a site with the top bands, solo artists and current acts from each of the 50 U.S. States.

If you have any interest in The Walkmen’s newest album, pick it up online for $5, and let your purchase benefit the Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center, and a little girl, Luca Vasallo, an 8-month-old who’s struggling with leukemia. Good music + good cause = great buy.

Also, as I was recovering on Sunday, I decided to read Daisy Kutter, a comic by Kazu Kibuishi the writer of Copper (which is one of my favorite web comics and I wish he would update it because it’s beautiful and sweet and kinda along the lines of Craig Thompson, in the way it makes me feel, except more ornate and packaged into smaller, more distilled doses). But this is about Daisy Kutter, which was fun and great in its own right. Set in a wild west where robots walk the streets next to people, this quirky tale follows Daisy, a retired heist master, on her last train job. It’s highly entertaining, kinda sweet, and incredibly well drawn. Definitely worth picking up.
