This song, that played last night on the final episode of The Office is apparently a Creed Bratton original. It is so pretty. Creed, we hardly knew ye! And we’ll miss ye.

RIP “The Office” - last night’s finale was extremely satisfying and a great way to end the series.
After 20 years, the world has finally caught up with Daft Punk, so the helmet-clad retro-futurists are embarking on a new mission: to make music breathe again
This Pitchfork cover story is worthwhile simply just for the creative story interface.

Mikal Cronin - “Change”
The National has come a long way since toiling in obscurity as an unfashionable band in the most fashionable music scene on the planet. Before Alligator, the band’s third record, caught on (slowly) with critics and (even more slowly) with the public, the music press ignored the National. Or worse, saddled them (incorrectly) with the “alt-country” tag, which in the early-’00s New York City rock scene was akin to being put on a sex-offenders registry. Formed in 1999 by Berninger and two sets of brothers — Aaron and Bryce, who both play guitar, and Scott and Bryan Devendorf, who make up the rhythm section — the National released their self-titled debut one month after the Strokes put out their first record. An unfocused mélange of classic-rock hero worship (particularly Tom Waits and Bruce Springsteen) and ’90s indie touchstones (like a twangier Pavement, or a less dynamic version of “twangy Pavement”–era Wilco), The National is the weakest entry in the band’s discography; unlike the Strokes after Is This It, the National had nowhere to go but up.
Also, the same author who wrote the above article interviewed Tom Berninger, the brother of lead singer Matt and director of the National tour documentary Mistaken For Strangers.

David: Today’s a pretty good day. I’m going to be able to touch an owl in a couple hours so hopefully touching the owl will supersede someone being angry at me.Terri: Do you want to touch an owl cause owls figure into your book?David: Well, I…somebody from the Carolina Raptor Rescue contacted me and said “We’d love to have an owl at your reading” because they saw that I have the word “owl” in my book. So then I found a diabetic so I could have both an owl and a person with diabetes at the reading tonight. And then it looked like the owl wouldn’t be able to make it so then I was stuck with this person with diabetes. And so I cancelled with the person with diabetes and then the owl came through again so now we are scrambling to find a person with diabetes.
Highly recommend this Fresh Air interview with David Sedaris on his new book Let’s Explore Owls with Diabetes from a few weeks back. Can’t wait to start it today.
