I've just returned from an intense (in a good way) two-week workshop in book arts at Penland. I'll be writing about it after a brief recovery period (mostly, I plan to stare into space for a couple of days). In the meantime, here's an inventive music video for "Ankle Injuries," a song by the British band Fujiya & Miyagi. Visually, its style is part "Sledgehammer" by Peter Gabriel and part "Fell In Love With a Girl" by the White Stripes. A bit of fun eye candy for your day.
An amusing (at least to me) side note: The band identifies its members as as "Steve Lewis (Fujiya), David Best (Miyagi), and Matt Hainsby (ampersand). "
Its influences, according to its MySpace page, range from Captain Beefheart, Serge Gainsbourg, and Roxy Music to Talking Heads, Brian Eno, Kraftwerk, and Dexys Midnight Runners.

Hey bookgirl,
After a 32 hour trip home, including a flight to Las Vegas en route to Mpls, I'm home as well. Looking forward to your Penland reflections!

Have you seen the musc video Librarian yet? It's a delight. This band is from Dunedin, New Zealand: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ne_WXP7lUWM
You're right, I liked the Librarian video very much. Thanks for pointing it out.
I enjoyed your site, and appreciate the critique of the new film about Jane Austen. I'm glad it inspired you to look further in Austen.
