This might be the coolest photo I’ve ever seen.

Some people think this photo shows a time traveler caught on camera in 1940. As unlikely as that is, I’m inclined to believe this simply because the dude appears to be wearing a Michigan shirt. He’s obviously a fan who went back to a time when they weren’t a pathetic mess of a football program.

As we mentioned on Valentine’s Day, Swedish singer-songwriter José González has reconvened with his pre-solo career band, Junip, and taken part in a documentary, which premiered at the Gothenburg International Film Festival earlier in the year.
The documentary, The Extraordinary Ordinary Life of José González, was shot over the course of three years and includes footage from his tours of Japan, Singapore, Spain, the U.S. and U.K., as well as scenes from a rehearsal studio, where he struggled to write songs for his second solo LP, In Our Nature. There are biographical elements to the film as well, including (according to Variety) an animated sequence depicting the meeting of his “parents during Argentina’s ‘dirty war’ years, their flight to Sweden and his birth.”
I can’t wait to see this documentary, but no U.S. festival screenings or DVD release details have come to light just yet. The good news, however: the Playlist uncovered the trailer, and it looks every bit as intriguing as the description let on.

Can’t wait for this.

Google To Release Android Tablet Soon
Google is almost ready to start selling its own tablet. The device, according to the New York Times, will be “an e-reader that would function like a computer.” So close is it that Eric Schmidt, CEO at Google, was describing it to friends at “a recent party in Los Angeles.”
The slate-like computer will run Android, and anonymous sources say that Google has already been working with publishers to put books and magazines on the device.
The choice of Android seems odd, given that Google is committed to the Chrome OS on the netbook platform. But Chrome will be an almost non-existent operating system, offering just enough software to load a browser and access Google’s online services. Android, on the other hand, is already well-developed and full-featured enough to offer all that you get from Apple’s iPad. It is also designed to be used on a touchscreen device, something that can’t be said for a skinned desktop OS like Windows 7.
The new Dr. Dog album gets better with every listen. That is all.
