Holmes & Yo-Yo, Yo


The show Holmes & Yo-Yo haunted me when I was a kid. Unfortunately, I remember nothing about it, other than that I found it amazing and wonderful. It took me years of random internet searches to figure out that my vision of a lantern-jawed actor with a computer panel for a chest REALLY HAPPENED. It happened on my family's television, but it happened.


Also, Yo-Yo had a built-in Polaroid camera. Press his nose and a photo would eject from his shirt pocket. Androids are pretty cool. (Watch the intro to the show on YouTube here.)

Playlists are cool, too.

Dovedale by Moonlight





My mother went to Oberlin College and would go stare at this painting in their gallery whenever she felt blue.




It's by Joseph Wright of Derby and is now called "Dovedale by Moonlight," though it was once known by a different name, I believe.

It was painted in roughly 1784. Here is a write-up from Oberlin's Allen Memorial Art Museum website that tells more.


And here, with (out) all the majesty of a superior nocturnal landscape, is today's playlist.
