C. Askew, San Francisco/Santa Cruz. I make music as The Lovely Smooth, among other projects. This is part of my “internet presence.” I am uncomfortably “self-aware” and really “into art” as well as some other things. I do graphic design work to support my studies and work at a rad food co-op in my free time. I also co-curate a blog about hands and another about floral patterns (see above).Tumblr (3.0; @lilbitaskew)http://lilbitaskew.tumblr.com/<img src="http://24.media.tumblr.com/be1036d052ac62dec8dd2439ab9c0c63/tumblr_moiqc3jKAC1qzrjwxo1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/>http://lilbitaskew.tumblr.com/post/53168259092http://lilbitaskew.tumblr.com/post/53168259092Sun, 16 Jun 2013 20:43:00 -0700brian enobrian eno's cat<iframe width="400" height="225" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/ODyWKkDBb4U?wmode=transparent&autohide=1&egm=0&hd=1&iv_load_policy=3&modestbranding=1&rel=0&showinfo=0&showsearch=0" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe><br/><br/><p><strong>austra - home.</strong> i wasn’t sure what to expect from this new stuff but this video is actually beautiful and the song is pretty good. i really like it towards the very end.</p>http://lilbitaskew.tumblr.com/post/52663623621http://lilbitaskew.tumblr.com/post/52663623621Mon, 10 Jun 2013 16:28:50 -0700austra<iframe src="http://player.vimeo.com/video/28012473" width="400" height="225" frameborder="0"></iframe><br/><br/><p><strong>appetite - warn me, right.</strong> this video is a little silly at times but this band is so good i don’t know why they haven’t made more of a name for themselves. i still listen to both albums of theirs that i have after stumbling across them about two years ago.</p>http://lilbitaskew.tumblr.com/post/52528424655http://lilbitaskew.tumblr.com/post/52528424655Sun, 09 Jun 2013 00:56:11 -0700appetite<iframe src="http://player.vimeo.com/video/67969941" width="400" height="225" frameborder="0"></iframe><br/><br/><p><em>I Carry My City Inside Me</em>, Winter 2013.</p>http://lilbitaskew.tumblr.com/post/52526387463http://lilbitaskew.tumblr.com/post/52526387463Sun, 09 Jun 2013 00:06:45 -0700my first performance piecebetter than a pony?i dunnoponies are pretty great<iframe width="400" height="300" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/3_J0AMPPD34?wmode=transparent&autohide=1&egm=0&hd=1&iv_load_policy=3&modestbranding=1&rel=0&showinfo=0&showsearch=0" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe><br/><br/><p>oh my god</p>http://lilbitaskew.tumblr.com/post/52506464333http://lilbitaskew.tumblr.com/post/52506464333Sat, 08 Jun 2013 18:49:33 -0700really chilly bunniesbunnies taking baths in sinks<img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/aefefa4000b26e8f1fbec18261eafe5d/tumblr_mn7bupHHmA1qbyf2jo1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/><p><a class="tumblr_blog" href="http://lawn-chairs.tumblr.com/post/52000600848/bad-postcards-great-sloth-beast-megatherium" target="_blank">lawn-chairs</a>:</p> <blockquote> <p><a class="tumblr_blog" href="http://bad-postcards.tumblr.com/post/51072593092/great-sloth-beast-megatherium-pronounced" target="_blank">bad-postcards</a>:</p> <blockquote> <p><strong>GREAT SLOTH BEAST</strong></p> <blockquote> <div> <p><strong>MEGATHERIUM</strong></p> <p>Pronounced: meg-a-THEE-ree-um<br/>Literally, “great beast”</p> <p>Megatherium was the largest of the ground sloths, and although apparently very awkward and slow-witted, his great size and strength protected him from the large meat-eaters of his time.
