Welcome to another delightful week of goodies! Since you’ve probably also watch the [new Star Wars teaser trailer](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ngElkyQ6Rhs&ref=birchtree.me) about a million times, this week’s featured video is John Oliver’s take down of patent trolls on Last Week Tonight.

## New Music

- [Kindred](https://itunes.apple.com/us/album/kindred/id965405199?at=10l8rH&ref=birchtree.me) by Passion Pit - An utterly fantastic 3rd album from Michael Angelakos’ solo act
- [Untethered](https://itunes.apple.com/us/album/untethered-moon/id967409661?at=10l8rH&ref=birchtree.me) by Built to Spill

## Swag of the Week

![](http://birchtree.s3.amazonaws.com/hobonichi-techo-2015.jpg) 

I use the [Hobonichi Techo 2015 planner](http://www.1101.com/store/techo/2015/planner/?ref=birchtree.me) as my day-to-day todo manager, and it’s a delight. It feels very high quality, and makes you want to go out a buy a nice pen to use specifically for this notebook. It’s stupid-expensive for a planner, but if you’re into this sort of thing, you’ll love it.
