http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wSEXGr-ULv4 My favourite song by my favourite band, performed live with their usual terrific understatedness? I’ll need a moment, please. *hand over fluttering heart* The rest of you, go enjoy the Lucksmiths’ “Golden Age of Aviation”. NOW. The vid kicks in a few seconds after the first punch-line is set up, and is a bit-Tali […]

Darren Hanlon – The Unmade Bed
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g-HEWb0eeRw An unexpected video to one of my pal Darren’s songs (one of my favourites). He shows up in a dark suit near the end to dance far better than I would have expected. He cleans up quite nicely (also unexpected!) For what it’s worth, my favourite line of the song occurs early: Our guest […]

Movie Reviews, Showtimes and Trailers – Movies – New York Times – The New York Times
http://movies2.nytimes.com/2007/01/13/movies/13prim.html My love for NY Times movie writer A.O. Scott knows no bounds. His reviews are always a joy to read, but seldom more so than when he really, really dislikes a movie. The Times reviewers even infuse fun into the parental advisory note.

Jonathan Ive – Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jon_ive I’m compelled to voice one other quibble with today’s keynote: Steve has kept me waiting for a year plus without a Jon Ive talking head segment. “Jony” was called in the audience during the iPhone demo, but no spotlight (klieg lights would work too) was cast upon him. Steve, man, I need my Jon […]
Marvin Gaye (Hitch Hike)
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FioNrMTrVXk Many groovy thanks to TomCat42 for this fantastic Stumble! I have long believed I was born in the wrong era, and this clip of Marvin Gaye cutting a spirited rug on an early-60’s variety show really makes me nostalgic for a time I never knew. This was pre-lip synching (Ashlee Simpson, eat your tiny […]

http://www.lrb.co.uk/classified/index.php Another good reason (my first being close proximity to Paris) to move to Britain. Here, I thought the book from my previous entry was a collection of rarities, but they’re almost always this fun. Fwah. In laboratory tests, this ad made seven mice blind. The remaining three, however, developed extra-sensory powers and the ability […]

http://www.clooneynetwork.com/family-friends-pets.shtml I make allowances, in my loathing of celebrity gossip, for George Clooney – about whom I’ll read anything and everything. (I think I’d make a great stalker if I wasn’t so incredibly lazy.) It seems that death has done parted George from the love of his life; an 18-year old pig named Max. Any […]
