It’s a pretty well-known trick for making a successful cover version – take an up-tempo song and slow it down. Still, Coldplay makes the old trick work by taking the Beastie Boys’ first and arguably best-known hit, the party anthem “Fight For Your Right (To Party)” and slowing it down to a near funeral dirge […]

“There’s a bear…strung up. I assume murdered. Maybe a suicide. I dunno.”
Christopher Walken read’s “Where The Wild Things Are“. Probably a fake but either way, wow, just wow.
Music Monday – “When all is said and done/We’re not the first to be here/There’s nothing new underneath the sun.”
A co-worker told me about this really cool Nashville-based, jazz-funk band called “Here Come The Mummies” who apparently play in costume to hide the fact that they’re all under contract to different labels as session musicians…
Music Monday – “I’m a Pilsner drinking, whitetail hunting, purple burning, stubble jumping, slough bogging, prairie dogging, rod and reeling, snowmobiling, genuine big ski sun of a gun from Saskatchewan.”
I knew of Tim Hus before but discovered this song due to the magic of Rdio. Not too often I hear my hometown name-checked in a song! (“Moose Jaw and Indian Head/It ain’t as flat as everyone says”
Birth to 12 Years in Three Minutes
These are two pretty amazing videos – a father takes a brief video of his daughter every week for twelve years (and separately, his son for nine years) then splices them together into a short time lapse video. I wish I had the dedication to do something like this with Pace – but once every […]

Music Monday – “Nothing to kill or die for/And no religion too.”
Being in the US, especially on a major religious holiday, is always eye-opening to me as an atheist. For example, this chart ran with a newspaper story whose title and anecdotal themes suggested people were coming back to faith but which the hard evidence clearly suggests otherwise… I will concede that religion and religious pressure […]
Google Glasses
A very cool announcement from Google about an experimental, augmented reality wearable computer (translation: futuristic eyeglasses) that could crush Apple’s iPhone dominance if it takes off.
