I posted this video a long time ago, but it was before the new-fangled video hosting places made it easy to embed video. Or maybe it was this creaky old WordPress blog software that wouldn’t let me do it. Whatever the reason, bask in the wonder that is the Lyrebird:
Why haven’t I posted this before? This is one of my favorite bands: great lyrics, great music, great energy. And a fucked up perspective. Yay.
I picked this version because it sounds pretty good (not as good as the official video, but live is better for me). This version of the song performed live at Bonnaroo is great too. The sound isn’t as good, but I feel good every time I see how happy Craig Finn seems at the start of the song. It reminds me of how playing shows used to make me feel.
In a very clearly stated 20 minute video, Lawrence Lessig (EFF Boardmember) sums up why he is voting for Barack Obama. I’d say he hits the nail pretty squarely on the head and does a great job of supporting what, for many, is a slightly ambiguous “feeling” about the principles of the two remaining Democratic candidates.
20 minutes or so on why I am 4Barack (lessig.org)
Again with the video. What the fuck? If I had something to say, I’d say it. I guess I’m just an Everyday Normal Guy.
I know it’s monumentally lazy to stroll back here every few weeks to post a video, but…well, I guess that’s all I have room for. Hell, it’s not like anyone reads this fucking blog anyway.
I found this video on YouTube of NoMeansNo back before they had a guitar player. I think I saw them at the Vatican in Eugene as a duo, but can’t remember those days all that clearly. This probably would have been from the mid-’80s sometime. I played with them a couple of times around 88 or 89, but they had grey hair by then.
Phenon wanted me to put sometihng she made on my blog, so she drew this for me. When asked what she wanted it to be called, she said…well it’s pretty obvious what she said, isn’t it?
I’ve recently started using Simplify Media to share my home iTunes library so I can listen to it at work. It’s working great so far and I’m now letting all my friends know that they should install it and share with me. The application installs an IM-like client in your system tray where you add up to 30 friends. Then, in iTunes, you see all of your new friend’s libraries for you to play to your hearts content. Install it and let me know.
A List Apart is conducting their first survey of web professionals. It only took a few mintutes and I’ll be really interested to see the results. Oh, and there are prizes!
