In the most ridiculous coincidence I am in Israel at Kibbutz Ein Hashofet sitting with the lead guitarist and producer of Easy Star All-Stars watching a video of them perform Dub Side of the Moon!! How did this happen!!! So cool!

GPOYW: Guggenheim 50th Anniversary T-Shirt of Awesomeness Edition.

I had a wonderful morning volunteering at the Guggenheim’s 50th Anniversary Free Day. I was helping people take photographs in our 50th Anniversary Photo Booth. It was a blast and a half!

Talked to a lot of great people, and even ran into Fighterofthenightman! Which was super awesome! Scott, I wish you well in Israel and have a safe flight on Sunday!

Sickest coincidence ever. I walked out the the Guggenheim and we instantly recognized each other! I’m sorry I couldn’t stay and talk, I literally left for Israel just a few hours later! It was great meeting you!!!

10,000!

An Indonesian woman gave birth to this 19.2 pound bundle of joy, the country’s biggest baby ever. Doctors think gestational diabetes is to blame. We think he’s just an awesome giant. That other baby doesn’t even know what to think. Gawker

To Indonesian woman: Im sorry to your vagina.

You Made Me So Very Happy

Blood, Sweat & Tears

1969

I like this song, especially when sung by Brenda Holloway’s beautifully soulful voice. Random fact: she originally co-wrote and released this song in 1967, two years before Blood, Sweat & Tears. I wonder if there are any more contemporary examples of this in music. The only example that comes to mind is from movies, where the Hulk from 2003 was “rebooted” to make the Incredible Hulk in 2008.

There are HUNDREDS of examples of this. Everything from The Byrds making it big with Dylan’s Tambourine Man, to Alien Ant Farm making the charts with Michael Jackson’s Smooth Criminal (which was a pretty criminal remake!)

My issue with Last.fm

Mon, 21 Sep 2009 16:13:00 -0400

My issue with last.fm is that it shows the mp3’s you’ve listened to. My music of the week cannot be characterized by the mp3’s I’ve listened to.

If it could track my vinyl listenings i would use it.

If it could tell me how many times I’ve listened to Revolver on vinyl this weekend i’d be more impressed.

(btw. it’s 8 times through.)

God Only Knows - The Beach Boys

-I am listening to the Pet Sounds Vinyl right now. There is no album that gives me such an indescribable feeling. Every song on the album is perfect with those around them. Its phenomenal.

fuckyeahthebeatles:

Disney and Robert Zemeckis are looking to catch the wave of Beatlemania, floating a new 3-D “Yellow Submarine” for the bigscreen, with merchandising in tow and prospects for spinning off both a Broadway musical and a Cirque du Soleil stage production. Disney hopes to have the film ready to premiere around the 2012 Summer Olympics. The deal has been months in the making, with armies of Blue Meanies — er, lawyers — sorting out the complicated rights clearances necessary to remake the 1968 psychedelic toon. Key to the deal is Zemeckis’ access to 16 classic Beatles tunes, ranging from the title song to “Baby You’re a Rich Man,” “All You Need Is Love,” “When I’m 64,” “Lucy in the Sky With Diamonds” and “Sgt. Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band.” – From Variety

This is the most exciting thing ive heard all day! How many days till it comes out in 2012??

Tashlich - A How To:

Sat, 19 Sep 2009 19:22:31 -0400

nechamaelle:

On the Jewish New Year, Rosh Hashanah, there is a ceremony called Tashlich.
Jews traditionally go to the ocean or a stream or river to pray and throw bread crumbs into the water. Symbolically, the fish devour their sins.
Occasionally, people ask what kind of bread crumbs should be thrown.
Here are suggestions for breads which may be most appropriate for specific sins and misbehaviors.
~~~~~
For ordinary sins…………………White Bread
For complex sins………………….Multigrain
For twisted sins………………….Pretzels
For sins of indecision…………….Waffles
For sins committed in haste………..Matzoh
For sins of chutzpah………………Fresh Bread
For substance abuse……………….Stoned Wheat
For use of heavy drugs…………….Poppy Seed
For petty larceny…………………Stollen
For committing auto theft………….Caraway
For timidity/cowardice…………….Milk Toast
For tasteless sins………………..Rice Cakes
For ill-temperedness………………Sourdough
For silliness, eccentricity………..Nut Bread
For not giving full value………….Shortbread
For unnecessary chances……………Hero Bread
For war-mongering…………………Kaiser Rolls
For jingoism, chauvinism…………..Yankee Doodles
For excessive irony……………….Rye Bread
For erotic sins…………………..French Bread
For particularly dark sins…………Pumpernickel
For dressing immodestly……………Tarts
For racist attitudes………………Crackers
For causing injury to others……….Tortes
For sophisticated racism…………..Ritz Crackers
For being holier than thou…………Bagels
For abrasiveness………………….Grits
For dropping in without notice……..Popovers
For overeating……………………Stuffing
For impetuosity…………………..Quick Bread
For indecent photography…………..Cheesecake
For raising your voice too often……Challah
For pride and egotism……………..Puff Pastry
For sycophancy, brown-nosing……….Brownies
For being overly smothering………..Angel Food Cake
For laziness……………………..Any long loaf
For trashing the environment……….Dumplings
… and my personal favorite:
For telling bad jokes/puns…………Corn Bread

For those who require a wide selection of crumbs, we suggest a Tashlich Mix available in three grades (Tashlich Lite, Medium, and Industrial Strength) at your favorite Jewish bookstore.

It is the opposite of ironic that the Value Voters Summit is occurring during Rosh Hashanah. Im sure this was a problem for the one Jew who really wanted to go to this ~~Conservative Christian~~ “Value Voters” summit!

NBC’s Chuck Todd being scolded at a White House breifing.

The most ridiculous part is that Glenn Beck used this video to complain about government control, complaining that the White House is now telling us how to sneeze! crazy conservatives…
