Top Gear: Fiat 500 vs. BMX in Budapest
Yeah, just getting prepared. Also, if you’ve never watched Top Gear, start! They’re on Netflix and a new series starts in the UK this Sunday. Brilliant.
Steel Train – Bullet
I love this song. Great video too.
JESS3 State of the Internet
Some really interesting metrics from JESS3 for AIGA on the state of the internet.

Video: She & Him/(500) Days of Summer
This is a great video made by Marc Webb, the director of (500) Days of Summer, and features Zooey Deschanel and Joseph Gordon-Levitt. It was premiered in USA Today today.
The song is Why Do You Let Me Stay Here? by She & Him (the brainchild project of M. Ward and Zooey Deschanel). You should really pick up the album if you haven’t yet.

Nobody Dances Anymore
From the summer after I interned at the militia group. This song came up in iTunes yesterday and jogged my memory. Glad I remembered it too. What a great album.
Festival Video
So, you all remember that little music festival I’ve been doing for seven years? The one that was in May and took up an entire weekend for me? We had some people out from ReelFM.tv filming and they put together a pretty good video with a sort of recap.
Get a feel for what the festival is actually like (if you’ve never been). It really is a big job that I have loved for the last chunk of my life. But also one I have come to peace with leaving, if it ever came to that.
Anyway, check it out:

Auto-Tune the News
I saw this on Gizmodo tonight and had to go watch them. Absolutely brilliant.
Favourite HD Channel
My favourite HD channel is, by far, Palladia.
This 1080i music channel is pretty phenomenal. In last two weeks of getting acquainted with our HD programming, I’ve seen footage from countless UK music festivals and Coachella 2006, Oasis in concert, music videos and tonight, All-American Rejects live in concert. All in glorious high definition. I’ve got Weezer live in Japan set to record to the DVR next.
Imagine my surprise to find out Palladia is an MTV channel! An MTV channel that only plays music?? Amazing. They’ve definitely done something right with this channel. It’s fantastic and my favourite.
Trek Makes Me Happy
My dad made me a Star Trek fan at a very early age. I’m not sure I’d call myself a devoted Trekkie, but I love the show – especially The Next Generation, but mostly because that was what I grew up with on tv.
That said, I am SO excited for the new J.J. Abrams -directed film. One of my favourite writer/directors taking over the Trek mantle is awesome. Particularly because the writers on his team that handled the new script are die-hard fans of the franchise even if Abrams himself is not.
Yesterday Gizmodo posted the submissions to there latest photoshop contest which was all about ruining the new Star Trek film. I found it pretty hilarious and it provided me a good five minutes of laughing at my desk. A lot of the submissions were, unsurprisingly, smash-ups of Star Trek and Star Wars. And were really funny.
So along those lines, here’s a YouTube video @kevinkirchner found… and it’s funny.
Damion Suomi Video
Another Damion Suomi video. You really should check out his album at P is for Panda.
Damion Suomi Day
The fantastic P is for Panda has released the equally (possibly moreso) fantastic Damion Suomi record today. Jess and I got the album from @chadpearson last year and listened to it all winter long. It is SO good. Go buy the cheap download–and if you’re up for it, the CD or LP. Great music from a great musician and from a label that’s set on helping those less fortunate than ourselves. For a taste of the tunes, check out the live video below.
