Will It Blend? - iPhone3G (via Blendtec)
I am dedicating this Will it Blend? to my new iPhone 3G, and to Ivette’s migraine.

johanna (via baterflai)
I woke up from my nap with this song stuck in my head. As soon as I started the video I remembered it was a strong anti-appartheid anthem.

The Fab Four - Being For The Benefit Of Mr. Kite! (via growlyman)
I got this song stuck in my head since I saw Across the Universe. The Across the Universe version is very original (and more than a bit freaky). I couldn’t find a real Beatles video, and the only clips from the movie sucked, so I started looking for covers. The best one is by the tribute band The Fab Four.

boomtown rats _ dont like mondays (via noCoffee)
What I really hate about MY Mondays in particular is the large amount of time spent on troubleshooting instead of writing new code.
There’s always something broken.
There’s always a customer demanding attention.
By the time I am done with the firefighting drills, most of the morning is gone. And on top of that, I still ended losing half my afternoon troubleshooting my own stupid project! Grr.

The Police - So Lonely (via policevideos)
I was actually looking for Shambelle, but that song was a “B” side and the only available videos are jam sessions plus one douchebag adding a heavy metal solo on top of it.

Santana - Soul Sacrifice (Woodstock 1969) (via TheDormouse)
Another representative performance. I like this set in particular because Mickaël Shrieve (the drummer, youngest performer at the Woodstock 1969 festival) pretty much steals the show from Carlos Santana.

Bob Marley - redemption song acustic (via Henrshy)
This is the most representative performance I have seen from Bob Marley.

Mister Rogers the Clown (via nebunie)
Were you scared of clowns as a child? I never cared much for them, but now as an adult I keep running into people telling me how they were terrified by clowns.
Nick Drake - Day is Done (via mouthfuloflead)
Nick Drake is one of the most obscure members of the “Rockstars that Died Young” Club.
Dolores had no hobbies, made no contribution to society and rarely shared a kind word or deed in her life. I speak for the majority of her family when I say her presence will not be missed by many, very few tears will be shed and there will be no lamenting over her passing.
Dolores Aguilar, 1929 - 2008

Deep Purple - Space Truckin’ - New York 1973 (via stever1957)
I caught myself singing this song aloud while wondering why half of my customers decided to spend the afternoon driving me crazy.

It is my heart-warmed and world-embracing Christmas hope and aspiration that all of us, the high, the low, the rich, the poor, the admired, the despised, the loved, the hated, the civilized, the savage (every man and brother of us all throughout the whole earth), may eventually be gathered together in a heaven of everlasting rest and peace and bliss, except the inventor of the telephone.
Mark Twain, Christmas greeting, 1890

The Sopranos: “Pussy the fish” scene (via deggis4)
I am watching this episode right now, it is arguably the most popular episode in the series.
THE HOLLIES - He Ain’t Heavy, He’s My Brother (via lmj22)
Wikipedia has a fascinating entry explaining this song, its origins and connections to popular culture.

Beatles - How to Play Martha My Dear, Part 1 (via pianojohn113)
I can’t get this song out of my head, I am even dreaming of playing it myself, and I don’t even play piano!

“One of these days I’m going to cut you into little pieces,” by Pink Floyd.
This is a live piece, performed at the amphitheater in the ruins at Pompeii.

James Randi exposes Uri Geller and Peter Popoff (via RationalResponse)
This is a very entertaining video, I remember the Uri Geller bashing since I was a kid, but this is the first time I see the case laid out in this way.

Eating bacon doesn’t make you unhealthy. Being a fat bastard makes you unhealthy.
onomatopoetic, in reply to “Ham and bacon keep us healthy,” claims meat firm. At last, advertising we can believe in.
Dog credit: Random Good Stuff
That borders on the cruel. At least the poor thing got to eat them at the end.
Try that with a cat and it will scratch out one of your eyes on your first attempt.
