I heart David Byrne

Here's a Boing Boing TV video featuring David Byrne and his crazy musical installation, Playing the Building. 

Amy Winehouse looks better in legos than real life.

Optical illusion fun

Though this image looks animated, it's actually a static JPG.  I love optical illusions!

Radiohead webcast online right now

Radiohead is streaming a webcast which they are calling "Thumbs Down" as we speak at Radiohead.tv.  So far it's been Radiohead performing, someone spinning music to strange moving and still images, and footage of everyone just sitting around a table.  I think the performances are live, though I have not been able to find the exact details online.   

From what I've read, they did a live 'testcast' last night and performed Bjork's Unravel (see below).  I've had a lot of fun watching it so far. 

UPDATE: Right now they are playing one of my favorite songs: Umbabarauma by Ponta de Lanca Africano.  This is a lot of fun!

UPDATE 2: I do think this is live as Thom just came on and talked about it a bit.  It's almost like they are hosting a variety show.  They're now playing a video for "Jigsaw Falling Into Place" from their new album.

Coney Island remains open for another season!

Coney Island will stay open through next season.  I am very happy to hear that we can enjoy Burlesque at the Beach once again.

We're headed to Geektown today. Don't tell me you don't love it.

Check out this great video montage of all the most famous viral videos from the past few years.  It's long, but really worth watching.

Graffiti Archeology

Graffiti Archeology is a site dedicated to visually recording the evolution of graffiti.  Besides serving the function of recording art that may not otherwise be considered officially noteworthy, the website is elegantly built and a lot of fun to play around with.  Check out the evolution of graffiti on 19th St in what I think is Manhattan.  (They are a bit vague as to the actual location so as to protect it.)

Pic of the day / Oct 13

Another Flickr picture, this time from Jan2eke, a photographer in Holland who has these two ridiculous bearded collies.  They are the most entertaining dogs, named Moos and Shanny, and it's worth looking through her photoblog here.

She also has two bunnies!
