Which is the better Letterman late night Youtube video: Harmony Korine or Crispin Glover?

Behold: awesome business card designs.

Is there a campus rape myth circulating?

Okee-doke; hopefully, there's more to come on a more frequent basis, but isn't that always the blogger's promise?

Can Buffalo ever come back?

A blogger for The Economist concludes that strict U.S. border controls hamper Buffalo's recovery.

I often wondered when I was younger: Who was (is?) D.B. Cooper? We may now know.

The CBC produced an interesting intro to the NHL All-Star Game that reminds me of a long-forgotten game for the Commodore-64.

Is the road to prosperity francophone or anglophone?

In a deleted scene from Pulp Fiction, Mrs. Mia Wallace asks Vincent Vega if he's an Elvis man or a Beatles man. You're one or the other, and on the thirtieth anniversary of the King's death, I must declare myself the former.

That said, the King may be dead, but modern music isn't. To wit:

* "Respect" has nothing on Aretha's best. Jim and Dan are at their understated best here as well. Best, I says.

* "I saw her naked... twice!"

* Here's Ted Leo not bloodying his forehead on a microphone.

* Man Man puts on a show. Give me a Man Man/Gogol Bordello/Boredoms live triple bill, and I can die a happy man.

More to come... including some older performances and a recent Frank Black gig that trumps anything he's done in recent memory.
