As good a four minute summary of Beethoven as you’ll ever see. Made around the time of LB’s Vienna recording of the 7th, one of the best available.
Coyote Vs Acme
Inspired by a great 1990 New Yorker article.
“We come now to the Acme Spring-Powered Shoes. The remains of a pair of these purchased by Mr. Coyote on June 23rd are Plaintiff’s Exhibit D. Selected fragments have been shipped to the metallurgical laboratories of the University of California at Santa Barbara for analysis, but to date no explanation has been found for this product’s sudden and extreme malfunction.”

This Guy Is A Magician
I shared this with Renfield a couple of weeks ago, but I’m posting it for you bastards too, as I’ve become addicted to this dry-witted Canadian’s YouTube channel. In this video, he somehow restores a double cutaway ’59 Les Paul Junior from a block of Swiss cheese. He describes everything he’s doing in great detail, so I recommend jumping ahead when things get slow.

MJ was last year’s reluctant golden boy. I wore the record out, and love this video. He’s from Asheville, so my kid and I went to his record release at a record store and I saw him two nights at the Orange Peel.
I Dare You To Pick This Song For Karaoke
God, this song is awful, but I can’t resist it. Sadly, at this point in my life Afternoon Delight is a bowl and a cold beer.
