"Before you know it as the years go by, you're just like other people you have seen, with all those peculiar human ailments. Just another vehicle for temper and vanity and rashness and all the rest. Who wants it? Who needs it? These things occupy the place where a man's soul should be." -- Henderson the Rain King

Okkervil on Conan

Okkervil River made their national television debut earlier this week on Conan O'Brien. They played a rousing rendition of "Our Life is Not a Movie or Maybe" from their excellent new album. Check it out.

Vern Fonk Outdoes Themselves

If you live in the Seattle area you're probably already aware of the awesomeness that is the Vern Fonk insurance commercial. I'm gonna have to nominate this latest one for greatest commercial ever though. You can watch some of the older goodies here.

Minor League Manager Tirade

This video of Asheville Tourists manager Joe Mikulik doing his best Lou Pinella impression is most excellent. There are several versions up on YouTube, but I like the goofy annoucer's play-by-play on this version.

Viva Pinata

Picked up Viva Pinata today and am finding it strangely addictive. Very strangely.

If you haven't seen the ad for the game it's worth a looksee...I promise it is way funnier than any of the ads ran during the Super Bowl...almost Geico Caveman funny.

David Korten

Caught most of this fascinating speech by David Korten on NPR the other day. Well worth the 30 minutes, but you can get a quick excerpt here. I unfortunately couldn't track down a podcast, so YouTube it is. The speech is based on his new book The Great Turning: From Empire to Earth Community. Looks like he'll be coming out to speak at Seattle U. in March if you're interested in seeing the live version.

Cigarette State

If you ever get a chance to see Robbie Fulks live you gotta go. You won't regret it. It's been awhile since I've seen him and it's YouTube Monday so here's a video of him playing "Cigarette State" on Corporate Country Sucks, a TV show in Chicago.

Fainting Goats

This is probably old news, but it's new to me...and it's hilarious. Looks like it's legit too.
