Prince and the Revolution rehearsal videos, 1984, including some songs that you may not have heard of. The Tiny Glyph is a fiend about getting his videos pulled from YouTube, so get 'em while the getting's good.
Easily Amused: The Sequel

I was in a Russian folk orchestra at the University of Illinois back in the day, and used to envy some of the smaller ensembles that we'd see occasionally because they could be really tight like this. They're quite good.

Jan. 12th, 2010 02:26 pmA round-up (although possibly not comprehensive--I seem to recall reading about others that aren't listed here) of restaurant challenges for free food. Now that I'm on a diet, this is like the dirtiest porn ever. In aggregate, I think that they constitute an entire cow, plus a couple of hogs and a fifty-winged chicken.

Someone who left my planet too soon
Oct. 29th, 2009 01:47 pmI tend to avoid what Snopes calls glurge, "inspirational" stories passed on by email forwarding, because even when the story is true, it seems that they get changed in the telling, and usually with an exhortation pasted on the end to read the Bible or go to church, preferably the sender's.
