It’s not normally the type of music I like, but I kinda dig this song. All the charm would be lost though if they had to edit it for TV or Radio.

When I saw Ben Folds in Fargo a while back he mentioned that he was going to be making an album with Nick Hornby. This is the first song off the album that is coming out September 28th.

He calls this video a “videosong”, which means in his words:

Things You Think is (almost!) a VideoSong, a new medium with 2 rules:
1. What you see is what you hear (no lip-syncing for instruments or voice).
2. If you hear it, at some point you see it (no hidden sounds).

Oh, and I like it a lot.

**Update** Ok, I guess this song isn’t off Ben Folds’ new album. Here is a little more from Ben.

To be clear! “Things You Think” is not on the album. I know its all weird timing but I hope nobody gets the wrong idea. The album is not spoken word and in fact, Nick’s voice isn’t on the album either. Nick wrote the lyrics for the album, sent them to me, and I made music for it. The VideoSong is a totally different thing.

I don’t know why I didn’t post this video before. Probably because in my world, Sing It Loud is a pretty popular band, but in real life they probably aren’t. They are a great band from Minneapolis that I have seen twice. I love this video because it was filmed in Minneapolis, and shows off many of the famous landmarks.

I missed the Perseids this year because of bad weather. This is a great time-lapse video of what I missed. Look at that sky! I wish the sky looked that good here in town. Damn you light pollution.

I guess I am not the only one who thinks road signs are backwards. I read them backwards every time.

The card trick starts about 1:40 into the video. I love this card trick, and it amazes me even though I know how it’s done. I have always wanted to be good at card tricks, but I can never remember them, and haven’t put it the time to learn all the fake shuffles well enough to pull them off so smoothly.

Tegan and Sara released their video for “Northshore” today. It’s one of my favorite songs off their latest album, but don’t ask me which one is Tegan and which one is Sara. I can never for the life of me tell them apart.

It’s all your pseudoscience and nonsense in one simple table. It’s pretty sad that so much nonsense is out there. It’s even sadder all the people that believe in it, and all the people making money off of them. If you believe in any of this stuff…well…you shouldn’t.
