T-Rex Trying To Put On A Cardigan
#TRexTrying
@dhemery: This little guy will never see a better show in his life.
@joeymcallister: The whole time, I was waitin’ for the hammer to hammer to fall.
@dhemery: Given the end of that video, I’d say the kid’s gonna grow up and take your job. :-0
@joeymcallister: Oh, I hope so! When I’m old and arthritic, I want to crank my hearing aid and hear a lot of rock and roll.
We only watched a few minutes, but surely this must be the best moment of tonight’s Golden Globes.
This is a brilliant vending machine at Slabtown Bar in Portland. It’s got a selection of strings, drum sticks, glass guitar slides, 9-volt batteries, picks, etc.
“We’re close to some really fundamental truths about human nature. My views about human nature are that it affords infinite potential for lightness and dark. There are lots and lots of lessons here, but one is, I think, when you’re enjoined to do something for the greater good, maybe ask yourself the question, “What is ‘greater’; what is ‘good’?”
Alex Haslam, professor of psychology at the University of Exeter, on Radiolab episode The Bad Show
“We never did The Shape Of Punk To Come justice back when it came out, too tangled up in petty internal bickering to really focus on the job. And suddenly there’s this possibility to do it like it was intended. We wanna do it over, do it right.”

Fascinating New York Magazine article on the problem with relying on JavaScript for the simple yet critical tasks that numerous other, more robust tools and protocols can handle better by design.
Just fascinating.
Constructing witty retort …
I remember most of my drum lessons going something like this:
Sal Mineo: I’ll never get that one.
Gene Krupa: Yes, you can. Come on, let’s try it again.
Very cool video.
First Aid Kit: “Emmylou” (Official Video)
First Aid Kit filmed a clip for their new homage to Gram Parsons, Emmylou Harris, Johnny Cash, and June Carter in the perfect location: Joshua Tree National Park, one of Parsons’ favorite haunts and — according to a famous ’70s rock story — his final resting place. Not only did the Swedish duo get the setting and reverent allusion to that story just right, but they also shot this scenic video on what would have been Parsons’ 65th birthday last November. Above, enjoy the Maximilla Lukacs-directed clip and excellent Mike Mogis-produced single from The Lion’s Roar.
Beautiful. So American. But Swedish. Fascinating.
Kickass Cover of the Day: Sarah Blackwood and the four members of Walk Off the Earth split one guitar in their striking cover of Gotye and Kimbra’s Sting-ish single “Somebody That I Used to Know.”

Gotye and Kimbra’s original was my favorite track of 2011, and this is a wonderful cover. Definitively want to hear more from Walk Off the Earth.
