His name is Hero, and there is a short piece from Korean TV about him. (No English translation, but there is a bio in the "About this video" section which states, "I was born in Seoul, Korea on Sept.2003. I am not only extreme mania of The Beatles who is the greatest musician, immortal idol of the mankind but also well-informed on autocars beyond just mania." And it shows.
(Via Copy, Right?)
Whoever writes these is either really bored or really stoned. Or both.
Unless you are a member of the Amish, fear is usually the reason for holding out against new technology, but these days the Internet is no longer difficult to master. If you can get money out of a bank machine, then you can send and receive e-mail and browse the World Wide Web; all it entails is pointing and clicking.
1. You need a computer, of course. An Apple Macintosh is easiest to use...
2. You need a modem to connect your computer to a phone line. You need a fast one, 28.8kbps or more...
3. You need a service provider to connect you to the internet. This is just a phone number that your computer dials when you click on the Internet icon...It doesn't matter where in the world you travel on the Internet, you only pay for the local phone call to your server.
Here's a Arsenal 3 - Tottenham Hotspur 1 version. Subtitles very NSFW, with gratuitous dig at Steve Nash.
Jarvik reminded me of someone and I couldn't put my finger on it. There's a little John Malkovich there, maybe a little Spalding Gray. But then it hit me: he should be lowering the medicine in a bucket down a well and saying, "It takes the Lipitor and it reduces its bad cholestrol."
The good news is that the House Energy and Commerce committee is including him in their investigation of prescription medicine marketing.
He's married to that Marilyn vos Savant woman. (Looks like the son that commercial is actually hers from a previous marriage.)
Why does everyone make such a big deal about her last name? Even her old station does in this farewell.
Speaking of news bloopers, I hadn't heard about this one from 2006 until recently. BBC News 24 was due to interview an internet expert about the Apple Computers vs Beatles lawsuit. Instead, they ended up with Guy Goma who had shown up for a job interview. The look on his face when he's introduced is priceless. He gamely tries to answer her questions, and she is obviously not listening to his answers or can't understand his accent.
Also recommended: Adrian Crowley. Ryan Adams likes him. There's a Will Oldham cover ("West Palm Beach") on his MySpace.
(On this unofficial Neil Finn MySpace, you can hear father and son cover the Beatles' "Two Of Us", and Neil cover "Sexual Healing"!)
And try the Mash'dup House page, with Crowded House mash-ups, sensitively done.
An example from Crossword No. 13,413, published December 20th, 2007:
At this stage the tree gets a hat. (7)
Then again, Crosaire is set by a 90-year-old who has been doing this for over 60 years, so I should cut him some slack.
The Observer also links to The Old 97's and "Have A Holly Jolly Christmas". (But "Christmas Time Is Here" is better.)
rbally has old R.E.M. Christmas fan club songs. Surviving The Golden Age has the latest R.E.M. fan club song, a cover of Slade's "Merry Xmas Everybody".
If you like remixes of old songs, Analog Giant has Dean Martin remixed by Dan The Automator.
And it's not Christmas without Chris Rea (at Keep The Coffee Coming). Lovely piano.
Coverville has a great video of a college men's choir performing a Christmas medley.
Finally, the Pine Cone Punks still have their MySpace page, but no new songs since "Coal For Christmas".
Meanwhile, more details come to light of the "dig-out" in the 1990s when some of his "friends" gave him "loans". Choice quotes:
Be sure to read the biography section of this unofficial website.
The Times lists her as one of the New Acts Of The Year.
She also works with Piano Magic and is part of the duo Ginger Ale (my fave beverage!).
Was she named after the Scritti Politti song? And don't miss "The Sweetest Girl" and "Wood Beez". I had never heard his Beatles' cover, "She's A Woman" or his Stevie Wonder cover, "I Don't Know Why I Love You".
Henley rushed up the stairs and into the bedroom. As he entered, he saw the closet door slam shut. Bare feet poked out from under the curtains. And the bed was raised up off the floor, and teetered from side to side.
His wife, out of breath, pretended to brush her hair at the dressing table. "Hi Donny," she said, "what's wrong?"
Henley exploded.
"You can't hide your Illini."
Mangini- head coach of the New York Jets.
Mangina - head coach of the Seton Hall Women's Basketball team (along with other more disgusting meanings of the word).
Mangine - trainer for the University of Cincinnati Bobcats.
Manginu is still available for any would-be coaches.
The state of Arkansas passed a resolution in 1881 that the "s" should be silent. There was a filthy Ozark recitation on the subject.
Quite apart from his mispronunciation, I dislike Miles' style of speaking, which is reminiscent of our current President's. Why do coaches talk in this overly dramatic, overly emotional, us-against-the-world way? (OSU's Mike Gundy is still the one to beat for 2007.)
And why oh why is "Coach" treated as a title for life, a la "Maestro"? Didn't they fight a revolution in this country to get rid of titles?
