On the plus side, I never had any desire to buy Vitaminwater to begin with, so this commercial doesn’t make me any less likely to.

A daily miasma of frivolity by two wanna-be cultural critics. Or: just, like, some good links, dude.

Django Reinhardt and Duke Ellington
You may have noticed that Colin and I have a bit of a liking for the jazz music, but if you haven’t, I’ll just reblog this photo of Django Reinhardt and Duke Ellington for no reason other than it’s Django Reinhardt and Duke Ellington.

I think I got everything in the title.
Museum of Endangered Sounds
Brendan Chilcutt:
I launched the site in January of 2012 as a way to preserve the sounds made famous by my favorite old technologies and electronics equipment.
The site design is really quite obnoxious, but modem sounds and the original Nokia ringtone? I am more than willing to deal with that.
I spent basically all of yesterday jamming to the music from the first stage of The Adventures of Bayou Billy, so now seems like an opportune time to post Evil Horde’s arrangement of it (and another stage theme), “El Lagarto” from OverClocked ReMix.
Latin disco funk? Oh yes.

Apparently people uploading full albums to YouTube is a thing, so here’s one: today’s the release date of Neil Young and Crazy Horse’s latest collab, a collection of American standards like “Clementine”, “This Land is Your Land”, “Oh Susannah”, in their signature hard rock / grunge style. Some great takes on some true-blue American songs from a dirty Canadian red.

‘First Amendment rights can be terminated’: When cops, cameras don’t mix
‘First Amendment rights can be terminated’: When cops, cameras don’t mix
Bob Sullivan for MSNBC’s The Red Tape Chronicles blog:
“Your First Amendment rights can be terminated,” yells the Chicago police officer, caught on video right before arresting two journalists outside a Chicago hospital. One, an NBC News photographer, was led away in handcuffs essentially for taking pictures in a public place. He was released only minutes later, but the damage was done. Chicago cops suffered an embarrassing “caught on tape” moment, and civil rights experts who say cops are unfairly cracking down on citizens with cameras had their iconic moment.
You’re more or less allowed to film police in the course of their duties, as long as you’re on public property. Sullivan’s piece has extensive comments from two lawyers on the subject.

I’m not sure if it was outflow, or lightning related, but something lit this power station up for a solid 20-30 seconds.
Those colors, man.
Livermorium and Flerovium join the periodic table of elements
Livermorium and Flerovium join the periodic table of elements
Anne M Stark for Phys.Org:
The International Union of Pure and Applied Chemistry (IUPAC) today officially approved new names for elements 114 and 116, the latest heavy elements to be added to the periodic table.
Scientists of the Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory (LLNL)-Dubna collaboration proposed the names as Flerovium for element 114, with the symbol Fl, and Livermorium for element 116, with the symbol Lv, late last year.
Elements 113, 115, 117, and 118 are still nameless.

- So can we call them all Eastwoodium for the time being?
