MSG Night Two Receives Rave Reviews (Dec 13 2005 18:51 GMT) - Last night's performance at Madison Square Gardens is receiving some of the most glowing reviews that we've ever seen. Terms including "magical," "electrifying," "amazing," "unbelievable" and a "life changing force" have all been used to describe the performance, which featured Mike Doughty singing on "Jimi Thing," Robert Randolph on "Smooth Rider" and "Louisiana Bayou," and a "Christmas Song"/"Halloween"/"Ants Marching" encore. The low percentage of songs from Stand Up (about 25%) and the snow-blowing stage theatrics probably had something to do with it, too. The performance is likely to be remembered as being on par with classics like the June 11, 2001 Giants Stadium show, particularly for those who were there. |

Horny _and_ sensitive! (Dec 13 2005 18:51 GMT) - The narwhal, often termed "The Unicorn of the Sea," has a really odd tusk. It's long, spiraled, and there's only one of 'em per animal. Its purpose has been disputed for ages, but at long last, it seems that the answer has been found. |

Now show me how to do the thing with the termites and the stick. (Dec 13 2005 18:51 GMT) - It's official, humans are dumber than chimps. These guys show (at the NY Times level) that human kids will over-imitate every ritualized nuance modeled for them, whereas chimp kids just wanna get the damn cookie out of the box.

Paris by night by 15000 by 520 pixels (Dec 13 2005 18:51 GMT) - This utterly stunning panorama of Paris by night (WARNING! 15000x520 image, 1.8mb) is almost too good to be true. You can see so many landmarks it's ridiculous - this version has them labelled for your convenience. I traced it back to Arnaud Friche's gallery of panoramic photographs of Paris, churches and cathedrals, and other cities. |

A Penny Slug for Peace (Dec 13 2005 18:51 GMT) - ? Somebody snitched on me ? Nuttin' for Christmas by Stan Freberg is one of those old-time favorites that's simply too cynical to be considered a holiday classic. When Strange Reaction [mefi] posted a selection of punk Christmas tunes, I was introduced to the Vindictives cover version [mp3 nsfw] which takes some amusing liberties with the lyrics. After some googling, it seems Nuttin' for Christmas is a song for which people love creating their own words, often in poor taste. But the original [midi] itself extends of an ancient yule tradition of releasing pent up negativity and resolving to begin the new year all straight edge and shit. |

2 XTREEM 2 LIVE (Dec 13 2005 18:51 GMT) - Remember Surge? It was a Mountain Dew knockoff from the Super Wicked Radical days of the mid 90's. Reflecting the times, Surge was the color of radiator coolant and as thick as labrador drool. Inexplicably, it failed (except in Norway and also may have been the inspiration for this). The site is a magnificent document of true love for a dead product (and the opposite of Pepsi Blue on so many levels. |
