Yet another example of why Bill Murray is one of the greatest people in the universe.  (Also, see if you can spot The Wife — and my unborn child! — in this one.)

The Arcade Fire are coming to MSG, and judging from this trailer, they’re going to be streaming one of their concerts (directed by a well-known yet unnamed individual), live over YouTube. I do believe I will have to check it out.   UPDATE: Looks like Terry Gilliam will be directing!

Drowning Doesn’t Look Like Drowning. →
Everyone needs to read this article — it does a great job of explaining what to look for when someone is drowning.( If you think it looks anything like the movies, you’re wrong.)

Gone Viral.
Sometimes, even I, a daily web user, miss out on hilarious internet phenomena.  It would seem “GIANT DOUBLE RAINBOW” guy (now with over two million hits) is one of those things.  Here is a collection of other enjoyable tidbits, in case you missed out on them, too. Missy The Lost Cat (from Jeff) Peter Gabriel Sings Tom Waits Big Bang Big Boom, incredible wall painted animation ...

Ice Hockey by Larry Cohen. →
If you dig New Jersey, and you dig hockey — especially Devils’ hockey (which, I happen to know, a few of you out there do) — then check out this project a pal of mine is putting together.  If you’ve got five bucks to spare, he could use it.

"AMERICA: F--K YEAH!!! A HISTORIC WIN." →
It is always irrational to get happy and sad and disappointed and ecstatic over strangers playing a game over which we have no influence, but such is the magic of sports that it does this to us. Did I really just write “magic of sports”? I did. I’m sorry. I’m emotional. And I don’t know how else to describe it. I shouldn’t care and yet I couldn’t care...

The singer sounds uncannily like Peter Gabriel, which (to me) is a good thing.  I think the song itself would fit right in with anything on Us or So (again, a good thing). B.) The video is a “single-take live performance, edited with...
