Omelette du Fromage

Dexter's Lab is the bomb.

Tiny Desk Concert

This performance just blew me away. Holy moly.

Rowntree's Randoms

My brother brought these candies back to me from England. I figured any candy that uses the term "Squidgy" to describe their product deserved to be chronicled at this premises:

This is Self-Explanatory.

....

Rush Hour

I was reminded of this awesome game Rush Hour. It's a puzzle game available as a physical game or on the iPhone (for one dollar!). For countless hours of entertainment, I would recommend it's purchase.

Here's some person playing the game:

cHarmony

A funny Rick Mercer Report commerical.

Hah, Conservatives...

OK GO

This a neat video, I haven't heard of these guys before (somehow?!) but I think I will buy their album.

Heartland

Here's Owen Pallett performing at last summer's Hillside festival in a goddamn thunderstorm:

Imagine That

This was posted on a blog that I read called Modern Mechanix. Imagine if this project actually followed through? That would have been horrendous.

Cat Butt Gum

A hilarious gum package that my friend showed me over the holidays. I would recommend reading the "7 reasons to chew this gum" :

Phoenix in Paris

La Blogotheque released some take away shows (les concerts à emporter) of the band Phoenix. They sound incredible and are a pleasure to watch.

Freeze Fog

London in 1927

A colour video of London in 1927? Incredible.

Mr. Sun

Maps from 1825

I came across these maps at work, interestingly enough. They are part of a virtual exhibition about old schoolhouses and old schoolbooks.

The book that these particular maps came from is called:
A New Universal Atlas of the World, on an Improved Plan: Consisting of Thirty Maps, Carefully Prepared from the Latest Authorities with Complete Alphabetical Indexes.

Incredible.

AC's Dead

Some photographs from a cottage trip.

1956 Disneyland Footage

Here's a home video of Disneyland in 1956, one year after it opened. The music makes for very enjoyable viewing.

Home Movies At DisneyLand - 1956 from Jeff Altman on Vimeo.

I've been posting a lot of videos lately, maybe I should switch it up a little...

Brooklyn Brat Pack

This video makes me incredibly happy. It's a number of happy people dancing to "Lisztomania" by Phoenix in this sensational John Hughes/Breakfast Club style.

The Ukulele Orchestra of Great Britain

This is a phenomenal video of the Ukulele Orchestra of Great Britain performing Ennio Morricone's "The Good the Bad, and the Ugly."

The Dead Weather

Here's a truly hilarious of the Dead Weather interviewing themselves. I laughed out loud, it is truly worth 6 minutes of your time.
