Fuck. I love this song. The video? Not so much. I selected it because of the other ones on YouTube don’t have that weird stuff popping out of the piano. Okay, it’s pretty weird.

“Oh, Joe Camel, Don’t you cry for me. You gave my uncle cancer. But you’ll pay the lawyer’s fee”

Link of the Day [9.19.11]Woke up to this in my in box: Netflix is splitting the DVD service completely from its streaming service. This is its first steps into selling the DVD distribution off to some sucker. I still like getting DVDs. The streaming service lacks because it is missing content. It's gonna be even trickier in the future as content makers can just create their own service removing the Netflix middle man. The future is even more uncertain. Thanks disintermediation!http://blog.netflix.com/2011/09/explanation-and-some-reflections.html

Link of the Day [9.15.11]Replace Houston with Baltimore in today's link and you'll have the story of the Orioles. Except in this case the O's never got to the World Series in the last 30 years, and they never had a winning season in 14 years. Plus, they haven't produced a star out of their farm system since Cal Ripken, Jr. For all this talk about Houston being rock bottom, let me paraphrase Brad Pitt from the soon to be released movie, Moneyball: there's rock bottom, then there' fifty feet of crap, and then there's [the A's], and then there's the Orioles.http://www.grantland.com/story/_/id/6967153/rock-bottom-h-town

As I said on twitter, “Watch Contagion and then never touch anything ever again.“

Contagion will freak you out about germs, viruses, the flu, HIV, venereal diseases, and almost anything contagious. It’ll scare you.

I didn’t know this was a Soderbergh movie.

I liked how clinical this movie was. This is the virus. This is the patient. These are the victims. They’re all dead. You couldn’t sympathize with anyone, because you had to sympathize with everyone.

3 of 5 stars.
