What’s so funny ’bout peace, love and understanding?

Here’s a video of My Morning Jacket’s Jim James playing Chinese Translation with M. Ward at SXSW. The video actually starts with M. Ward playing Rollercoaster on his own.

I love this. M. Ward is such a great guitar player! And Jim James is a leading god in my rock pantheon.

Found at Aquarium Drunkard.

Larry Lessig’s video endorsement of Barack Obama

Larry Lessig just posted a brilliant Lessig-style video endorsement of Barack Obama. Hopefully this will change a few minds on the morning of Super Tuesday.

Wilco on Austin City Limits

Here’s a great video of Wilco performing Impossible Germany on Austin City Limits. The song is from Sky Blue Sky, Wilco’s most recent album and one of my faves. One of the highlights of the album is the addition of free-jazz guitarist Nels Cline to the lineup. The video is a great example of what he adds to the band.

Apparently this show aired on PBS a few nights ago. However, due to the frustration that is PBS, its affiliates and how they carry and schedule shows, it doesn’t appear to be offered by our affiliate, WGBH in Boston. I guess I’ll have to track it down on BitTorrent instead.

Thanks to Aquarium Drunkard for the video.

Meet George

George is the newest member of our family. He’s a six month old “Goldendoodle” (a Golden Retriever / Poodle mix).

We met him on Saturday, October 20, and took him home the next day.

A few more pictures here.

Michael Wesch is at it again.

Another brilliant video by Michael Wesch, the man who brought us The Machine is Us/ing Us. This one is called Information R/Evolution and it’s basically David Weinberger‘s great Everything is Miscellaneous put to video.

Thanks to Rob for the pointer.

And if you haven’t seen The Machine is Us/ing Us, here it is:

This is hilarious, though not quite safe for work.

Thanks to Scott for the pointer.

Al Gore, Nobel Laureate

I love Apple’s simple homepage tribute to Al Gore and today’s news that he’s been awarded the Nobel Peace Prize.
