Sunny Friday, finally.

18 April 2008

Friday mashup

- I saw Colin Meloy solo at the Somerville Theater. It was… intelligent. Here’s the Steely Dan version of Perfect Crime #2, or how Colin originally thought they would record it.

- A collection of 2 minute, 42 second songs, dubbed the perfect length (“anything else is a waste of time”)

- This fascinating story in this week’s New Yorker highlights what happens when you spend 41 hours trapped in an elevator.

- The Gin Blossoms want you to know that they are, in fact, still a band.

- Danny Federici, keyboardist from the E Street Band, died yesterday at age 58 after battling melanoma for three years. Rest in peace.

- This is the coolest faucet I have ever seen.
