Friday around the interwebs

 

- Maker’s Mark Bus Not Actually Pouring Whisky Shots [Bostonist]

- Coldplay’s video for Violet Hill:

- When I saw Colin Meloy play solo at the Paradise in 2006, he asked the audience to talk about their favorite item at Trader Joe’s while he tuned his beastly 12-string guitar. I think the consensus was Pirate’s Booty. Yelp is currently asking the same question.

 - I dug Malcom Gladwell’s article on innovation in last week’s New Yorker. So will you.

- Did you know that Decemberist John Moen was once the drummer for Elliott Smith and Stephen Malkmus and the Jinks? I didn’t. Did you know that he released a solo record on Tuesday? I didn’t. He’s recording under the name Perhapst.

- My photo doesn’t do justice to the ridiculousness that was the Apple Store opening on Boylston Street in Boston yesterday. For  better, click here to read about the opening and a dude who stayed up all night to be the first person in the store. [Boston Herald]
