Having been ably helped by my readers over the weekend in identifying a Rammstein song which apparently everybody but me already knew about, I am giving back. If you were not previously aware of the Magic Numbers, here now are two of my favorite songs of theirs. It’s driving power-pop, fast and melodic and just plain good.
But wait! I am nothing if not one who likes being introduced to new things, and the last time I did this sort of thing I learned about DJ Format, Kinky and the Greenskeepers, all of which now lurk upon my iPod. And I can always use new tunes, and I am sure all of you can use new tunes as well. So link to songs you think people will like in the comments.

This makes me want to play World of Warcraft slightly more than I did previously. We are now up to “probably never” from “definitely never.” This is the type of power Mr. T possesses.
Also: Shatner.

Deadly funny. Only one joke, but a really, really good one.

Barack Obama’s technology and open-government policy proposals are honestly some of the most inspiring things I have seen in years – commonsense use of available technology to decloak government operation and legislative debate as much as humanly possible. The fact that this sort of thing is practically revolutionary is kind of sad, but revolutionary it nonetheless is: keeping the wireless spectrum open, aggressive government support of broadband, fifty billion dollars for clean technology research, network neutrality – you name an idea supported by the technogeeks, Obama is pushing for it.
I understand that some of you may have reservations or not understand the implications thereof, so let me put it this way. Here is Anthrax and Public Enemy performing “Bring The Noise.”
Barack Obama wants you to be able to see that in even better definition using solar power forever. I trust you see why this is a great set of policy proposals now.
(I also neglected to write a while back about Obama’s emissions cap plan. Long story short: it is good, better than just about anything offered yet in America and indeed most of the world for that matter.)
Via United Hollywood, your viral video/writer’s strike mention of the day.
I really kind of suspect that the studios had no idea what they were getting into when they forced a strike.

Wisdom teeth being removed. Back in operation hopefully by Tuesday.

Seriously, the last two days have been insane. In apology, I present “Northern Touch”, by the Rascalz, also featuring just about every major name in Canadian hip-hop at the time (2001ish). It is a fun song. It has mad beats. Do you not like mad beats? Of course you like mad beats. Because they are mad.

This week, I am in a bit of a trashy Eurodancish mood again, so here is “You’re A Superstar,” by Love Inc., the band formed by two of Canada’s most obnoxious deejays.

This week: “Sucks To Be You” by Prozzak, which is probably the best joke “band” ever invented. Two members of the Philosopher Kings, a couple of cartoon fronts, and stealing Europop dancehall traditions two years after the fact and tossing them into a blender with over-the-top emo lyrics: equation for total kitsch coolness.

This week: “Incarnate,” a great song by the Watchmen. (No, not those Watchmen, the ones who aren’t the comic book Watchmen.)

It’s a commercial for a porn channel in New Zealand.
Why would a porn channel need commercials?
