You’ve always wanted to see Chewie and a Jawa dance to Footloose, haven’t you?  And Darth Vader doing Thriller with a bunch of stormtroopers?

If I didn’t go on about it enough, and you ever wondered what Björk screaming “Declare independence!” at a seething crowd was like, well, it was like this. Also you get to see the guy playing that bizarre electronic table thing (what’s that called G?)

Ooh - further investigation reveals that the clip above is from Björk’s tour film, which is being released as part of the Voltaic box set which has (oh good Lord) so much amazing stuff on it.  Guh. Can’t see it’s been fully released in Australia, but there’s always overseas order…one day…and then I’ll make everyone watch the concert footage.  Prepare for Björk overload!

Missing your gallbladder? No trouble, replace it with this one — it’s cuter and never gets gallstones. The gallbladder collects & concentrates bile, a substance made by the liver and used to digest fats & acids. Gallstones develop over time if we eat too much fat. So give your gallbladder a break and lay off the burgers, why don’t ya? (via I Heart Guts, Love Your Insides)

So, a) I hadn’t seen this before. (Yeah, yeah, my music snob membership card is in the shredder as we speak) But b) via the movie’s wikipedia page, shares ‘thematic concerns’ with Synecdoche, New York.

“Not only is the sleep deprivation utterly crushing for the first couple days of Uberman-adjustment, but maintaining the schedule requires the kind of anal-retentivity that you usually only see in damaged people (like Lex Luthor or Dr. Doom).”

Probably why I won’t be adopting the Uberman polyphasic sleep schedule.  I’m just not evil enough.

Aimee Mann: Daytrotter Session

There’s an Aimee Mann Daytrotter session and I didn’t know about it until now!? I would be so mad right now if I didn’t have free Aimee Mann mp3s to listen to.
