If I had a better cell phone, I'd probably download one of these. As it is, I'll just have to stick with my pseudo-midi default files.

Free tunes are ace.

Harvey Danger's got a new cd out, and they're offering the entire thing as a free download on their site. A bit Ben Folds-y. Quite a bit Jellyfish-y. All in all, pretty good. And free! Bless.

Bradley sent me this clip of an octopus camouflaging itself, and I naturally assumed it was fake. Until I found the site of the person who shot the video.

The poster, which is modeled after an advertisement for the movie 'The Matrix,' is the brainchild of Father Meyer. It features a priest in full cassock -- and the requisite Roman collar -- holding a cross in one hand and a rosary in the other. And he is wearing sunglasses.

Interesting wine trend – screw tops.

Hoping to separate their wine from the stereotypically stodgy, sommelier-approved wine culture, Virgin is marketing the wine with the tagline “Unscrew it, let’s do it”. With just two varieties (red Shiraz and white Chardonnay), the screw-top wine brand is hoping to make the wine purchasing process less intimidating to those lacking Sideways-level wine knowledge, while also offering something a few steps up from Boone’s Farm or even Charles Shaw (aka “Two Buck Chuck”). Jakes Fault is another new wine label targeting young wine drinkers with the screw tops and a Shiraz-exclusive selection. Both Virgin Vines and Jakes Fault reportedly have a price tag around 10 bucks. As the trend for domesticity continues, we expect these new labels to do well on the dinner party circuit.
