Numa Numa Guy Conducts Michigan State University Marching Band Halftime Show
So …. I’m totally obsessed with this new romantic comedy web show called MerriMe. Full disclosure: I’m friendly with the producers, but I think they’ve done an amazing job with the writing, production, website, etc. It actually has a bunch of celebs in it - Tom Arnold, Tia & Tamera Mowry, Ryan Eggold (swoon).
“At a time when summer movies seem uniquely capable of consolidating the cultural discourse, our Evolution of the Modern Blockbuster series looks back to the summers, and summer movies, of 1984 and 1989, when MTV editing, post-Boomer cynicism and other cultural sea changes converged to shape the summer blockbuster we all know and can’t avoid.” (via kottke.org) “This costs $10,” [Administrator Dan Aten] says, pointing to a traditional design with opposite room layouts. “This saves 10 lives, potentially,” he said of the identical-design concept.

No updating Twitter feeds. No taking photos with phones and posting them on Facebook or Flickr. No taking videos and putting them on YouTube.” This is stupid. Song of the Week While My Guitar Gently Weeps (80s version with George, Ringo, Eric… and Phil, Elton, and Jeff) McCartney’s own musical beginnings weren’t too different from picking up Rock Band and pretending to be a star, he pointed out. “I emulated Buddy Holly, Little Richard, Jerry Lee Lewis, Elvis. We all did.” The group might have kept going that way, he said, except that they’d find themselves backstage, “and we’d hear our complete set being played by the band before us.” That’s the reason, he said, he and Lennon started writing their own songs. “It’s grown to something so big, but it really just started as a way to avoid the other bands being able to play our set.”
