I keep finding my way to Mental Floss:
For the peeps that enjoy Hunter S. Thompson, here is an scary/funny article about his daily routine and how perfect the biographer was:

Or another video about the 45 Odd Facts about US Presidents.
It’s NCAA tournament time again, or rather that time of year when I fill out a basketball bracket only to realize two days later that I know nothing about basketball. Never fails, and you’ll all be glad to know that hasn’t changed (special thanks to New Mexico, Wisconsin, and Georgetown in particular)
That being said, I’ve found my new favorite source for coverage on this year’s tournament, thanks to Bill Simmons’ website http://www.grantland.com/ . They’ve added a new writer to cover this year’s tournament, Mark Titus, and if you haven’t heard of him I suggest you check him out, or check out his blog http://clubtrillion.com/ He is a former walk-on basketball player at Ohio State, and started this blog to document the life on the basketball team, which he spent warming the bench for final four teams. Pretty neat. He has a book too, called “Don’t Put Me In Coach”, which I hope to check out soon.
I’m gonna go ahead and assume this hasn’t been posted here yet. I am in the process at work of trying to come up with some new marketing ideas, the 5 second video came across my mind but I’m not sure I want to pass this along to the bosses:
I e-mailed this to Brian originally, forgetting that the Bruce would be just as good of a platform to share this:
Upon seeing Jack White’s Blunderbuss on Amazon for a bargain I naturally wanted to see if I could pay a similar price on his website Third Man Records (in the hopes that money spent on his website could more or less go directly to him, unfortunately there isn’t even an option for a mp3 only download.)
What I did discover however was the new project featured on the Third Man front page of another favorite, Brittany Howard (from Alabama Shakes) and Ruby Amanfu, from Jack White’s “Love Interruption.” Their new release is on the Third Man Soundcloud called “I Wonder”:
This cover is originally by Rodriguez who you may or may not know is the subject of the 2013 Best Documentary winning movie “Searching for Sugar Man.” I remember the movie winning and being interested in watching it (it even has a 96% rating on RottenTomatoes.) Luckily enough it seems to be available on Redbox, so let’s hope it lives up to the hype that I’m giving it.
Everyone I asked already knew that Chumbawamba was mostly a political band (with exception to their major hit), but me. So if everyone has heard this cover and minute addition to the Beatles’ Her Majesty, sorry.
