Jackie, Why Have You Forsaken Me?
I credit a substantial part of my upbringing to Wayne’s World, Mr. Bean, and Jackie Chan. And just like Mr Bean tarnished his memory by making those awful movies, Jackie has ruined his with his entrance into mainstream American movies. This video says it so much better:

1987 Aerobic Champs.
So after giving Tosh.0 a shot, I’ve come to like it. Sometimes I’m already familiar with the clips he shows, other times I discover new ones that entertain me, if only until another replaces them. So, since embedding was disabled, here’s the link.

Enjoy This, You Stoned Slackers
I don’t usually watch the Daily Show unless Ellen or Maria recommends a particular show, but love it show regardless. I thought this interview on The O’Reilly Factor was worth a post; I think it went better than other arguments with rivals. Via (as per usual) Pop Candy

Music!
Some music happenings:
Lots of music singles for Haiti. There is the Hope for Haiti with a bunch of artists. Lionel Richie got a bunch of celebrities together to remake We Are The World (“flashes of Quincy”). (Which still won’t be as good as the Band Aid’s Do The Know It’s Chirstmas or the less popular but still amazing version by Gram Aid.) Simon Cowel put together a star studded remake of Everybody hurts. And last, but not least, is Shane MacGowan and his bat-shit crazy partner are covering I Put A Spell On You also with celebrity backing.
AA Bondy is the singer-songwriter/indie-ballad type that Norah should be all over. He gets a lot of plays on my ipod because he is the first artist alphabetically and gets covered a lot on Rollo & Grady, but I mention him now cause he has a session available at Daytrotter.
Sharon Jones and the Dap Kings are coming out with a new album and are giving away their first single.
Adam Bones, of the late The Late Nights fame, is trying to play South By Southwest. You can help him by watching his video.
