Never thought that I would be linking to the Huffington Post, but here we are. Ever wondered the origin of 420? The HP offers a believable explanation.

As if the History Channel did not produce enough WWII documentaries. This new Quentin Tarantino film looks amazing. To be fair when Billy first showed me the trailor I was only half sold but now I am all for it.Also interesting to note the original movie.

I heard about this band from Kiefer Sutherland. We’re tight.

Ya’ll heard about this?  Kevin mentioned that NPR ran a story about the most popular drum sample, but all I could find was this post.  Its kinda long but interesting.  The first ten minutes explain how a 6 second drum “break” from ’69 was so widely used in the age of sampling while the rest makes a good argument against current copyright law.

I’ve always enjoyed Tom Petty’s stance on infringement.  From an interview in Rolling Stone (which I also heard about from Kevin): “…I seriously doubt that there is any negative intent there. And a lot of rock & roll songs sound alike. Ask Chuck Berry. The Strokes took “American Girl” [for their song “Last Nite”], and I saw an interview with them where they actually admitted it. That made me laugh out loud. I was like, “OK, good for you.” It doesn’t bother me.”

Couldn’t tell you why Nuns having fun entertains me, but it does. Via NotCot.org
