RIP Rick Kaminsky

Rick Kaminsky was the "Peanut Guy" at Mariners games (he started in 1977).  Sad to hear of his passing today.

Zombies!

I think I like this commercial so much because I just finished reading 'The Zombie Survival Guide' and am now reading 'World War Z'... both very entertaining reads.  Seriously, if zombies ever do start attacking, stick with me, I know what to do.

Rudy's Barbershop

An interesting piece on the beginning of Rudy's.  These guys seem to try really hard to not try hard and are a bit too "artsy" for me.

Guilty Pleasure #3

It has been a long time since I have written one of these.  In case you would like to see my previous two...Guilty Pleasure #1 and Guilty Pleasure #2.

Guilty Pleasure #3: Ellie Goulding - Lights

Ellie Goulding is a 24 year old British singer song writer.  I would describe her music as electropop. Wikipedia says her music could also be labeled as folktronica (I had no idea that style of music existed).  Last weekend I caught a random episode of SNL and she was the musical guest.  Maybe it was the 4 or 8 beers I had before but I really liked it.  I put a reminder in my phone to check her out the next day and to my surprise I still liked it sober.  You can't say it isn't catchy...



I appreciate her dancing even if it is pretty bad.  She pivots her left leg and then continuously does a right leg side step while moving her hips, yeah, she ain't no Usher.  Also, sweet fingerless gloves.

Here is a great example of her dancing on SNL.  Sidenote: it is really incredible she sounds decent on SNL, no matter who the band is they almost always sounds horrible on that show.  From this video I have also learned that her name is pronounced 'Golding' and not what I have originally thought 'Ghoulding'.  Much more attractive as Golding.

U-S-A! U-S-A!

Stefan asked if there is anything more American than the video he posted below. And while I have to agree that the video he posted is both wonderful and highly American, I would argue that this video is more American. In fact, I don't think it gets more American than this.

Happy birthday America!



....daddy? ...is that you?

I posted this a while ago but seriously, is there anything more American than this video?
