Bloc Party Clip

2:37 into Bloc Party’s song This Modern Love from their 2005 Silent Alarm release is one of my favorite moments in music from the past couple of years. There’s just this massive wave of sound and emotion coming through the speakers when the melody is torn down to it’s essentials; the whirlwind tour through major chord harmonies by overdubbed voices sends chills down my spine every time I hear it.

And hey! I found you can listen to This Modern Love online… now you can hear what I was talking about.

Fake Rust Decals

Now we travel to this link: MoCo Loco: Anti-Theft Bike/Car Device. There, you’ll find that you can prevent theft of your new mode of transportation by applying fake rust, scratch, and dent decals that are stunningly realistic.

But then your new mode of transportation appears to be rusted, scratched, and dented.

The Namesake

VideoETA says that The Namesake will be released on November 27, 2007. When that date comes, you should see this movie. For those who have no idea of what I am talking about, the Chicago Sun-Times had a good review when The Namesake was first released in the US.

Since it’s cooler out, the chocolate is not very soft — this makes pyramid construction difficult.

Sugar Alcohol

Sugar Alcohol

Less sweet than sugar, but still usable on food: erythritol.

From the article: “It is 60-70% as sweet as table sugar yet it is virtually non-caloric, does not affect blood sugar, does not cause tooth decay, and is absorbed by the body, therefore unlikely to cause gastric side effects unlike other sugar alcohols. Under U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) labeling requirements, it has a caloric value of 0.2 calories per gram (95% less than sugar and other carbohydrates), but some countries like Japan label it at 0 calories.”
