I wonder what the legal ins and outs would be of the Obama campaign just running this video as a campaign ad?

In celebration of this very amusing put-down of President Bush, here’s a bit of the master himself:
James Brown and Pavarotti
12 October 2007 – 10:18 pm
via Coudal. I can’t decide if this is brilliant or just peculiar. Is Pavarotti just singing the normal lyrics in Italian, or something else?
This one, on the other hand, is definitely just peculiar.

I’m working up to writing a long post about the book I just finished, but in the meantime, here’s a quietly hypnotic video of someone hand-feeding hummingbirds:

I’m being an absolute dynamo of behind the scenes activity, wrestling with HTML, php and CSS for your reading pleasure. Sort of. Anyway, in the absence of any other new posts, have a video of Seu Jorge:
If you haven’t seen The Life Aquatic with Steve Zissou, you should. It’s a very good film.

I saw this in the cinema the other day when I went to see Helvetica, and I thought it was worth sharing:
Moths and meteorites
13 August 2007 – 2:12 pm
With National Moth Night and the Perseids, it should have been a good weekend for night-time stuff.
I didn’t have a lot of luck on either front. Really of course you need a moth trap to count moths effectively. I had a go at treacling—spreading a mix of treacle, brown sugar and rum on tree trunks [...]
Digiscoping woodpeckers
24 July 2007 – 4:09 pm
I was having a go at photographing the juvenile Great Spotted Woodpecker that comes to the birdfeeder, but it’s kind of tricky. My success rate when digiscoping is never that high at the best of times; and as you can see, it’s not temperamentally inclined to stay still:
Still, the motion blur can be a fun [...]
Train songs
12 June 2007 – 11:00 am
Larry has posted a whole compilation of train-themed soul music over at Funky16Corners, which seemed like as good a reason as any to post this video:
Trains are a big presence in American music, of course: blues, jazz, rock and roll all have their great train songs. I don’t think they’ve ever had quite the same [...]
War—hunh—Good God, y’all

We’ll soon know whether the ‘Ugly Rumours‘ version of War has made it into the UK charts. I’d be more sympathetic to the project if it wasn’t so closely linked with the all-conquering ego of greasy, self-serving media strumpet George Galloway. Anyway, here’s Edwin Starr:
EDIT: the new version went in at #21, which isn’t bad [...]

At PFFA a while back, Melanie was complaining about a ‘best of the 70s’ compilation thtat was all one-hit wonders and disco. And how there was a lack of ‘Skynyrd, Doobies, CCR, Pink Floyd, Dire Straits, Aerosmith… [list of overblown guitar-rock acts continued for half a dozen more names]‘. As though Skynyrd ever made a [...]
