I'M WE'RE JUST SAYIN': "What's Inside"

"What's Inside" - You're Best Friend

From the new Wired/PBS show Wired Science, hosted by Chris Hardwick of Hard 'n' Phirm "fame."

If only my high school science classes had been like this, I wouldn't have become such a science lame-o.

(h/t boingboing)

UPDATE: I guess if I really wanted to stop being a science lame-o, I could start "attending" Berkeley's YouTube lectures (Integrative Biology & Physics 10 - Physics for Future Presidents) but I've discovered (for me at least) that large lecture halls are even harder to take on a computer screen than they were in real life (I attended a school with 44,999 other students):

I think I'm gonna stick with the funny Wired guys even though this is a very cool thing for Berkeley to do.

Krup said...: nope, don't believe i did. in fact, i can't actually remember taking science classes in high school (that would probably explain the lame-o label a lot better). i do remember my drunk biology teacher from junior high, however. miss hinson. hooboy...; 1:49 PM EDT

Heavy Rotation (Shuffle Mode Suggested)

This is the Weisnick Family's everyday playlist. It changes (somewhat) on a weekly basis as new albums are released (or when my mood shifts). It is fairly eclectic and is reminsiscent of a time when radio was unsegregated.

The first 47 songs on this playlist were originally assembled by musician Ryuichi Sakamoto for his favorite Japanese restaurant in New York City. He loved the food but he hated the music so he created a playlist that complemented the dining experience rather than distracted from it. The rest of the playlist was created by a Spotify algorithm that picks songs similar to what has been previously played when a playlist runs out of tracks. Beyond dinner, this playlist is highly recommended for chilling, relaxing, and releasing cobwebs from your brain. (More Information)

The "best" new music of 2019, updated every Friday.

#Ones That Never Were: Pretty much what the title implies, if you had my taste in so-called "pop" music. Kind of a Desert Island Playlist, for the Weisnicks.

Music for driving through the fog on Mulholland Drive or smoking a cigarette in the rain outside a jazz club in NYC.

Cover Tunes. Lots of Cover Tunes.

Just in case you forget to breathe. A perfect antidote for the daily news cycle.

The complete Beastie Boys masterpiece and most of the songs they sampled.

Some of the best music of the last decade was created or fronted by women. It's true. Have a listen...

Late '70s, Early '80s goodness.

May We Suggest a Decanter of Manhattan, Martini, or Daiquiri?

All things Eno-related (his bands, his solo recordings, his collaborations, his productions, his Enosification). Pretty much the history of modern music.

Currently the best soundtrack composer in the business (IMHO)
