7 Unconnected Thoughts, Ideas and/or Links

1. Tonight's residency at the Echo will be great.  Can't wait to finally check out Airborne Toxic Event and hear some Radars to the Sky and Happy Hollows while I am at it. 
2. The pilot episode of Rob Corddry's new show, "The Winner" was incredible.  I was dying laughing.  The next episode wasn't as great, but still strong.  It's an amalgam of 40 Year Old Virgin, Arrested Development and How I Met Your Mother.  Not a bad combination
3. This is a fun way to pass 10 minutes.  I got 48 and felt dumb when I realized which ones I forgot.
4. Last Friday night at the Natural History Museum was a lot of fun.  I highly recommend it to anyone looking for an interesting night out.  I caught an interesting lecture, saw a pretty good 20 minute documentary, and watched Ghostland Observatory go crazy in the Hall of Mammals.  Next month features The Submarines and Plaid with a DJ set by DNTEL.  I went straight from work and didn't bring my camera, but this much needs to be said: Ghostland Observatory puts on one of the best live shows around. 
5. I read Rob Sheffield's Love is a Mix Tape over the weekend and it was quite good, but also incredibly sad.  There is a ton of music in there and I look forward to going through it again with a legal pad and a writing utensil.
6. I also ordered this book to be my next read.  I am scared it will hit home a bit too much. 
7. The photo above is by Eugene De Salignac and you can read his story here (from the New Yorker).  There is a short, but incredible slideshow to accompany.  Highly recommended.

will be happy to be proved wrong with this one.... but having done survival training during my Army days, I have to admit to a raised eyebrow with this as well.

Residents of the government-sponsored Arcosur development project, which aims to build more than 21,000 homes for people aged 20 to 35, chose videogames over more traditional

I'm the same age as Mario."
