all of his videos on crackle are pretty great. and penn & teller’s show at the rio, btw, is totally awesome. i really want to see it again – it was the first (and only) show i saw in vegas.

from the madeloud.com review of the edward sharpe and the magnetic zeroes album:
Make no mistake, though: Edward Sharpe & the Magnificent Zeros are no jam band. Don’t think Phish; instead, imagine what Arcade Fire would sound like if they’d sprouted up in Southern California, hanging out in a sun-baked backyard rather than hunkered down in a chilly old church in Canada.
me: i think you put it better
me: and more succinctly
eric: yeah, maybe “chilly old church” means their butt
eric: and “hunkered down” means they put a stick up in it
check out the coverage on the conan o’brien show of the general panic southern californians fall to when it rains. there have been a ton of accidents and ‘breaking weather reports’ for a ‘rainstorm’ any sane person would classify as a drizzle, if that. i think it actually rained once, and it wasn’t even that hard or that impressive. not nearly enough to cause the biblical flash floods in the burn zones that tv stations kept threatening would occur, which is the only reason i can think of for the amount of chaos precipitation causes around here.
