EARTHQUAKE!!!

For a lot of people in my department, this is their first.
Sigh… you never forget your first.

I made the highest quality mp3 version of Grizzly Bears “Two Weeks” live on Letterman. Seriously, this is the best fucking rip of the song. I downloaded an HD rip of the show and transcoded the audio to 320kbps. So download it as I walk over to see Blue Oyster Cult at the Santa Cruz Boardwalk.
I’m not one for hyperbole -ok, maybe I am - but Ben is the best person. Ever.

“Whenever I get a package of plain M&Ms, I make it my duty to continue the strength and robustness of the candy as a species. To this end, I hold M&M duels. Taking two candies between my thumb and forefinger, I apply pressure, squeezing them together until one of them breaks and splinters. That is the “loser,” and I eat the inferior one immediately. The winner gets to go another round. I have found that, in general, the brown and red M&Ms are tougher, and the newer blue ones are genetically inferior. I have hypothesized that the blue M&Ms as a race cannot survive long in the intense theater of competition that is the modern candy and snack-food world.”
