Check out this video of rally car legend Walter Röhrl. The way he works the pedals is pretty amazing, but probably the craziest part are the fans lined along the "track."

Laura Veirs / "Galaxies"
Laura Veirs got a lot of press last year for her album Year of Meteors, but I never bothered to check it out. Then Neile posted some good stuff from her forthcoming album Saltbreakers and I'm finally coming around.
Television Personalities / "You Kept Me Waiting Too Long...(E*Vax Remix)"
Ratatat's Evan Mast did a remix for Television Personalities, a British band I'd never heard of, and it sounds like something Ratatat would be responsible for, which also means I like it. I thought TVP sounded kind of like they'd been around, and sure enough, they've been around forever.
Dungen / "Gör Det Nu"
Here's a freebie from the upcoming Dungen LP, it's not the best song on the album but not bad either.

One thing I HATE is when people don't return shopping carts in the grocery store parking lot. It's bad enough when parking spots are partially filled by a stray cart, but on a windy night it becomes a serious hazard to your car's paint job. The good people at the Census Bureau agree, and wanted us to know it's Return Shopping Carts to the Supermarket Month.

I have been protesting the Academy for years to create a "best short foreign film with porn music about rally car racing" category. If this piece about Rohrl cannot persuade them I fear nothing will.
