In the middle of the performance, a random student from the crowd hops up on stage and joins in with legendary pianist Dave Brubek. The smile on the Dave Brubek’s face gets me every time. It happens at around 2:05

That’s why I’m letting all you great photographers know about this amazing contest. Calgary Junior…

I don’t know about you guys, but personally, I’m really weary of clichéd must-read-before-you-die promotional book lists. Usually, the novels suggested on those types of lists would end up following one of those lame, unoriginal plots (and they lived happily ever after), or it would end up being one of those implausible romance stories where the…

The band OK Go is known for their extremely innovative music videos; some of these including “Here It Goes Again” using treadmills and “This Too Shall Pass,” which actually has two music videos, one using a very impressive Rube Goldberg device and the other using a marching band. Their newest video, “Needing/Getting,” was released on…

Inspired by Bon Iver after such a great performance on the Feb 4 edition of Saturday Night Live, I thought it’d be appropriate to at least post this beautiful Bon Iver cover of Bonnie Raitt‘s 1991 classic “I Can’t Make You Love Me.” Justin Vernon performed this piece on Late Night with Jimmy Fallon with…
