Ah, vinyl records. A needle vibrating as it travels within an undulating groove. I’m looking forward to getting a new LP re-release I’ve ordered. Denro spotted this video from a Boston TV show, with a discussion on the past, present, and future of music on vinyl.

Black comedy
I know that a lot of people really like comedian Lewis Black, and when I see him he does make some good, if sometimes obvious, observations. Black is on The Daily Show right now, but I can take only so much of him, because his grating delivery reminds me of Gilford Godfrey, and it gets annoying very quickly.
Apple Beatles Apple
Note: Denro says at first glance it isn’t obvious the image above isn’t official. This is the original.
My edit was done in five minutes, with Microsoft Paint and XnView, and I think it more accurately describes the significance of the announcement.
Airport security
Warning: This video shows an actual airport security screening, of a man having his groin checked.

Apple to Apple?
I don’t use iTunes, but it seems that the service will finally be offering the Beatles catalog.
Happy Oscar®, Kevin Brownlow!
Right now, TCM is showing F.W. Murnau’s silent film classic, Sunrise.
[MEDIA=35]
The first time I saw scenes from Sunrise was in the documentary series Hollywood: A Celebration of The American Silent Film, that was co-created by Kevin Brownlow. Saturday night, Brownlow received an extremely well-deserved honorary Oscar®. The Bioscopic site has an excellent post about the event, including links to videos.
