Bears in Bee Suits

David Usher just posted a photo on his blog that shows stuffed animals in the spot where they used to cell CDs at Starbucks:

Remember where the music at Starbuck use to sit. Apparently teddy bears in bee suits bring in more revenue. Not a cd to be found in the place.

This says a lot about the music industry and the woes it is going through right now. It says even more about our society’s love of stuffed bears in bee suits.

(Funny enough, I was reading David’s blog post just as his track White Flag came up on my iPod. David’s a great example of musicians really engaging with the new media landscape.)

I need some of this today. The love, that is. I’m not really a big fan of watermelon.  (via)

3 Movie Characters I Identify With

Tyler asks what three movie characters I identify with. Definitely not an easy answer to give, but let’s see what the first three things that pop into my head are:

There’s a few characters that are now jumping into my head like Beast, Edward, Izzy, Joel Barish, and Victor Laszlo, but since those three above were the first that popped into my head, let’s go with those.

Happy Canada Day everyone. Enjoy your day off. I’m working.

The inherent problem with watching Wall-E is that almost every robot in that movie is at least fifteen times more adorable than you, or anyone you know, will ever be. Wall-E is the single cutest creature ever committed to film, Eve is a cute iPod-looking thing, and M-O steals the goddamn show in the very few scenes he in. Wall-E is an adorable movie, yes, but it’s so adorable that when it’s done, your date won’t be thinking about you — they’ll be thinking about seeing Wall-E again. You will have enjoyed yourself as well, but you’ll also have been officially cockblocked by a three-foot-tall metal box with no elbows.
