Weezer on David Letterman 2009

Taken from Stereogum’s The 12 Best Late Night TV Performances Of 2009

Rivers and band continue taking turns that leave some longtime fans in the cold, but their killer performance of the Raditude standout “(If You’re Wondering If I Want You To) I Want You To” with the Late Show band cast the new Weezer in the best light possible, showing that after all these years they’re top notch performers who are still capable of churning out a straight-up stellar pop song.

The Khan Academy; Using YouTube to Teach

I always tell my friends we’re living through the most important innovation the world has seen: the internet. You wouldn’t have known it from the early days of the net. Splash pages, bad design, and poor connection speeds was what many people became accustomed to. But slowly over time, we’ve crawled a long way into online banking, online video, websites connecting old and new friends, and the obliteration of snail mail. Transparency now rules, and the freemium business models are rampant among start-up companies.

On my ride home from work tonight, I learned of the Khan Academy from All Tech Considered on NPR Radio. Run by former Hedge Fund Analyst Salman Khan, the Khan Academy is everything the internet should be – the democratization of knowledge. With over 1,000 videos on subjects ranging from chemistry to the Pauson Bailout, Khan is putting a quality education on his YouTube Channel. Coupled with his website donation link, Khan brings in $1,500 of revenue a month.

In this video, Khan explains what the EBITA acronym means:

Messin’ With Sasquatch Commercials

These are the funniest commercials I’ve ever seen.

The First Two Music Videos I Saw

The other say when talking about Michael Jackson’s Thriller video, I tried to think of the first music video I’d ever seen. My parents would tape episodes of Alf and The Hogan Family and these two videos were on those tapes.

Tears For Fears – Shout

Robert Palmer – Addicted to Love

Do you remember your first music video?
