Okay. Two posts about Hulu back to back. You’re going to think I’m on that site all the time, but that’s not the case. I just understand what kind of content you can find on the site - namely NBC and FOX products. Which is why I’d like to point out that this very popular clip from SNL this weekend can be found on Hulu! Why watch a low quality upload on YouTube that was ripped off of some news program (illegally, not that anyone cares these days)?
This version is ad-supported, which is the TV model. It keeps good programming broadcast to the public for free. Accept a quick pre-roll ad, and a small mid-roll graphic in return for high quality video delivered via legal routes. I’ll continue to highlight the best that Hulu has to offer, but give it a spin. The interface is cool and clean, unlike the obnoxious YT dogpile of random vids and get-rich spammers.
Bottom line. Funny spot, reminiscent of the good ole days of SNL. Let the parodies begin for ‘08 politics:

I don’t know how I missed this game, but I missed it. I’m a big TCU fan, so I was pulling for the like-minded BCS breakering Broncos. Also, I visited the campus earlier that year on business…how did I miss that game? Thank goodness NewsCorp makes the NCAA sign away their lives on the dotted line. Can you believe the whole game is available at hulu.com?!? Well, here’s the short cuts version.
If you don’t know what Hulu is, it’s worth investigating. The future of tv is uncertain but Hulu, netflix, and the Roku Box have me making certain presumptions. You? A year and a half ago, when I missed this game, I could not have imagined so easily embedding it on my blog. Enjoy.

TMBG’s new album, The Else, is available on vinyl! Here’s a clipping from the TMBG’s newsletter:

“We are on the bus! The Else hits the road, accompanied by a chihuahua named Lola! Big news on a few fronts - the VINYL album is in record stores (our first vinyl in over a decade) and will be at shows soon, but if you can’t wait scroll down for the link! In the recent milestone dep’t I think we might have forgotten to mention to you all that our myspace page now has over 50,000 friends, and TMBG were in the NYTimes crossword for the second time this year! Crazy man, crazy!
Okay - off to the radio station we go!

I emailed Rounder Records asking if they offer or plan to offer digital downloads with purchase of an LP, but it doesn’t look like its a feature of their site. Also, I don’t know if it’s an 180gram pressing, but I’m going to their show at the Avalon (Oct 4th), and I’ll get my vinyl copy there and report back in the comments.
Cassadaga is Bright Eyes’s seventh studio album. There is a pressing on 180g Vinyl LP. It is a double-lp, and the album art looks well worth the $5 cost over the CD. Plus, for a limited time, if you order through the Saddle Creek Records online store, they are including an exlusive 45rpm 7″ with the Cassadaga non-album track “Susan Miller Rag.”

Here’s a pic of a CB550 I was working on. I learned a lot about the Honda SOHC4 engine, but had to let this one go, because I didn’t have good garage space and didn’t have enough time to do the project justice.
I really liked the aftermarket exhaust, but I don’t recall the make.
