Leave it to YouTube to have two of the most awesome local television ads I’ve seen in a while. Seriously, both of these are fucking awesome…

Google partners with GoDaddy and eNom to offer domain registration for $10/year for their Google Apps. *sigh* I guess they’re whaling their way into web hosting now…

A Burgeoning Movement
Would anybody care that much if I migrated this site to the much easier to spell — but nowhere near as creatively named — jasoncosper.com? Right now it’s mirroring this site, but I was actually thinking of doing a move in the near future.
I’d be sure to update the feed URLs with all of the proper redirects and keep Ono Sendai live for at least the next year if I did manage to migrate it over. Still, I thought I’d ask the half a dozen readers that I have before doing it… ;)
Update: *shrug* Fuck it, I’ve officially moved. All of your old feed URLs should work for the time being.

The Maintenance of Magic
This is an amazing find! Stuff from the Park has posted a complete scan of a Disneyland Maintenance Department handbook from 1969. Since all of the images are on a single page, it’s not really suggested for the masochistic folks still on dial-up — but if you’ve got broadband and you’re as much of a Disney fan as I am, it’s totally worth a look.

Best Ringtone Ever

Buttons to advertise your willingness for a DS pickup match is really a clever idea! Sort of like warchalking for your DS…

Rocking Your Own Shit
I’ve finally had the time to read Pitchfork’s interview with James Murphy from this last Monday and it’s actually a pretty amusing read. If you’re into the LCD Soundsystem at all, it’s most definitely worth your time. Check it…
Pitchfork: You said you try to make music you want to listen to at home. Do you listen to your own records at home?
JM: Yeah, I do a lot.
Pitchfork: A lot?
JM: Well, before I go on tour. They’re new to me, and I’m just experiencing them. Right now, I just got this record done, so I’ve been driving around listening to it. I try to listen to it before it comes out because people see you driving your car and listening to your own record. It’s happened to me before. I was listening to an edit last year and pulled up to a red light in Williamsburg, and two kids looked in and were like, “He’s listening to his own record.”
Pitchfork: They knew who you were?
JM: Yeah, I was in fucking Williamsburg. And the kids were like, “Hey it’s the DFA dude…and he’s listening to his new record.” They probably thought, “What a jerk! Do you take pictures of yourself too?”

Creature Feature
My coworker Charlie pointed me at this wonderful chronological compilation of Ray Harryhausen animated creatures on YouTube. If you’re into old school special effects, you won’t be disappointed at the dizzying amount of work on display here.

Four More Fake Indie Bands
I’m trying to figure out if four is enough of something to be considered a “list” — but since I can’t seem to come up with any more names right now, I really don’t care. So without further adieu, here’s a few more awesome fake band names for your ass:
- The Run-On Sentences
- Rural Juror
- Short Focus
- I Seem To Be A Verb
As always, feel free to use them if you want to…
