Studio 360 wants to hear the music you and your band made in high school. Andrew W.K. and Thao Nguyen want to pick the best song sent to Studio 360. That song wants to be covered by Andrew and Thao. Studio 360’s gonna make it all happen.
Tell all your friends about Studio 360’s Battle of the High School Bands.

So far seems to be primarily acoustical recordings of jazz, marching band, and opera/theatre(/vaudeville?), c. 1901-1925. Just go and hit play listen to hundred-year-old music all day, in other words.
In this absolutely incredible footage from EarthTouchTV, watch hundreds of thousands of sardines off the coast of South Africa swarm at the center of an animal feeding frenzy. With Earth-Touch divers right in the middle of the action, large, hungry predators — sharks, dolphins, diving gannets, and a 20 to 30 ton Bryde’s whale — all take part in this intense and fascinating sardine run.
There are hours of nature and underwater videos in the archives.

I think that what makes Bob Benson such a magical apparition this season is that it seems like someone accidentally took an extra resident of Deadwood and plopped him smack dab right in the middle of Mad Men, which rendered him cartoon, stultifying, worrisome. It’s like the closest he’ll come to returning home will be retiring to Lake Wobegon. He could be one of the characters the characters that Garrison Keilor talks about talk about, in passing.
And then there was that time the Thirteenth Doctor—fresh from regeneration, still new and boiling away—tried to rehabilitate the whole Dalek race by snatching one of the earliest from the Kaled-Thal War. Bringing that Dalek with her as a companion.
Just imagine, the first Dalek to dream!
It wouldn’t end well, of course. The Asylum of the Daleks was constructed for a reason. There was a first, mad Dalek, locked away in a basement. The most hated Dalek, the original traitor, The Failure of Davros, the Dalek who travelled in the TARDIS.
