A-Trak & Tommy Trash – Tuna Melt from Pomp&Clout on Vimeo.
From Mental Floss:
For their song “Tuna Melt,” A-Trak and Tommy Trash teamed up with director Ryan Staake and “Kinetic King” Tim Fort to create a video that follows a Rube Goldberg-esque contraption as it self-propels through nearly every room of the The Ohage House, a Victorian mansion in St. Paul, MN.
Super impressive. Not as “grand” as OK Go’s video but just as equally impressive.
My jam this morning – Crumbs From Your Table by U2
From the brightest star
Comes the blackest hole
You had so much to offer
Why did you offer your soul
I was there for you baby
When you needed my help
Would you deny for others
What you demand for yourself
Cool down mama, cool off
Cool down mama, cool off
You speak of signs and wonders
I need something other
I would believe if I was able
But I’m waiting on the crumbs from your table
You were pretty as a picture
It was all there to see
Then your face caught up with your psychology
With a mouth full of teeth
You ate all your friends
And you broke every heart
Thinking every heart mends
You speak of signs and wonders
I need something other
I would believe if I was able
But I’m waiting on the crumbs from your table
Where you live should not decide
Whether you live or whether you die
Three to a bed
Sister Ann, she said
Dignity passes by
You speak of signs and wonders
I need something other
I would believe if I was able
I’m waiting on the crumbs from your table
You see, at the center of all religions is the idea of Karma. You know, what you put out comes back to you: an eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth, or in physics; in physical laws every action is met by an equal or an opposite one. It’s clear to me that Karma is at the very heart of the universe. I’m absolutely sure of it. And yet, along comes this idea called Grace to upend all that “as you reap, so you will sow†stuff. Grace defies reason and logic. Love interrupts, if you like, the consequences of your actions, which in my case is very good news indeed, because I’ve done a lot of stupid stuff…
If only we could be a bit more like Jesus, the world would be transformed. When I look at the Cross of Christ, what I see up there is all my s— and everybody else’s. So I ask myself a question a lot of people have asked: Who is this man? And was He who He said He was, or was He just a religious nut? And there it is, and that’s the question. And no one can talk you into it or out of it. – Bono
Shaun Groves shared a clip from Bono’s 2006 interview with Bill Hybels.
So much goodness in it.
Watch it and see.
A while back I shared my Life Cannon. I’ve considered going back and updating it – maybe I will someday soon.
But for now, I was intrigued by an article on NPR Music that suggested a similar idea based solely on music.
The article asks a few questions:
Today, the crew of Atlantis is scheduled to pack their things and prepare for their ride back to earth.
The return home will take approximately two days and then after their landing, the US Space Shuttle Program will be no more.
It’s kind of sad in a way. In many ways I grew up with the space shuttle program.
But luckily we have plenty of songs to that will last light years beyond that of the closed program.
