Vimeo is by far my favourite video-sharing site, but it’s been a bit stagnant lately (or at least my subscriptions have been). Since nothing good was coming my way (can convenience become a usability problem if you’re too reliant?), I went looking and found these:
Crazyness from danilo Parra on Vimeo.
I Eat Beats from Kyle McDonald on Vimeo.

Not really, but it’s definitely related to weight and body fat, which is an indicator:
Young women with larger breasts may be at a higher risk of diabetes in adulthood, a Canadian study suggests.
The study, published in the Jan. 29 issue of the Canadian Medical Association Journal, found the larger a woman’s bra cup size is at age 20, the greater her risk of developing Type 2 diabetes later in life.
[...]
“The scientific community has long cited the role of obesity as an established risk factor for Type 2 diabetes,” said study lead Joel Ray, a physician at Toronto’s St. Michael’s Hospital, in a release. “While an elevated body mass index (BMI) and the distribution of fat around the abdomen are strongly linked to the onset of Type 2 diabetes, little is known about the impact of breast fat.
[...]
“It’s not so much the big breast size of itself, but I think women who are overweight or obese should be concerned. And this is just another marker,” he told CBC News. “It sort of correlates and it’s really not a surprise.”
He said waist circumference is a stronger indicator of Type 2 diabetes risk.

In the e-mail, Trent wrote: “He overcame a subversively good defense by Matt Hennessey that had some Canadians on the jury feeling sorry for the defendant and forced them to do the right thing.”
In fact, there were no Canadians on the jury, but there were some African-Americans.
The e-mail drew criticism from some who said the word “Canadian” is a racial slur against African-Americans, and questioned Trent whether he was using it in that context.
From Use of ‘Canadian’ as possible racial slur may be part of Texas probe at the CBC. Really, aren’t there enough problems in America? Why do we have to invent new ones?
Bon Iver’s record, For Emma, Forever Ago is being re-released through Jagjaguwar Records (distro through Secretly Canadian) on February 19, 2008. They’re taking pre-orders right now that will get you a free poster (pictured above). From Pitchfork.
For Emma, Forever Ago was one of my favourite records from 2007 so I’ve very excited to get an official release. You can listen to the album over on Virb or teach yourself how to play “Skinny Love” right here.
Living solely on plant food, a combination of nuts, fruits, vegetables, grains and the like, has long been the fringe diet of young rebels and aging nonconformists.
From the Wall Street Journal. NFL player Tony Gonzalez tries going vegan and appears in an article with an unintentionally (???) hilarious quote.
The Flying Club Cup is a website featuring live versions of all the songs from Beirut’s album, “The Flying Club Cup”. The videos, by La Blogothèque and The Take Away Shows, are filmed in various places around Brooklyn, NY. Really incredible.
From Happy Webbies. These guys and gals are rock stars to people like me.

Into The Night
*note* It sounds more like the record if you make the C chords as 8th fret barres (8 10 10 9 8 8), or add a high G (x 3 2 0 1 3).

I saw you running with your friends
G
I called your name too loud - 'come back'
F
so many times it might have been embarrassing
G
if you hadn't come walking back
C
F
Here's where I shook you by the shoulders
G
shoved you up against a truck - 'what's up'
F
it was a picture of someone getting older
G
and of someone growing up
C

someone growing up

F
it was like you were in disguise
G
you were so nonchalant - 'come on'
F
as though your well half-lidded eyes said,
G
'what the hell do you want?'
C
F
Well I must've said something
G
for you to feel I was alright - 'alright'
F
We had a great conversation
G
that went on well into the night

A C
went on well into the night

went on well into the night
