Vampire Weekend covered a Rancid song? A RANCID song?! Do not be bewildered, yes they did. Download Vampire Weekend’s version of Rancid punk-ska classic Ruby Soho here.
It’s not really a surprise though. We have heard of A-Punk after all. I guess let’s just call it Ivy League punk rock. Ha!. Man, Vampire Weekend’s really being awesome right now. I even find myself increasingly blurt out the first few lines of Horchata out of the blue just about anywhere I am. They are infectious.
As far as the cover goes, I now have a new cool song added to my Summer playlist. Can’t wait to play it loud on a beach/surfing trip! “Destination unknown, ruby ruby ruby ruby soho!”
Marge and Homer tries out Curling and found themselves competing for the Gold at the 2010 Vancouver Winter Olympics! But really the highlight here is the flashback by Principal Skinner’s mom Agnes, and how her son Seymour ruined her life! LOL. Comedy gold. I love the Simpsons.
Ted Taco was there the first time you knew Google Buzz was already live. He was in our Gmail inbox and since then we have seen him many times around the web, becoming familiar with his all too awesome stare. He is the face of Google Buzz, booyah.
But who is Ted Taco. Does he work for Google? Is he in marketing? What does he think of his surname? Many questions got me curious, so I did a little background check and based on his Google Profile, (please do click the link), here is what I’ve uncovered.
1. He has lived on the Moon
2. He writes like a 5th grader — or.. he really intends to say “Help Make Gmail Awesome” at Google Mountain View as an invite to professionals to come work for Google, and not “Helping Make Gmail Awesome” as his actual job description. Poor sentence construction either way.
3. Ted now only follows 13 people, dropping 6 as seen on the picture above meaning — he’s quite the snob?
4. He isn’t on Facebook. Not really that social I guess.
Well that is all I have for now but I will be investigating this further. Do you have any info on the guy? If so, here is my profile on Google Buzz and let me know. Let us honor the first person on Google Buzz before it becomes the next social media revolution with a gazillion users. Ted, wherever you are.. I hope you follow me too.
I like Google Buzz. It gives me something to do while on Gmail waiting for emails from clients of mine such as Mr. “my timezone is in wonderland and I swallowed that pill that made me small now I can’t reach my computer to send you that email”. Google Buzz does make waiting a bit tolerable.
Anyway, the only thing I don’t like about it is that I’m assumed to follow the people from my Google Contacts. That actually doesn’t sit well with me. Most people I talk to are clients, and I would like to keep it that way. And perhaps, they are not that social.
Yes there is a profile search function to help find people. But I say please include an “I’m Feeling Lucky” button; press hit and a 26 year old Marketing chic profile comes up. Now that’s a real buzz.
