Well I definitely learned quite a bit from last weeks comments on this post. Here’s a sampling of the knowledge laid out:
Selbu mittens, named for the Selbu village in Norway, can be traced back to a single knitter: Marit Emstad (born Guldseth in 1841). – Tim Heaney
a president is most likely to be assassinated between 6 and 9 a friday night in october. – bernto
if youre allergic to dust its not actually the dust youre allergic to. Youre allergic to the dust mites poop – manrith
Here’s another dose of Friday wisdom. Did you know that there’s a law in Kentucky making it mandatory for a person to take a shower at least once a year? I’m all for hygiene, but how exactly do you enforce that law? What about the homeless? Wouldn’t there be some sort of public shower then? What do you think? Or more importantly what other tidbits of random information is floating around in your head? Please let the thoughts spill. For now enjoy these little gems…
mp3: Daft Punk – Human (We Plants Are Happy Plants Remix)
mp3: Digitalism – Taken Away (Mmmatthias Remix)
mp3: John Legend and Andre 3000 – Green Light (MSTRKRFT Remix)
mp3: Lykke Li – Little Bit (Klumpfisk Remix)

This is a fabulous Friday for shows. In Baltimore The Courtesy Line, Matt Pond Pa, and Pete Francis of Dispatch has been CANCELED at the Ottobar (though Pete Francis is still playing). Since you’re not going to be able to make that show, why not head to Sonar to catch Bear Hands and Live. In DC the Black Cat has the Oranges Band, Polvo, and Sir Arthur & His Royal Knights while The cure destroys the Patriot Center. In Philly The Khyber has a must see show with Jukebox The Ghost, The XYZ Affair, Grammar Debate, and The Swimmers. If you can’t make that one, you’re probably over at Johnny Brendas for British Sea Power, The Rosebuds and Jeffrey Lewis or possibly at the First Unitarian Church catching El-P, Busdriver, and Dizzee Rascal. Have a good one!
