A faithful and utterly convincing cover-version of Massachusetts vintage rockers Boston’s perennial hit Foreplay/Long Time.
One guy plays all the instruments, his mate does the backing vocals and session singer David Steele channels Michael Sweet’s original vocals.
OK GO have a new song and video out. It’s called White Knuckles and it’s very good. Watch it here.
The one above, however, for All Things Shall Pass, is our all-time favourite. Not just a great tune, but also the best-ever use of a Rube Goldberg machine in pop music.
Behind the scenes extravaganza including nerdy diagrams, cast list, etc, etc here.
Recently born at Longleat Safari Park in Wiltshire: twin Patagonian Mara. Related to guinea-pigs, the adults grow to about 45cm and can leap 2 metres straight up into the air.

Dear Sir,
I am searching for a column by Conor Lenihan that appeared in your newspaper last week. It was a passionate defence of Mr Cowen and a rather ungentlemanly attack on Ursula Halligan.
It seems to have disappeared from your excellent online edition.
I need it to ascertain if it is the same Conor Lenihan currently skulking around Leinster House like Richard III.
Keep up the good work. More Wesanna and vicious criminals please!
