Beastie Boys - Hot Sauce Committee Part Two

   

From Judith Miller To Julian Assange

“The performance of the Times was especially deficient. While occasionally running articles that questioned administration claims, it more often deferred to them. (The Times’s editorial page was consistently much more skeptical.) Compared to other major papers, the Times placed more credence in defectors, expressed less confidence in inspectors, and paid less attention to dissenters. The September 8 story on the aluminum tubes was especially significant. Not only did it put the Times’s imprimatur on one of the administration’s chief claims, but it also established a position at the paper that apparently discouraged further investigation into this and related topics.”

Kate Bush - Deeper Understanding

In the video for Kate Bush's reworked take on her 1989 track "Deeper Understanding", Robbie Coltrane (aka Hagrid from the Harry Potter movies) plays a man who falls in love with a computer program, played by Bush's son Albert. And that is only the tip of the weirdness iceberg here...

Watch the video, directed by Bush herself, below.
