So here is some stuff that most of you have seen on e-mails recently. But in case you haven't here goes.

There is a group called Angry Alien Productions that does animated 30 second versions of famous movies starring bunnies. The most recent is one for Superman. You can see all of the rest here. Without a doubt my favorite is The Shining (that's young Danny Bunny at the right). The Jack Nicholson and Shelley Duvall bunnies captured the subtleties of the actors' performances. The last frame of Jack frozen in the snow should be on a shirt.

The Starlight Mints are the rage at my house. We got to see them last week at Smith's Olde Bar and they were awesome. Their latest record is Drowaton and a few tracks are available for your listening pleasure on their myspace site. Ben's favorite is Rhino Stomp.

A treasure of a recent find is The Ditty Bops who were featured in a very small article in Newsweek. Their summer tour is making its way around the country on bicycles instead of the tour bus. They are a female (no that's not Roger Manning on the right) vaudeville duo (produced by none other than Mitchell Froom of Crowded House/Suzanne Vega/Elvis Costello fame) and you can listen to both of their albums in their entirety on their site here. Don't pass up the videos.

Yet another thing going around is the Red VS. Blue website. Some people with too much time on their hands have taken the soldiers from the video game HALO and written scripts for their movements on screen. Watch the public service announcement they made here.
