This is one of my favourite tracks by David Bazan - one of many, actually - and I found this street performance of the song by David in San Francisco last year. I really like the way the video has been shot and it’s a great performance of the song itself. But enough from me, check out the video yourself:

While watching the Superbowl last night, I asked Ben who he’d rather be if he had the choice: Cristiano Ronaldo (Manchester United & Portugal Midfielder - Football/Soccer) or Tom Brady (New England Patriots Quarterback - American Football/Football). Here’s the two moments of sporting brilliance that show why either is a good choice:

Cristiano Ronaldo’s free kick, Manchester United vs Portsmouth, 30th January 2008

Tom Brady’s “Statue of Liberty” play vs. Jacksonville Jaguars, 12th January 2008

So who do you choose?

Ah, Bohemian Rhapsody. One of those songs that you probably don’t really like and yet you kinda do all at the same time. If you weren’t as blessed by lady luck as I was as a child, chances are your first encounter with this song wasn’t on an audio cassette mistakenly purchased at a car boot sale - “Queen - Live at Wembley” - and you probably didn’t spend many a weekend stood upon a raised bed lip syncing to words you didn’t actually know while your friend chose to batter away at Scatch pads with chopsticks immitating…err…Queen’s drummer (I’m afraid I don’t know his name. I could look it up and claim to know, but I’d be cheating you and I’d be cheating myself. Actually, Wikipedia to the rescue - it’s Roger Taylor.)
