Music: Carl Sagan is so cool Jack White covers his hit records

  • Jack White is releasing a cover of “A Glorious Dawn,” a Carl Sagan-meets-autotune-meets-mashup ditty (featuring special guest Stephen Hawking), which is kind of like “Autotune the News” for famous scientists. What’s crazy is that it’s a full-featured pop song with multiple choruses. And now White’s covering it and releasing it as a 7″ vinyl record. Neat. (Note how we completely ignored the other news at the link. There’s a reason for that.)source

Offbeat: Humpback whales fighting: like an oceanic version of “Roadhouse”

whales1023
  • A chick comes into the bar brings attention to herself. A bunch of males, who had been pre-occupied with a round or two of pool or nursing their Yuenglings, come over and try to win some attention. All of a sudden, it turns into this massive fight for the lady’s attention. In the end, the hotshot stud who looks like a whale wins out. And this, friends, is why nature programming is awesome.source
