These 3 Days… Jackson Browne “These Days” Covers

Here are 3 covers of Jackson Brown's classic song, "These Days"

The first is by Nico, who reached a Jeff-Buckley "Hallelujah" level of popularity with her cover. Here is a clip from Wes Anderson's film, The Royal Tenenbaums, where it was used to make the delightfully slow churned scene here.



The next is a live recording by the pretty alive for a non alive artist, Elliott Smith.

And my favorite version, a country style cover by James Dupre:

Addenda:
Using a slow-churning process to make ice cream keeps the ice crystals smaller and will improve the ice cream's mouthfeel considerably.

Im Watching… Business Plan Failures

Want to make lots of money?
Want to make lots of money now?
Or very, very soon?

Great! Get started now with Graham. He's the Aussie guy here reading some inane plan to you off a Word doc he typed up a couple of minutes ago. He needs your money because he owns the top bestest internet domain ever, www.camgirls.com. Never heard of it? Well that's only cos he ran out of money to promote the site after he bought it. No worries though mate! You and him will make heaps if you listen to this plan.

If you send him a $100 now, in 2 weeks you'll have 14 days!

Gary is a Robot

Gary is a robot

He has 50 million cars

He drives a space ship

That goes very very far

He has the girls, the clothes, the money and the bars

And if you're hanging with him then you are a movie star.

Watching Netflix and Hulu Outside the US

If you have a netflix account and you've ever used their streaming player, don't go to London because it won't work. It doesn't work in Paris, either. But it will work in Dubrovnik if you get a VPN or proxy service with a US-based IP address.

From Watch TV Overseas

Basically, Netflix and Hulu’s websites rely on your IP-address to figure out where your location is. They have nothing else to go on. And it happens that if you want to get around this it is not too difficult. I signed up for a “proxy service,” which many companies offer online for a small amount per month. They basically lease a fast computer they have based in the US to their customers to connnect through and it tricks the websites into thinking you are sitting in Tulsa, Oklahoma, or Maine or California. Pretty simple concept and simple to set up. If you have heard of the Firefox web-browser, they provide an easy way to change your settings so that once you have a proxy service you can set it up quite easily.
