    Every leader of the Free World should shoot marshmallows through the State Dinning Room.

    The backstory is on AllThingsD about this video Jim Henson did for AT&T in 1963. It was recently rediscovered and posted this week to YouTube.

    Apparently, Will Farrell approached Pabst Brewing Co. execs about doing the ads for free and they said .... ah, yes.

    This military band video has gone viral with over 1 million views since Aug. 8.

    U.S. Air Force Staff Sgt. Angie Johnson and Sidewinder perform a cover of Adele's "Rolling in the Deep." Sidewinder is part of the 571st Air Force Band, 131st Bomb Wing, Air National Guard. They are deployed as the U.S. Air Forces Central Command Band.

    I think this Navy band vid I made a couple years ago has some some awesome vocals as well.

    Grace Potter and the Nocturnals performing Goodbye Kiss (Live from Bonnaroo 2011). I missed her show in Knoxville ... hopefully she'll be back.

    Another video from her Bonnaroo show, "Medicine."

    Google Ads displays an Axe Dry ad over a video from Bonnaroo. Ya think? Remember, it's approved for "hot encounters."

    Here's a link to the Alison Krauss video from the show at Bonnaroo on Saturday.
