Bill Murray’s Autograph

Bill Murray’s Autograph

When you work with a legend like Bill Murray, it’s only natural that you ask for something to remember it. These filmmakers got more than they asked for when he granted their wish for a slo-mo walk instead of an autograph though.

1926 Brough Superior SS80/100

1926 Brough Superior SS80/100

Brough Superior’s legendary pedigree and craftsmanship aside, this particular motorcycle is all the more desirable because it is one of the few remaining SS80/100s, though this one has been upgraded with a SS100 980cc V-twin engine.

(NSFW: Language) The music video for Thrift Shop in its naked, beat-less glory. It actually fares a lot better than the one for Gangnam Style and is only slightly awkward. Plus there’s Macklemore’s chair.

A jazzy arrangement of Radiohead’s Creep, performed by vocalist Karen Souza, ironically turning the tables on the song’s original protagonist. Hear more of her sultry covers here. Her Tainted Love is pretty great too.
