Björk is currently working on her next studio album, which will be released in 2015. That’s what it says on her Facebook page, anyway, in a post explaining why Björk would not be able to attend the London premiere of her new concert movie, Biophilia Live.
Björk’s last studio album was 2011’s Biophilia, an “interdisciplinary project” composed of museum installations, apps, live ...

Chicago-based synth band TRS-80 set the music video for their track “Formula ’71” to a scene from the 1971 Steve McQueen racing film Le Mans in a manner that syncs up well in both sound and tone. Both the film and video feature real footage from the French endurance race 24 Hours of Le Mans.

Finishing up a routine stop of a driver who didn't have his headlights on, an Ankney, Iowa, police officer suddenly realized who he'd just pulled over. One of them. Yes, a disc golfer. That's okay, though: Officer Aaron knew the job could be dangerous when he took it, and he was ready to get serious.
Matt Kenseth and Brad Keselowski fought after their race in Charlotte, North Carolina, had ended.
According to USA Today, Keselowski drove his car into several other drivers after the race had ended. One of those drivers, Denny Hamlin, was furious and had to be restrained from going after Keselowski.
Then, as Keselowski was walking away, Kenseth "seemingly came out of nowhere and jumped him," USA Today reported. Several crew members had to pull the men apart. All three drivers were competing for a spot in an upcoming race.
This is the cutest. There has never been anything cuter.
Mrdesplaineswhat are sour beers? sounds interesting.
Mike Newman, managing editor at Cool Material, has released a very handy flowchart to help determine what style of beer to drink.
It wasn’t long ago when liquor stores carried five or six different beers. A couple of U.S. heavy hitters and maybe an import or two. Times have changed. Walk into your local booze shop now, and you’ll be greeted with shelves of interesting brews. So how do you decide what to drink? While there are countless beer styles, we choose a handful of popular ones and decided to help for when you’re trying to pick a beer for the day.

To his supporters, Vladimir Putin is Hercules, he is Atlas, riding shirtless on his noble steed or soaring over the Arctic with a flock of Siberian cranes. Fitting, then, that at a birthday art show for the Russian president in Moscow this week, the paintings looked like this:
At some point, the world's pot smokers lost touch with life's simpler pleasures: a nicely rolled spliff, or a toke from a bowl, or a one-hitter disguised as a cigarette. The impulse toward ever-more complex smoking implements has surely reached its apex with this, the "Mask of Moldauthein."

Musician Jeremy Bell removed the tape head from a cassette player to create the ScrubBoard, a device that makes it possible to scratch audio tapes in a manner similar to vinyl records. Bell gives a demo of the interesting — if somewhat rough looking — instrument in a YouTube video, referring to the homemade build as the “alpha version” of the concept. The musician is currently seeking funds to build a more polished beta version.

A very energetic French bulldog named Ellie Mae has lots of fun running rings around a slightly unsure young buck as they play together in Ellie Mae’s Wellington, Nova Scotia backyard. According to Ellie Mae’s human Jamie-Rae Fifield, the two had been at it for a little while.
This is Ellie-Mae, my 3 year old French Bulldog, playing with a young buck in our backyard in Wellington, Nova Scotia. They played for about 30 minutes before I took this video.
Mrdesplainesi don't get it... if the kid had a gun who cares how many times he shot him?!?!
An off-duty city officer shot and killed an 18-year-old Wednesday night in St. Louis, Mo., after the teen allegedly opened fire on the officer, police said. According to a witness in the report with the St. Louis Post-Dispatch, the officer then shot the teen 16 times.
Mrdesplainesid love to let one play outside on a hot summer day.
The United Kingdom-based video production team Diagonal View traveled to Berlin to profile Peter Lardong, a former brewery employee who now creates record from chocolate — melting it first, and then letting it harden in a mold that produces a playable record. Larding hit on the unique hobby after attempting a few other edible methods.
At first I tried to make records out of ice cream, beer, sausages, cheese and even butter, but none of those quite made it.
To take place at the Town Hall auditorium within its Cupertino corporate campus, Apple officially sent out invitation this morning for a product unveiling event on Thursday, October 16th. With a simple statement “It’s Been Way Too Long.” the invite is in-line to Apple’s steadfast policy of keeping things under wrap.

Other possibilities include a new iMac with 27-inch Retina Display, Apple TV and details on the soon-to-be-available Mac OS X Yosemite. Tune in to the event’s livestream via Apple.com and Quicktime on October 10th at 10 am Pacific Standard Time.

Like, an obnoxious amount of space. Hardly anyone has enough room on their dining table for a turkey and half a dozen sides, and that's not even taking into account the fact that you probably have to find room to actually eat on said table.

Not to mention the fact that the turkey is usually served on an enormous turkey platter, which is hard to store and easy to break and useless for 11 months of the year.

UPDATE: A television revival series based on the 1989 movie has been shelved after original director Crowe and star John Cusack publicly expressed unhappiness about the project.

It's been 25 years since Lloyd Dobler (John Cusack) held a boom box over his head outside Diane Court's (Ione Skye) bedroom window in the 1989 cult favorite romantic comedy Say Anything. But this week, it looked like that boom box — well, maybe an iPad — would soon be pulled out of storage. According to Deadline, a deal was inked to reboot the story for NBC, with Justin Adler (Better Off Ted) writing and Aaron Kaplan (The Neighbors) producing. An NBC rep confirmed to BuzzFeed News that there was a script sale, but would not comment further.
The original Say Anything followed the unlikely romance between slacker Lloyd and valedictorian Diane during the summer after they graduated high school. And the television adaptation was said to pick up 10 years after the movie left off with Diane returning home unexpectedly, where she'd reconnect with Lloyd, according to Deadline.
But there were three big components missing from the revival: Crowe, Cusack, and Skye, none of whom were affiliated with the NBC revival. In fact, Crowe was quite upset about the new development. He took to Twitter shortly after the news was announced to clarify that he had no involvement in the script, "except in trying to stop it."
When asked for comment, Crowe's office said they had nothing to add about what steps he is taking to kill the option. Cusack also tweeted his disapproval of the Say Anything television adaptation.
