a judgment call on a particularly scary-looking spill

Racing Association Covers Up Horses' Deaths:

"It was a judgment call on a particularly scary-looking spill," said John Lee, spokesman for the New York Racing Association.

The NYRA is afraid of the video being used by groups such as PETA for their gain or for television stations that never show horse racing except for spills.

But in this day and age, the video is already out there. You can watch the spill at youtube.com.

So why bother hurting the innocents?

"Sleepyhead" by Passion Pit from Barker Gerard on Vimeo.
via i guess i'm floating...
There were few songs from last year that I could listen to over and over again without getting tired of their sound, fortunately for the joints in my body that like to dance, "Sleepyhead" was one of those tracks. So, naturally, when I received a message this past afternoon about a new video for Passion Pit's smash song I thought, "Hm, nothing new to see here."

Turns out I was surprisingly mistaken! This original video is quite enjoyable - the type of visual stimulus that enhances the song, almost giving it texture. It combines solid editing with that universal urge to dance "Sleepyhead" induces and applies it across cultures and time-spans. Not to mention that dicey synth breakdown flashes images of colorful spinning, an amusing watch for a sleepy Saturday evening.
