Video: Fresh Prince, Fallon & Young - Gothamist →
Jimmy Fallon plays Neil Young singing a version of the theme song from “The Fresh Prince of Bel Air.” No child of the ’90s should miss this. (Though I’d like to hear a die-hard Neil fan’s response to the thing.)

Pantone names its colour of the year for 2010 →
I, for one, am in favour of this selection! TURQUOISE. I was just thinking today how much I love this colour — though I tend to call it “teal.”

Sons of Anarchy. →
I watch a lot of television. So I consider myself qualified to say that Sons of Anarchy was the best drama on the air this past year. Yes, better than Mad Men. I never thought I’d be so into a show about a motorcycle club, but there you go. Such is the power of Katey Sagal and the rest of the SoA cast and crew.
