Renata linked me to this conversation between Stephin Merritt and Lemony Snicket, and also this interview with Tori Amos. Bwee, Tori is a Doctor Who fan! *brain explodes*

And even more brilliant, the best Harry Potter-inspired song since “Hedwig’s Theme Rocked Out”: Hey, It’s Can(n)on. Inspired by the revelation that Hermione’s birthday is also Talk Like a Pirate Day. Go listen now, it’s hilarious! Thanks to Moony for the tip.

And if it’s still up by the time you see this link, check out Weird Al’s hilarious music video for “White and Nerdy.”
