Video: Show us your favorite commercial of all time.

Levi's Commercial - Tainted Love
Levi's Commercial - Tainted Love

Several years back (I think I was in high school!), Spike Jonze did a commercial for Levi's featuring an emergency room patient and staff singing "Tainted Love." I don't know what that has to do with jeans ... but it's certainly memorable.

I've actually been looking for this commercial off and on for years, and I finally found it this evening on YouTube.

O Valencia!
O Valencia!
The Decemberists
My latest musical obsession is "O Valencia!," the latest track by The Decemberists. It's apparently the subject of a new green screen "war" between the band and Stephen Colbert, and it's pretty good. I've had it on heavy rotation for the past two days, with no signs of tiring of it yet.

What's your favorite Thanksgiving dish?
Submitted by Brennan.

Mashed potatoes. Or pecan pie. I really can't decide right now.

What song best describes your current mood?
Submitted by Section31.

At the moment, I have the rap song "Curls" by Madvillain stuck in my head. I don't even like the song that much, but the opening line of the Post's obituary for newsman Ed Bradley -- "Ed Bradley had cool like a vault has money." -- brought to mind the chill background sample used in the song.

Obviously, this isn't me.

But it is my favorite t-shirt, a Threadless purchase from earlier this year.

I find the illustration cleverly adorable: It's both a skunk and the number two.

Simple, yet brilliant.

Your Ex-Lover Is Dead
Your Ex-Lover Is Dead
Stars
I'm giving Set Yourself on Fire by Stars a test-spin, and I really like what I'm hearing so far. My song obsession of the moment is the first track, "Your Ex-Lover Is Dead."

The album isn't a bad soundtrack for an evening spent tending to the apartment. Rob and I are hard at work tidying things up, as the leasing office wants to show the unit to a prospective tenant -- and, hey, the apartment needs it anyway. (Nothing like the threat of someone seeing your mess to inspire you to finally clean it up.)
