Today's Best Song Ever: "Que Vida" -- Love
This tune pretty much sums up the softer side of Love. There's no garage-rock aggressiveness as on "My Little Red Book" or "Seven and Seven Is." Instead, we get goofy, philosophical nuggets like "With nickels and dimes, you will soon have a dollar" and "I see no need to swallow or catch a plane to travel, my mind's not made of gravel" over a pleasant backdrop of guitar arpeggios, organ chords, flute and the occasional "pop" sound of somebody plucking an index finger from inside his cheek. It ends with sleigh bells.
Featured on the band's "Da Capo," the tune, along with "Orange Skies" hints at what's to come on the brilliant Forever Changes LP.
Hear a sample from Amazon.

Slate has published excerpts from the new comics adaptation of the 9/11 Commission Report by Sid Jacobson and Ernie Colon.

"Buffy" creator Joss Whedon lists his favorite TV characters of all time.
---------------
Superhero Hype! spotlights some fan-made super-flicks.
---------------
This a good example of what happens these days when the comics industry seems to have lost the plot on how, and to whom, to market their books and how to flag readers/retailers/parents who, exactly, the book is for. It's funny how the creator dismisses the whole thing like it's something that happened beyond his control. By accident. Time to grow up, buddy.
