James Duncan Davidson on gourmet cupcakes:
I wandered around SoHo and the Village, ending up at Magnolia Bakery. Of course I got a cupcake. It was indeed good, but I have to say that Portland’s Saint Cupcake has them beat, hands down on the cupcake front.
Fucking cupcake bitches, call me back when they have cup-pies.
What do you get when you cross some pasta with an omelet? Why you get a Pastomelet of course! A new creation from my labs that’s guaranteed to satisfy all those carb and protein cravings at once! It’s also a great way to finish of the last of that huge batch of pasta you cooked last night even though you don’t exactly want to eat straight pasta again.
Anyway, enough talk, check out the dead simple recipe.
The newest Ben & Jerry’s Ice Cream: Stephen Colbert’s Americone Dream. Featuring vanilla ice cream with fudge-covered waffle cone pieces and caramel with all the profits going to charity. Colbert’s word: “I’m not afraid to say it. Dessert has a well-known liberal agenda. What I hope to do with this ice cream is bring some balance back to the freezer case.”
Nice!

Ben & Jerry’s American Pie Ice Cream tastes just like it sounds, which is to say, absolutely fucking fantastic.
…The political message doesn’t hurt either…
Jack White, a.k.a V, seems to have been pretty busy recently. I’ve found a few music videos that’s he’s provided the music for on the web recently, so I’m passing around the linkage Kottke Remaindered Links style.
First up is the music video for ‘Steady, As She Goes’ (↪iTMS). This is the first single from the Jacks’s new project with Brendan Benson (↪iTMS) called The Raconteurs (warning: link may resize your browser window). The first album Broken Boy Soldiers comes out in just a few weeks on May 16th. It sounds like really good stuff.
White also wrote a new little song called ‘Love is the Truth’ that is featured in a new Coke Commercial titled ‘What Goes Around’ that’s available (“for a limited time” apparently) on this Coke UK site. One news outlet (probably quoting a press release) describes it this way: “The commercial is intended to convey White’s premise that one act of kindness begets another.” It’s really wonderful, but it’s also very grainy (I wish they had a higher quality version available). The commercial will be airing just once in the UK after showing up during Australia’s MTV VMAs, so Coke apparently doesn’t think it’s very good at hawking their product. Kind of a shame.
Since the site tries to prevent you from saving the file (even with QuickTime Pro) and it’s supposedly “limited” (whatever that really means), I’ve put up an iPod-ready version of the file here.
Update (5/2/06): The acoustic version of ‘Steady, As She Goes’ (↪iTMS) is the iTunes free single of the week. Huzzah!
