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!

The new NYC TJ’s opens today. I’d totally go the first day; but I just spent way too much at Whole Foods. Damn it.

So I screwed up while cooking cooking tonight and had to move to plan B: scrambled eggs. I can’t stand eating just plain scrambled eggs though so I decided to put something in them. Perhaps my favorite addition to eggs is salsa, but after adding that I felt it still needed something. I had some edamame lying around in the fridge so I threw those in too (I’m already on plan B right, so why not risk plan C?).

I wasn’t expecting it to be that good (I was ready to have cereal), but to my surprise it turned out to taste pretty great. So I’m sharing the idea with the world. See Mexi-Asian Scrambled Eggs on the new Google Base (in Beta of course).

Update (5/29/06): Google ‘Disapproved‘ this item because it broke their Program Policies for some reason (can’t quite figure that one out). So instead I’ve used a little app that I just picked up called Connoisseur to upload it here.

I’m a vegetarian and I don’t like chocolate all that much, but I must admit I’ve got a sick fascination with Chocolate Covered Bacon. Is that so wrong? (Via Slashfood.)
