Banksy has created an insane installation in the West Village (that's NYC, of course): an animatronic leopard, fish sticks swimming in a fish bowl, chicken nuggets that peck at a dish of dipping sauce... Crazy. Amazing. It's open from 10am - Midnight until halloween. 89 7th ave, between West 4th and Bleeker I'll be there tonight at some point. See you there?
Make sure you catch the vice presidential debates tonight: not only is it your civic duty to care, it's also hilarious to watch stupid people try to sound smart.

One Sweet Song is a new blog by musician Gina Pensiero. Every day (ish) she posts one MP3 of a song she's into and does a little review of it. It's an ecclectic mix, covering artists from The Breeders to Gal Costa. And who can say no to one free song every day?
