This Just In

Videos of the day – week of 11/4

11/4 – since I didn’t manage to post any BTC videos during crazy Pearl Jam week last week, let’s start this week with some great fan-shot footage from PJ at JPJ!  Love how the upper deck is just going bonkers for “Corduroy!”

11/5 – get out & vote today!  Maybe wait til after you’ve voted to check out an equal-parts-hilarious-and-sad Daily Show segment on VA’s unappealing gubernatorial race, which included Cville’s Downtown Mall!  Beware of Comedy Central’s foul-mouthed/sarcastic/satirical (but generally spot-on) delivery…you’ve been warned!

politics aside, here’s a bonus music video, as just seen via a story on our main page: there’s plenty of bad dancing in this new one from Yoko Ono, including ?uestlove & 2 Beastie Boys!  But that’s ok, because they look like they’re having a bunch of fun & the track’s called “Bad Dancer!”

11/6 – Janelle Monae was recently the musical guest on SNL, and she was on the Arsenio Hall Show the other night too!

11/7 – Luscious Jackson is back with their 1st album in 14 years!  Magic Hour was released this week…and here’s their new video!

11/8 – Cumulus is a new band we played on the show a few weeks ago…check out their new video!

How the rich pass on their wealth. And how you can too

Death and taxes may be inevitable. A big bill for your heirs is not. The rich have made an art of avoiding taxes and making sure their wealth passes down effortlessly to the next generation. But the tricks they use – to expedite payouts to heirs and avoid handing money to the government – can also work for people with far more modest estates.
