Favorite Websites of the Day

So if you need to take a smoke break but you're trying to quit, or maybe you don't like standing still in negative-25 degree windchills, but you need to kill seven minutes to get away from whatever other mundane shit is going on, then peruse one or both of these enjoyable websites, sure to bring a smile to your face.

Sleeveface describes itself simply as: "one or more persons obscuring or augmenting any part of their body or bodies with record sleeve(s) causing an illusion."

The other fantastic murderer of time requires speakers and a bit of patience (it takes a minute to load). But at http://rorrimkcalb.com/arcadefire.html you get to play producer and remix your own version of Arcade Fire's "Black Mirror".
