It's New Years Eve (or already the first day of the new year,
depending on where you are), and you may be looking for something other than the radio to play for a countdown. Head backwards, then, to
cruise into the 80s with the Grateful Dead for the
closing of Winterland. Or join
the Janglers to
say goodby to 1993 and hello to 1994 at
Peabody's Downunder. You can check out
twelve hours of Essential Mixing and relive the transition from 2000 to 2001. Get closer to the present day with
some big band and swing into 2010 in style.
Say hello to 2011 with
B.A.G.S. (Bullman, Ashworth, Guggino, Sipe), spend
an hour and a half with
Blu Mar Ten or
six and a half hours with
Mr Scruff. And if you're looking for something new for tonight, try some mixes from
Redondo,
Montreal Funk Monkeys, and
a countdown minimix from DJ Raymix.

Carl Sagan, Richard Feynman, Neil deGrasse Tyson and Bill Nye, sing to us (auto-tuned in a way that I actually
don't hate), in
We Are All Connected*.
*Possibly NSFW owing to sidebar video links.
Something similar was mentioned here
previously.

The Eyes of Nye is "
Bill Nye the Science Guy" for adults, with topics like "Cloning," "Pseudoscience," and "The Evolution of Sex" with its montage of happily fornicating animals. The topics are more serious but the humor is still there. The show's web site has video clips and extra information related to each episode.

Fake bongs for conspiracists with time on their hands... But can square-jawed MeFites figure out what happened
here? Remember, Captain Scarlet is indestructible...

The Night They Invented Champagne... Tonight's the night for
Champagne. Meaning French. No other is as appropriate or necessary. If you know nothing - or a lot - about this most pleasant and aphrodisiac of all wines, you should still get more serious about it. The
Champagne Growers' Association has an excellent website where you can learn how to
chill,
open,
serve and properly
taste Champagne. They'll even send you four free, attractive little
notebooks to keep in your cocktail cabinet. The green
roll-down menus are all enlightening and to the point.
But don't think the French have all the experts. There's this amazing American website, called
IntoWine, put up by the
M2 Communications Wine Education Center, which is just as wise and, typically, more complete and snobbish.
Their
Champagne section is faultless. Compare cultures by noting how they
serve Champagne. Check out their full list of Champagne
houses and related
movies.
Happy New Year, MetaFilter!

Two in a week! That must be a record or something. Nobody knows where is Argentina going, and the rioters keep making damages in the capital. Nice way to spend the New Year's eve.

Happy New Year! It's not too early to think about your safety and well-being at the New Year's bash you're planning on attending (or hosting).
