I absolutely love Norm's stifled laugh here. Any other examples?

Was just re-watching some Norm compilations and stumbled upon this gem that always stuck with me but which I couldn't remember exactly. This is from his appearance on Conan's Late Night on 23 September 1999.

He laughs plenty in his acts, but this one is so special to me. That stifled little laugh is like Norm's mask slipping off for a moment, like he just can't control how funny his orchestrated ridiculousness is to him, I adore it. That low-tone, almost out of breath chuckle. Love it!

The thing is, I swear there was more than one time I've seen him laugh like this, but I can't for the life of me figure out where! Could you guys help me out here? Am I just so enamoured by Norm's breathless charm that I'm misremembering?

Still the coolest picture of a car I've seen

I've seen so many beautiful cars and pictures of them, but nothing has ever beat this one. The perfect angle to frame this wonderful boxy basterd. The headlights, the stubby height, the long profile, the small turbo insignia on the grill - love everything about it. It's about time I shared it with someone.

How'd you find David?

I found out about David Berman from his collaboration with The Avalanches. The song "Saturday Night Inside Out" is absolutely stunning, definitely my favourite track of theirs. But the demo of the song, "A Cowboy overflow of the Heart", where David reads the whole poem, is so beautiful to me, even moreso than the finished song, I cherish it so much.

I'm new here. I have yet to read "Actual Air" (I will) or really listen to any of his own songs (I will also), but I've given a listen to him reading his own poems, since his intonation and expression is what so drew me to him. I've never heard someone read a poem like him.

I really want to know how you found David. What led you to him? What is your very favourite piece of his? Why?

Love you all dearly :)
