We usually try to avoid viral videos (they start to smell of age as soon as you post them), but it’s a slow news day. I’m curious to know just what these marketers were thinking. How does this make me want to drink Absolut????
Watch this DJ Tanner and Joey Gladstone tear-jerker and tell me it isn’t the most bizarre, strangely fascinating, surreal, hilarious, hypnotic thing you’ve ever seen. I honestly couldn’t take my eyes off the screen, I thought I was dreaming.
You’re Not My Father
There are only a few cool things about living in L.A.:
Getting to consistently gripe about a city that’s probably one of the 3-4 best in the world in nearly every respect
The vibrant street art that consistently pops up around you
The taco trucks
This post is about number 2. No, not that kind of number 2 (that would be gross) – [...]
Before the NBA ad team had to spend an hour squeezing Bird and Magic back into their jerseys, but dammit, it was worth it. Also, does anyone else think that Larry Bird now looks like an actual bird? Discuss.
Full disclosure. I don’t actually know what qualifies as ‘post-punk.’ There I said it. So sue me, I’m sure I’m not the only hipster out there who doesn’t know either. Sure, I have a vague idea of the overarching umbrella of a mystery wrapped in an enigma wrapped in a riddle that is post-punk, but [...]
I always said I’d listen to Pink Floyd when pigs fly. This alllllways made me and my friends laugh. I mean flying pigs? What a bunch of nonsense. “Oh Dave, you’re such a cut up,” they’d say “Flying pigs? The very concept is pure poppycock.” Well it looks like I’m going to have to start [...]
How about some links to help ease you into the weekend?
Bill Simmons hands out his NBA playoff awards. I haven’t read it yet, but I’m guessing there’s at least one Vegas story involving his buddies Jack-O, House, Corky, J-Bug, Turtle and at least one comparison of Rasheed Wallace to Billy Zabka
Check out the new poster for the [...]
The Adidas Left-Right Project in a nutshell: giant sneakers, New York, Los Angeles, graffiti aaaand SCENE!
The best part is the song at the end. Trust me, the crooning will make you feel like a kid again and give actual satisfaction about this work distraction. Just remember, You Have To Burn The Rope.
From the visits to Jim Henson’s Creature Shop to the Murakami inspired eyes here, judging from his blog it would seem that Mr. West is really going to pull out all the stops for his forthcoming tour. Muppets? Fraggles? urSkeks? Only Kanye knows, but it seems safe to say that he plans [...]
Read that headline again. Please. I only ask because I’m not sure if I dreamed the whole experience of finding this story and then typing an actual headline. I’ve been up since 4 a.m. and need to be sure that I’m not in a lucid state right now. Go ahead, read it again. It’s real? [...]
Look, we usually try to keep it light here. But sometimes these things have to be said. There’s going to be a lot of debauchery this weekend, because of a certain holiday that apparently can’t be enjoyed without getting hammered.
Yes, it’s Pi Day. Now, I know it’s easy to succumb to the booze and loose [...]
From the Washington Post. Smooth Jazz is apparently a dying genre outside of dentist offices and my younger sister’s Ford Explorer. This shocks me for two reasons. One, it’s a sad statement on the homogenization of radio and two, I thought smooth jazz was already dead.
Pour some (slowly and sexily) out for our dead homies:
