Voting and You

Monday, January 28th, 2008

Is there really anything better than Andy Bernard (Ed Helms) and McLovin (Christopher Mitntz-Plasse) teaching the youth about the privilege of voting? I think not!

The Worst Movie of 2008?

Thursday, January 17th, 2008

Wow…I just had the misfortune of watching the trailer for the upcoming movie The Hottie and the Nottie. Ladies and gentleman, I present to you the worst movie of 2008, and quite possibly, ever…

These have to be the funniest videos I’ve seen in a long time…

New Years Mini-Update

Wednesday, January 2nd, 2008

Hope everyone had a great holiday and a happy new year. I’m very excited by the music landscape of 2008 so far especially after getting my hands on both the new Cat Power and Vampire Weekend full length. I highly recommend both. Here are a few other things that I’ve been thinking about recently…

•I happened to stumble upon a trailer for a new Keira Knightley movie called “The Duchess”:

Seriously, can someone call her agent and tell them ENOUGH WITH THE DAMN PERIOD PIECES ALREADY? Not only do I despise period piece movies, but it’s a complete waste to cover up such a beautiful specimen in all those ugly-ass frilly Victorian dresses. (And I’m aware that she’s been in some non period-piece movies lately, but I hardly call “Domino” and “The Jacket” worthy films.)

•I happened to catch The Simpsons Movie over the break and I have to say I was actually pleasantly surprised. I’m one of those people that thinks the The Simpsons should’ve been taken off the year 10 years ago, but the film actually was quite enjoyable.

•There’s a great new EP by The Smashing Pumpkins on iTunes titled American Gothic. It’s all acoustic and all awesome.

•Also in the iTunes spirit, a free track from Ms. Regina Spektor called “My Dear Acquaintance (A Happy New Year).” Get it before it’s gone.

•Mark your calendars because February 4th marks the return of one of my biggest guilty pleasures of all time: “Paradise Hotel 2” premiers on MyNetworkTV & Fox Reality. (I just hope it is half as good as the first one.)

•All this talk of Keira Knightley makes me want to post a picture of her royal hotness.
Yup, she’s beautiful!

Kenny vs. Spenny

Tuesday, November 20th, 2007

Oh potty humor…why do I love you so?! I’m 28 years old and I can’t stop laughing at this clip from Comedy Central’s newest show Kenny vs. Spenny. It is executive produced by Trey Parker and Matt Stone of South Park fame, and basically consists of two best friends who are always challenging each other to the most ridiculous (and funny) competitions.

New episodes of Kenny vs. Spenny air on Sunday nights at 11:30 pm on Comedy Central. This week’s episode is called “First Guy to Get a Boner Loses.” I’m sold.

Minipop - “Like I Do” Video

Thursday, November 15th, 2007

Minipop’s A New Hope is one of my favorite records of the year. From start to finish, it contains beautiful, layered airy vocals and glorious synth-pop which all mesh together in one of the most hook-filled offerings I’ve heard in a while.

The video for “Like I Do” is the idea visual to the band’s carefree sound. If you like what you see and hear from this video, I guarantee that you will fall in love with this band like I have, because there is plenty more where this came from.

Sarah Silverman Hearts Abortions

Wednesday, September 19th, 2007

Videos like this are the reason Sarah Silverman is one of our generations greatest (and most under-appreciated) comedians:

The new season of The Sarah Silverman Program premiers on October 3rd on Comedy Central. Keep checking back because I should have a DVD of season 1 to give away in the near future.

Trent Reznor Wants You To Steal His Music

Monday, September 17th, 2007

Trent Reznor is sick of his label charging so much for his music, so he does what any reasonable person would do: encourage others to steal it!

“Tarantula” Video Remix Winner

Thursday, September 6th, 2007

The Smashing Pumpkins held a contest inviting fans to remix their “unique” video for “Tarantula.” The band provided all the video footage in front of a green screen and asked the fans to run wild. Today, the winning video was announced, and I can honestly say it’s extremely kick-ass and 1,000x better than the original! Great work Levi Ahmu.

Air Guitar Nation

Tuesday, September 4th, 2007

This weekend I saw the most kick-ass documentary I’ve seen in a long time. It’s called Air Guitar Nation and follows American air guitarists C-Diddy and Björn Turoque as they try and conquer the world Air Guitar Championships in Finland.

If you find the video below even mildly entertaining, you will have your world rocked by this film.
