The Difference

Whether or not you like Bill O'Reilly, whether or not you agree or disagree with his politics, you should know that San Francisco is not like this. He is wrong about this city.

Head To Toe

Nike soccer commercials are always the best. This one features Ribery and some pink shoes, both of which are awesome, just like the commercial.

Congratulations I'm A Playa

I'm beginning to think I need to start watching Chelsea when she has good guests on the show. Or maybe just when she has good rappers on the show. Or maybe just good Atlanta rappers.

Pretty Please

I laughed so loud at this that I had to show it to my entire office this morning. All two of them...

I guess these are the types of people that watch American Idol. I always wondered and now I know. The best is the girl who said, "He should have won. Everybody voted against him because nobody likes him!" Yes. Yes, that is how voting works.

I imagine there will be some video editing done to this thing soon. It'll be something like the new Star Wars kid or the new N64 kid. I imagine there will be some Palin remix and possibly an edit that has something to do with a reality TV show, like The Bachelor, Flavor Of Love or My New BFF. Please don't be responsible for a My New BFF remix. I'm begging you.

Videogum suggests we not laugh too hard at this... Actually, that post will probably lead to an election mash-up. I'm sure of it.

Better Days

A few weeks ago, my TV mentor, Alan Sepinwall said the first two episodes of the upcoming season of Scrubs are good. I'm glad because after the last two seasons, I wasn't sure if I cared about the show anymore. Somewhere along the way, it lost it's zing; JD became waaaaay too much of a pansy, the episodes weren't as multi-dimensional as they once were, and the jokes just got lame. Anyway, I just hope we get more of that outlandish comedy balanced with emotion and heart, like we had in the first few seasons. And I hope we get more scenes like these:

E-yes!


I didn't think I liked the musical episode that much but these songs are hilarious.




The air band episode is definitely in my top ten.




Nerdy and great.


By the way, when I was looking for a few clips to post, I ended up spending a good forty five minutes watching Scrubs scenes online. Gotta love that youtube...

Walk With Me

This Videogum post reminded me that a few years ago I used to really like c-walking. I probably would have liked it a whole lot more had I seen this video... C-walking really is the "gangster Riverdance."

Sink Or Swim

Part of me is a nerd but not in a cool way... This post is proof positive.

I'm not really focusing on the Batman voice, like most of the Internet. What I am focusing on is how incredible this trailer looks and how awesome this movie is going to be. It'll either the best graphic novel adaptation ever or thousands of comic book nerds will cry themselves to sleep at night and dream about inflicting bodily harm on Zack Snyder. But no, that's not an option. This is going to be good.

Maybe Sunshine, Maybe Rain

These guys do things that I wouldn't have thought were possible for people without the ability to see.

The Coldest Story Ever Told

The art direction/graphic design for Kanye's albums has always been really great, and the artwork for 808's & Heartbreak and it's first two singles are no different. With his college trilogy completed, Kanye has moved away from the Dropout Bear and opted to go a more basic route, using a deflated heart-shaped balloon, unobtrusive font and subtle color scheme. I'm not good at articulating my thoughts or feelings when evaluating art (even if they are just album covers) but I will say that there's something striking about the simplicity of the design.





Following the same theme is this new ad for the album release date. The restrained, beating (or dancing?) heart is brilliant, in a way.



If you want a sneak peak at the album, check out The Hip Hop Chronicle for a track-by-track review of 808's & Heartbreak. The write up also has a few notes from a Q&A session with Kanye that are kind of interesting.

True Dat

Too Shy

ESPN (and THE WORLD) are hyping Rubio like crazy and I couldn't agree more. After watching the Olympic finals and several youtube clips after that game, I'm convinced this kid is going to be sick...

And on a partially related note, whenever I read or hear about young phenoms, I can't help but think of this quote from The Office's Ryan Howard(whether or not they are actually douchey):

"People keep calling me a "Wunderkind"; I don't even know what that means. I mean, I know what it means, it means very successful for your age, so I guess it makes sense, but... it's a weird word."

Indeed.

Funny How

Dave Chappelle is truly funny and James Lipton is truly weird. This might be worth watching.

Like A Pimp

Let me break it down for you. John Stewart shows a funny clip from Paul Rudd's new movie. Paul Rudd does a funny dance. John Stewart calls Paul Rudd a pimp. Paul Rudd gets confused because he gets lost in John Stewart's eyes. John Stewart does a funny dance. Paul Rudd promotes his new movie by telling people not to see it. John Stewart talks about turtle sex. That's about it.

They Don't Know

Yikes! Kanye has made two consecutive sub-par videos. But similar to "Love Lockdown", I really like the song even if the video isn't that great.

Embrace The Martian

Back when I first got KiD CuDi's mixtape from earlier this year, I was sorting through a ton of new albums at the same time, so I didn't give it a proper listen. In revisiting it over the past few days, I've discovered that it's a really solid mixtape with several standout tracks. I'm looking forward to his official release, which comes out on Kanye's label who knows when. But in the meantime, listen to a few of my favorite tracks from the mixtape...

"Day N Nite"


"Down & Out"


"Embrace The Martian"

My Lambo's Blue

The Game Is Over

I've watched this clip maybe ten times since yesterday.

So Necessary

If you haven't been to the house in the past several months, you probably don't know about our tricycle project. I'll save the details for a separate post but 1) it's probably my favorite thing in the house and 2) it's in definite need of this stylish, "indestructible" little trike... Ummm, seriously? A $2,500 tricycle? During a recession? Really?!?!

Amazing

Go to youtube and search "Sungha Jung" or click here. And be sure to watch "Smells Like Teen Spirit" especially...

I Get That Bunny

This morning I found these songs on OnSmash. They're pretty awesome.

Ghostface Killah - Computer Love

Justin Timberlake - Magic
