Looking for a perfect vacation?

Why not make your next cruise a Goth Cruise?!

There's something about Swedes...

There has always been talk in the indie music world about which continent/country/city is the "hottest" hotbed of trend-breaking new music. First it was Seattle, Portland, Vancouver, the Pacific Northwest, then it was New York, LA, Austin, the Carolinas, then it was Tokyo, Montreal, Britain, Ireland...you get my drift.

Amidst all this passive aggressive competition between music snobs and indie blogger everywhere, once in awhile, we are all reminded that the Swedes have been pumping out quality sounds more consistently than any part of the world.

This is what caught my eye...

This is the newest craze...

Whats more American than Pabst?

In celebration of my dad finally getting his American citizenship, I'm celebrating with his favorite American beer.

one of the most ridiculous commercials ive ever seen...

I've been living in a hotel in Brooklyn for two months. When I come back from work everyday, I like to turn on the TV and just punch in a random channel and see what's on. Today...this was on...

What does Kafka and Pornography have in common?

That was probably the question James Hawes was hoping you'd ask when he decided to write this...

Free Credit Report Spinoffs

So...my friend Miles Fortune does an amazing rendition of the guy from the freecreditreport.com commercial. This post is dedicated to him. (not everyone loves the song...)
And if you were wondering what freecreditreport.com was like before their hit song...here it is.

Sorry for the lack of posts!

For the 3 people who actually read this blog...I'm sorry I have not been updating. Work in New York has been taking over my life. However, I have decided that I will allow myself 15 min every day to post an interesting link. So without further hesitation I present to you...the Shit Box.

Cindy McCain

Could this Cindy, be an inspiration for this Cindy? Or perhaps another Dr. Seuss character...
Switch back and forth between these three photos. Its really funny.

Obama monkey doll.

The toy company, which just happens to be from Utah, claims that Huggable Obama is not racist. The lovable stuffed animal just happens to be a monkey. Really? A monkey? That was the only animal you could think of?

What do Rap and Milwaukee have in common??

JUICEBOXXX!!!! Loving the guitar solos and the samples.

Old school...Beastie Boys...?? Oh I don't know. It just makes me feel kind of uncomfortable, but not in the weird, creepy Mickey Avalon way. But in a harmless, hapless Chromeo way.

For the traveling, starving artist!

Work anywhere!

Bobby Jindal...Exorcist

My buddy Sam called me today to inform me that he had just walked into the John McCain town hall held in NEW YORK CITY. Even though its New York, I was still surprised that a Presidential Candidate's town hall still had empty seats moments before it started. He said that there were only about 200 people in the crowd, and some were McCain staffers (to fill the seats).

In other McCain news, one of his top VP choices, Florida Governor Bobby Jindal, may actually give him the far right Christian vote...

Gonna get that purple drank.

Oh yea. Its real.

Kermit does Elliott Smith

If you're an Elliott Smith AND muppets fan like myself...you will love this!!

Dedication.

I was reading a blog that Jason McGerr (drummer of Death Cab) wrote, and he made reference to a performance by Buddy Rich, where he had a heart attack during the middle of a solo but kept playing. This video is incredible. Pay attention at the 3 minute mark.

Dreams...what are mine?

If I could do it all over again, I'd be a copywriter for commercials...
This is why.

R. Kelly webisodes

I have discovered R. Kelly webisodes, and I am addicted. Just go on his youtube channel and watch them. They are absolutely hilarious.

First dance on your wedding day...

Just watch.

What are Flogos???

Check it out! The article from the Washington Post.

Real Foreign Policy

Where can the Olympic torch relay go without protest? North Korea.
The Olympic torch began its first-ever run through North Korea on Monday, where the flame was assured of a trip free of the anti-Chinese protests that marked other legs of the relay.
The North Korean government promised that there won't be protests? Oh really??!!

Hillary Clinton: Lincoln-Douglas debate

If this is not a sign of desperation, I don't know what is. So Hillary is challenging Barack Obama to a no rules, 90 minute, old-school, "Lincoln-Douglas" debate. Does she think the Obama campaign, or more so, the American public is that stupid? Hillary is desperate for Obama to make some verbal mistakes and shoot himself in the foot to make up for the many blunders her campaign (and her husband) have made so far. I don't think Obama, or any of us, would fall for this. Whats next a bake off? Obama would probably win that too. When was the last time Hillary was in the kitchen?

Make your own paper robot

Got an hour? Well I've got a robot for you. I have yet to try this out, but I will definitely need something to do after I'm done with the paper I am currently writing...bah.

What art means to me.

This is what art means to me. Clever, sensible, and pleasing to the soul.

Skinny jeans gone mild

I would beat the crap out of myself if I had these...

Hilarious Government Spoof

I was visiting one of my favorite blogs BoingBoing the other day, and ran across this...
I laughed out loud for a good minute.

Speaking of machines...

You gotta hand it to the Japanese. You'll never guess what THIS is...

Ultimate Man vs. Machine

hahahahaha

What does Obama's font say about him??

I read this article in the LA times a few weeks ago. Its quite interesting to think about how much effort and detail goes into every little part of a campaign. My favorite font? Helvetica! (but only in Robot form)

Hitler "funny"?

I saw this article the other day and was floored.

"Buy American" campaign turns offensive...

and yet...hilarious...

Approval Ratings

Who has lower approval ratings than President Bush? Try your local Congressman.

Graffiti at the MOMA

I wish I could have gone to this. Pretty sweet.

The best exercise machine ever invented

My girlfriend is really mad at the fact that I am going to get one of these...

the "Tonya Harding" option

Most people may think political pundits are boring, but in fact, political junkies are some of the funniest people around. They all love really dark humor.

Hillary's Lies?

Sure, Dick Morris loves his prostitutes, but no one (at least the ones who are willing to talk) knows the Cintons better than he does. He's been on a mission to end the Clinton political legacy. Should we believe him?

"no straight lines" piano

This is stupid and hilarious at the same time. Seriously, who needs that? Why? How does it make the piano better? It is designed by Luigi Colani, the Italian guy that all the snobs seem to love. I'm sorry, but his "bio-design" concept is absolutely unnecessary. I hate stuff like this.

Political Song of Our Generation?

My generation sucks at creating smart, political art. I was surprised when I heard this song today by Delta Spirit. Maybe there is hope for my generation after all...

A Road That Sings!

The Japanese have out clevered everyone again! For physics and music lovers alike...

Whats Your Anagram?

Dick Cheney=Needy Chick
