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...

What is Filk?
In my next life, I will be a Filk artist.
Of course there is video...
"Filk until the neighbors bang on the walls!"

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...

"Pimples Come from Masturbation"
An educated approach to sex ed.
Note: I really didn't mean to be posting so many articles about sex. Please don't be offended.

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.

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...

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.

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.

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.

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)

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...
