M83 ‘Saturdays=Youth’

M83’s new album ‘Saturdays=Youth’ is the best album I’ve heard so far this year. Here’s ‘Kim and Jessie’ put to a Donnie Darko compilation–Why? Who knows, but this track’s something right out of a John Hughes movie.

Tony Krupicka

So I quit smoking two months ago now and have become one of those assholes I used to hate that are super hyped on running and talking about the sugar content in things. Running has just come out of nowhere to become one of my favorite things in the world, so [...]

Pineapple Express and Red Band Trailers

Pineapple Express – Red Band Trailer on FunnyOrDie.com
I was reading the other day about how the Regal chain of theaters in the US would be bringing back the R-rated red band movie trailers and I have to admit I had forgotten about them. There’s something about seeing that red before a trailer that just seems [...]

Guitar Hero on Tour

Some things just aren’t meant to be small–things like Jimmy Dean sausages, the Bible, and Guitar Hero. The idea of Guitar Hero on the Nintendo DS might seem like a good idea until you see someone picking on a Gameboy screen and you remember why the electric ukulele never really caught [...]

Death Cab For Cutie’s first single released–it sucks.

So after reading about the new Death Cab album on MTV News I was expecting a masterpiece. Enter the first single–eight and a half minutes long and no Ben Gibbard vocals until halfway through sounds interesting enough, too bad it isn’t. I’m no rock critic but if this is the highlight of ‘Narrow Stairs’ [...]

Publicis & Hal Riney Website

Last week I answered a call on my iPhone headphones while walking down the street–you know, douche bag style. The problem was that when I answered it the person on the other end said “hey, look across the street!” and as I turned and saw the person and said “heyyy!” another person I knew was [...]

Food Fight

This is beyond brilliant. A breakdown of America-centric wars since WWII as told through a food fight. Check out the guys who did it here to figure out which food represents which country. My fav is the Cuban Missile crisis where the beef stroganoff infiltrates the cuban sandwich. Mangia!

Johnny Fairplay loses to El Duce

I’m not gonna lie, I’m pretty into douche bags–whether they be the Jersey frat boy variety or the faux Hollywood variety. How did I not see this video before now I’ll never know but this is Johnny Fairplay, the annoying turd from Survivor, getting manhandled at some D-lister awards show by [...]

New Skittles work…

This spot by TBWA New York popped up yesterday like a hand from the grave. The amazing people that did the Skittles work of last year were all sucked out of TBWA earlier this year after Exec CD Gerry Graf left to Saatchi NY and CDs Scott Vitrone and Ian Reichenthal [...]

Lance Armstrong videos

I spent an hour watching Lance Armstrong Tour de France videos yesterday on YouTube. I get so stoked on these things. After reading Lance’s body description on wiki, these videos are like watching some advanced man-made super human robot being tested for endurance. Here’s the video of the hill stage to [...]

Don’t cuss

I don’t like living in a world where a child can start a ‘no cussing club’ and not get beat up for it. This kid parlayed his really neato club into a citywide initiative in Southern Pasedena banning cussing for a week. The video can’t be embedded because they probably want to keep the [...]

I am finally on Twitter…

I joined Twitter because I thought it was one of the last great frontiers for me to share the depravity of my life only to find that NOT ONE of my close friends (gmail contacts) is on it. Seriously kids, get on it.
Here’s my Twitter!
