MOVING DAY!!!
I'm moving my blog to Wordpress. I know, it's going to be hard to remember another URL, but look on the bright side. You're the only one who reads this anyway.

ON YOUTUBE
When you want to hear, or rip, a song that you just can't see yourself running into anywhere else without paying for it, Youtube has for the past 5 or more years (that's 150 years in internet time) been the go-to guy. But the legal bandwagon started by Viacom has all the higher quality material being taken out behind the shed and shot, leaving nothing but the shitty teenage covers and camera phone live recordings. Those don't make good mp3's (which is obviously the point). So you find yourself searching for your dream track, going several pages in and coming out sticky, but unsatisfied. And then, off to the right side, in related videos, you see it. You see that thing you were looking for, that one song that makes all this work worthwhile. It's attached to a Naruto or Bleach or Inu-Yasha video, but you don't care because the song is sure to be intact and album quality. As you click the link and it starts to load, an angelic chorus rings out, but you can't hear it because you're going to hell for theft and piracy. But for the next 4 minutes...it's worth it.
Always go for the AMV (anime music video).

P.O.S. - DRUMROLL
More P.O.S. in the '09 for all you suckas! No, but seriously, I've had this kid's music on heavy rotation for a while now and I'm not getting tired of it. That's rare these day. So I had an obligation to share. This is either the third or fourth track of his that I've posted on this blog. Either way, I'm only scratching the surface. And every track, the man just gets more raw. He and Asher Roth may be the majority of what I'm championing for the next few weeks, months, we'll see.
And this video? Come on!

P.O.S. WHY GO (PEARL JAM COVER)
My respect for P.O.S. just keeps growing by leaps and bounds. I found this video of him covering a song by Pearl Jam, the undisputed gods of grunge (You don't know, you better ask somebody!). I just picked up a new flannel plaid shirt, strictly coincidental. But, then maybe it was fate, because I was considering wearing my new plaid to my upcoming party (S.O.Y.P, coming soon)and now I just know that this song is going on the playlist.

I'M GOING TO MISS BATTLESTAR GALACTICA
Anyone with any sense will, also.
"These things, they will not hold water. They are like a boat, fired at from a tower. And we are like the crew that by the grace of god alone have escaped once again with only flesh wounds. But now we have to face the sea. I will not say "brave" it, because there's nothing brave about self-preservation. We will live if we want to badly enough. If only to see the edge of the earth as we fall off into that mythology." ~Tervel Andrews

TERRY RICHARDSON
Since I first saw his work, I've been a fan of Terry Richardson's photography. Anyone with half a brain can see why his work is so raw, ridiculous, and appealing. Being photographed by Richardson is an honor. That's why I was all set to follow the instructions on his website and request to model for him.
Until I saw the word NUDE (It looked just like that, I swear. But in red italics about 18 feet high.). Me, I'm not shy. I'm actually a bit of an exhibitionist these days. But nude photography? Not at this point in my life. Maybe once I leave the gym after several years or bootcamp training. Besides, if it pays, it would only be enough for one session of self-esteem counseling.
Maybe in 10 years.
Maybe.

DAFT TRON
"French electronica duo Daft Punk has been signed to write the original music score for Tron 2.0, Walt Disney's upcoming sequel to the groundbreaking 1982 animation cult hit which was scored by electronic music icon Wendy Carlos. Daft Punk's members Guy-Manuel de Homem-Christo and Thomas Bangalter have been involved in various films before, but Tron 2.0 will be their first complete feature film score. The film, scheduled for a 2011 release, is helmed by Joseph Kosinski and will feature Garrett Hedlund, Olivia Wilde and Beau Garrett. According to industry news reports, Tron 2.0 will play as the "next chapter" after the first film, with Wilde starring as one of the heroes trying to help fighting the Master Control Program, the evil intelligence protocol that was the nemesis in the 1982 film. The assignment of Daft Punk to score Tron 2.0 has been confirmed to Upcoming Film Scores by Walt Disney Pictures." ~ UpcomingFilmScores.blogspot.com

IN GREY!
The Supra Skytop now comes in grey. I lost my mind when I saw these in tan around Christmas time, but I pretty much pitched a fit when I saw these today on Karmaloop. 114 USD. Worth every penny. I have no choice but to pick up a pair of these, especially since they'll run out of size 13 in about 30 seconds.

ITS COMING!
Where the Wild Things Are is being made into a movie. When it comes to the upcoming live-action adaption of the best book of my childhood (tied with Alexander and the Terrible, Horrible, No-Good, Very Bad Day) I'm overcome with a mixture of nostalgia and crippling terror over how easily "they" (whomever "they" consists of) could fuck this up. I have fond memories of this book, Flight of the Navigator, and Nick Jr.
Nick Jr. has been overshadowed by Noggin (I won't even START in on that one).
And any Flight of the Navigator remake would be a hate crime.
All my hopes (not very much, being that I'm a generational cynic) lie with the quality of this movie.
God I wish I had a purple crayon right now. (Get the reference?)

THE R.TAM SESSIONS
To coincide with the release of the Serenity movie a few years ago, Joss Whedon and tribe released this video on several fire sharing networks and any other random corner of the internet they could. They dropped this puppy off on the doorstep of the digital tests, with a note and a basket that would go on to be used to hold muffins or something.
The above video chronicles the downward spiral of the mental state of River Tam, leading to the condition she was in at the start of the Serenity movie.

I remember falling for this group when I first saw What's A Girl To Do on CurrentTV. Then my short term memory betrayed me and they slipped off my radar.
But today, I was wandering the streets of the internet and came across the video for their newest single, Daniel, and I was hit by a truck full of nostalgia, and helmed by a drunk driver. This video is clearly amazing. And it's causing me to daydream, which is always the sign of a good video or film.

CHARGE YOUR IPOD USING AN ONION AND GATORADE
How To Charge Your IPod Using Electrolytes And An Onion - video powered by Metacafe
I'm not sure if this is legit, but why not? Check it out. This video provides instructions for charging your iPod using only an onion and 2 cups of Gatorade (or Powerade). And a shot glass. Isn't there always a shot glass?

FREE NICK
Today I came across this blog, Freenick.net, by and about a man named Nick who find himself recovering from a crystal meth addiction. Hard times, high crimes.
I could point out that I first clicked the link because I connected the words "free nick" with the bag in the above image. But I won't.

REMOTE NEURAL MONITORING
I just saw this on a blog I started reading today. Apparently this sign is being posted around Palm Springs. It's...well, its crazy. And funny.
Here's the corresponding Google search.

WALE (WahLay) - THE CRAZY
I downloaded this song a while back and never listened to it. It's things like this that make me feel like Chritmas used to. Gooood song. But then, Wale is always good. Ask him yourself.
Download The Crazy by Wale, complete with annoying ass dj drop and voiceovers.

SCROLLING LED MESSAGE BOARD WALL MIRROR
This scrolling LED message board wall mirror comes from...somewhere. But I found it on Amazon. The idea is that you program it with a message or the time and it shows up as red LED dots that scroll the aforementioned message across the face of the mirror. The mirrors also reflects things, which I guess could be useful if you ever find yourself needing to read coded backward messages from Leonardo da Vinci or something that your evil twin wrote. Yeah. It couild be used for that, too.
But $450 USD? Little steep.
