throwing a halloween party tonight? need 6 hours... →
I was asked to DJ a halloween party, but instead I’m phoning it in and just providing a bunch of pre-recorded sets. I’d rather stand in a corner drinking with friends than stand in a corner drinking with turntables.
Anyways, I’ve posted all 6 hours of music in mp3 format as 7 sets here. Feel free to download and dance along. Lots of popular uptempo stuff… something for...

Phil Clandillon and Steve Milbourne, who work at a digital design boutique division of Sony/BMG in London created an .xls music video for AC/DC’s first single from Black Ice (gah) in attempt to help distribution via email. Since so many businesses have strict restrictions on what kind of attachments their employees can receive and which sites they can visit while on the clock, an Excel...

Decision 2008 (i.e. Halloween)
While drinking pints last night we (Tk, Nick, and I) decided on a Halloween costume:
Flight of the Conchords
Dude, that’s sooooooo 2007.
Nah, it works perfectly for multiple reasons, including: (1) we’re all the right height proportions, (2) I’m given a reason to not shave between now and halloween, (3) Tk’s got the right length hair to pull off Mel (4) there’s...

You guys, I thought of the gratuitous hip hop video to top all videos:
Look by the True Hype Crew
Who’s that you ask? David Usher circa the late 80’s. Really.
Posting this video would have been a GHHVW slam dunk for a plethora of reasons: the Vancouver connection (SFU represent?)! the irony! the C&C music factory-esque dance moves!
With all that said, it’s no where to be...
Jupiter - Starlighter
Sounds vintage, but...
Trailer: JCVD →
When the life of Jean-Claude Van Damme collides with the reality of a hold-up in Brussels, Belgium, suddenly the huge movie star turns into an ordinary guy, filled with fears, contradictions and hopes. How can he be up to the legend he has built? What can a film hero do when the gun pointed to his temple isn’t charged with blanks? JCVD finds himself at the turning point of his “hero” life.

1. I strongly encourage you to step up to vodka sodas, lose the tonic… you’ll last longer and feel more hydrated when you wake up from your nap under the table.
2. “mandy slide” = 700 points. Very well played.

Alternately, never leave the bar. Drink too many vodka-tonics and curl up asleep under the table. Everyone will still wonder where you went, and...
I have started watching Mad Men*, and it makes me...
But it’s really well done though.
The thing that blows my mind the most is how they do so many un-PC things, and do those un-PC things very badly. For example, drinking bourbon at the office… with alka seltzer tabs in the glass. You guys, there’s a better way to drink in the morning!

Nice redemption, Mr. Wahlberg.
Seriously.
That's pretty rich, Internet...
You’ve gotta have huuuuuuuuuge balls if you run an mp3 blog (which, really, is an agregation of pirated music from other blogs) and post this on the end of every post in your RSS feed:
“This feed is for personal, non-commercial use only. The use of this feed on other websites breaches copyright & takes our limited bandwidth resources.”
Wowzers.
I'm gonna kick some ass with my own pipe wrench...
I’ve only gotten around to watching that Take On Me literal video clip now… and man-o-man… it’s reeeeeally good. LOLZ gallore, internet. LOLZ gallore.

Comedy Central should develop a Mad Money-esque finance show to accompany The Daily Show and Colbert Report, and it should be hosted by Rob Corddry.

As young McCain writes, “I love the vibe and emotion I get from music…I take that energy and run with it.” Please, Meghan, tell us what we should be listening to!
Yes, the… vibe… and… emotion.
Anyone can set up a wordpress account and blog about music. Doesn’t mean they should though.
