Stuff white people like

#50: Irony

Joe are you blogging for them too?

Yeasayer




















Hands down, my favorite new band in quite some time. Think Peter Gabriel meets David Byrne meets The Beach Boys meets TV on the Radio.

Conan likes them too.

Yeasayer - 2080

If it's good enough for James Spader.......


Another website I like to waste time with: www.picturesofwalls.com

It's exactly what you think: a website devoted to user-submitted pictures of things that are written on and in random places. As a fellow graffiti-obsessed-for-the-sake-of-humor individual, this site is right up my alley. (If you've ever been to the MSU art building, any bar in the greater Lansing area, for instance, you would see my handiwork.....mostly in bathrooms.)

I Could Totally Kick This Kid's Ass!




Ever wonder how many youngsters you could pummel in a playground fracas. Well, honestly, neither have I. But once again the internet has provided a totally absurd answer to an even more useless and irrelevant question. You could probably find a more productive way to waste five minutes then by taking this survey, but then again you'll never know your odds of survival if you find yourself in a situation like Kramer found himself when he pissed off his karate class. Plus, it's pretty effing amusing. Especially the part about your "moral compass". I must admit it is comforting to know that if push came to shove, I could easily take 20 five year olds.

Sounds like the start to a bad Michael Jackson joke.

I did the dishes, I mowed the lawn...



Don't know if you guys caught Wilco on SNL last weekend. I was kinda hoping they would play Impossible Germany but they chose instead to play Walken and Hate it Here, two very strong songs from the last album. If you watch the videos, pay attention to:

1. Glen's drumming - the dude is a beast.
2. Tweedy's nasty Gram Parsons suit on Walken.
3. Nels, as always.

Both performances were pretty solid, too bad Hillary had to show up and piss on the parade.

Bad English

If one day the whole world starts communicating via "text-speak" instead of plain English, you can blame New Zealand.

Happy Birthday, Friend-O.

Check out this hilarious No Country for Old Men spoof. The 2:46 mark is pure brilliance.
