I know I know, Yeah You Too

Kerry played this remix (more of a mash-up really) of a Clipse song for me shortly after we moved to DC from Portland. I thought it was good then, but it's grown on me quite a bit and has since become my summer jam of every year. I could bbq the living shit out of something to this song. I'm talking steak, sausages, zucchini, lettuce, grapes, bubblicious, runts and, of course, hot beats.

Darkside of Oz

darkside of oz isn't an amazing conspiracy. the two don't actually go together. instead our brains hear the sounds and see the images and create relationships that don't actually exist. this isn't to discount how entertaining it is, though. on the contrary, it's bombdotcom.com. but the phenomenon isn't limited to just darkside of oz.

this phenomenon works for pretty much anything, especially The Flaming Lips and the cartoon channel. don't knock it until you try it. it also, amazingly, works with with Justice/Will Smith/WALE. in full disclosure, i am not on the payroll of any of the aforementioned artists and this is not my idea. i took it from Justice themselves via an interview in Pitchfork: "...when we got this song we loaded the Will Smith video on YouTube [for] "Getting Jiggy Wit It". We are just putting that track on top of the video. It's perfect. It's like a hit, you know? We were dancing behind our table looking at the video. It's really cool."

what you need to do: play the WALE track then play Gettin Jiggy Wit It on mute. Justice was right. it is really cool... and hilarious.

Shorts Jump The Shark

It's over. Put away your linen shorts-suit and bow-tie. The honeymoon is over. With the recent article in the establishment bastion that is the New York Times, the golden days of shorts are over. Hipsters nation-wide will shortly be seen burning their shorts in the street, or perhaps keeping them in the closet for their next trip to Germany, where they won't even be popular yet for another year. But when the Times quotes an octogenarian on the return of shorts, it's all over. Moment of silence.
