Slicing Up Eyeballs

The Pixies on Late Night with Jimmy Fallon earlier this week performing "Debaser" and "Hey".





Alls I want to know is, who the hell are these foks on the fake fire escapes behind them?

Too cool

While you were busy freaking about Lea Michelle and Chris Colfer killing "Defying Gravity" on last week's Glee, Toshiba was sending armchairs into space. Yes, I realize that this is a commercial for a television set that I do not care about and won't be able to afford until 2027, but it's still 82 flavors of awesome. Video is below. Plus bonus video further down about how they pulled it off.





"Blah, blah, blah. Toshiba's the shiz. I'm such a wanker."

Great commercial though.

Best show on TV. Srsly.

There is nothing else like Friday Night Lights on television right now. I mean, I'm talking The Wire and Deadwood good. Except you can watch this one with the kids. Thank you 8 pound 6 ounce new born baby Jesus, for bringing us East Dillon football. Amen.

Basically a commercial for FOX, but I can live with it.

Absolutely gross product placement to lure both baseball fans and the patriotic, but come on...it's the cast of Glee singing the national anthem! Watch this show patriotic baseball fans! Your national anthem just got owned. Chalk another one up for corporate synergy!

Absolutely sick. Like 90s sick.

Via Jesse Thorn of ye old Sound of Young America, comes an insane vid from last night's BET Awards featuring Mos Def, Black Thought and Eminem. And while Thorn may be the whitest, baby-faced radio host on the planet, he's not far off the mark when he calls Em "probably the greatest freestyler of all time." OF ALL TIME!

Day Fifteen: These Kids Are Cooler Than Your Kids

It's a little lengthy, but worth the 8 minutes. A string quintet of Zelda, Tetris, Mario, and much, much more. Courtesy of some of the coolest kids on the face of the earth. If this doesn't make your day, then go sleep until tomorrow, because nothing else will.

Day Twelve: Babies that laugh like 80-year-old man-midgets

I don't have anything to add. Have a nice day.

Day Nine: Underground

Remember when Ben Folds was seriously effing cool? And he had that punky/jazzy trio thing going on? I remember hearing this song on 96.3 the Edge just months before Brick dropped and blew them into the stratosphere. At the time, I didn't get most of the jokes. Having spied on the "scene kids" from time to time over the past ten years, I recognize it's brilliance on a whole different level. But even in 1996, this song kicked serious ass.

Day Three: Your Favorite New Band

Matt & Kim have been one of my favorite little rock bands for going on two years now, and while "Lightspeed" doesn't rock as hard as some of their other stuff, this fan-made video certainly turns it into one of their funner tracks. And yes, I just typed "funner". It's a blog. Get over it.

Day One: Ah, My Eye!

I enjoy the YouTube, probably even more than the regular Tube. Or at least as much as On Demand, which I don't have have, because I'm cheap. And lazy. But mostly cheap.

Once upon a time, I thought I'd regularly post some vids to the blog to share with the world. Because the world reads this blog. I know this because I'm on an internet web site, which anyone with a computer can check. And they have computers all over the world. My logic has just astounded you. Booyah. Deal with it.

Then I never posted any videos. And YouTube was still there; and YouTube was still calling. So here's the deal. In an effort to kick off the school year in earnest, and assist Ernest in going to camp, I shall post a minimum of one video a day on this internet web site, for the month of September, for no apparent reason, other than sharing the joy of short videos that you've probably already seen. Fair enough? I should hope so.

Let us begin.



I'm pretty sure I nabbed this off of Topless Robot, which is not a robotic porn site, but a weblog for geeks, who may or may not enjoy robotic porn, if Topless Robot were to offer it.

Who am I kidding? They'd enjoy it. You would, too. Robots are win.

The most beautiful thing in the world

Also, I have something very special and incredibly lame planned for September. Stay tuned, True Believers!
