The Gaga
This video is insane.
I gotta say, now that the obvious Madonna references have subsided, this track is a smash.
But the video... whoa. Awesomeness.
Team Gaga. x

Brilliant.

Keep an eye out for their US invasion...
Custom Guzzi
Please take a look at this BEAST of a Guzzi. I am seriously aroused right now.
As per usual, from the legendary Bike EXIF:
If there’s one class of bike that gets my motor running faster than any other, it’s a Moto Guzzi café racer. This machine comes courtesy of the Italian publication Special Mag—the bike is owned by Francesco Venturi, a young architect, and was built by Marco Lugato. The 1000 SP arrived in Lugato’s workshop disassembled in two boxes, which at least made the process of blueprinting the engine and sandblasting the frame easier. The bike is a mongrel, but in the best possible way: the rear frame was modified to accept the seat from a 1970 Laverda, with the bars coming from an Aprilia Tuono and the front fork from a Kawasaki ZX-6R.
The muffler is a SuperTrapp, and the speedo is from a Harley-Davidson. Brembo’s top of the range Serie Oro brakes are matched to aluminum rims to reduce unsprung weight. To my eyes, the powder blue paintwork and tan leather seat are a perfect contrast with the blacked-out mechanicals. I’d be wary of the grip from the knobbly tires, but I bet this Guzzi is a blast to ride. [Many thanks to Dino Lodola and Roberto Brodolini of specialmag.it. If you can read Italian, check out a PDF of the original article here.]

My buddy and I were OBSESSED with Mario Kart in high school.
Like skip-school-obsessed.
Amazeballz.
Kim Disses Minaj
LOLZ.

"I should claim you on my income taxes"!!!
These lyrics are ferocious.
The Cars
Just when I thought you couldn't possibly be any dumber, you go and do something like this... and totally redeem yourself!
So after Britney comes the legendary CARS.
"Blue Tip" is classic Cars with a fresh beat.
If ya don't know, now ya know: I'm a huge Cars fan.
I am fucking loving this! x
Britney
I just followed the new Radiohead song with Brit Brit's latest track.
Sacrilege?
Oh, and I referred to Ms. Spears as "Brit Brit"
Dear gods above please let this work week end soon.
Clearly, I have lost my fucking mind.

New Strokes. FINALLY.
And I am absolutely lovin this song.
"Under Cover of Darkness"
Nothing beats New York City rock n roll. Nothing.
Weezer Farm
Please tell me how to feel about this one.
I'm begging you.
All of you know how I feel about the new music business.
Bands need to license their music because nobody buys records, BUT...
I can not get on this. Not one fucking bit.
Puke.
Skills
Holy shit, this kid is SICK.
UConn QB, Johnny McEntee.
I don't care how many attempts each shot took, dude is fucking nuts.
Smurf + O'Reilly
= Awesomely hilarious.
When I said I liked O'Reilly, it wasn't because I respect his politics or because I think he's a good guy.
He's a fucking asshole. A raging asshole.
But I've got to give him credit, he'll battle it out w/ Jon Stewart and go on Bill Maher's show.
Respect.
So that being said, thank you Jimmy Kimmel, for this brilliant spoof.
LOLZ
CB750 Custom
Wow. I have had visions running through my head for nearly two years now of how I want my 78 CB750 to look like... And this is almost exactly how I imagined her.
I'm bringing these photos to my mechanic in a few weeks. Fact.
Fucking gorgeous. x
As always, thank you, Bike EXIF:
The comments ran hot when we posted the first bike from Spanish builder Café Racer Dreams, so it’ll be interesting to see the reaction to this one. CRD’s third release is called ‘Military Gold’, a reference to the Firestone Military tires fitted to 19” wheels. It’s 1979 CB750 KZ, and CRD have shown once again how small (and inexpensive) changes can radically change the character of a bike. The engine is stock, apart from modified Keihin carbs, a free-flowing intake system and Megaton mufflers.
The frame has been stripped of all unnecessary addenda, a simplified wiring loom has been fitted, and an aluminum battery box and Renthal bars complete the picture. The fenders are bobbed and everything else has been blacked out or repainted. To our eyes it’s simple, unsophisticated and drop-dead maravilloso.
Foster the People
Lefsetz asked today if this is a hit.
What the fuck is a hit any more? A hit on Z100?
No.
But do I think it's a hit?
Yes.
Foster the People, "Pumped Up Kicks"
The New Pornographers
Here's the new video from The New Pornographers.
It's fucking amazing.
Featuring an all-star cast.
From HitFix:
Paul Rudd with Bill Hader, John Oliver, John Hodgeman, Wyatt Cenac, Horatio Sanz, Todd Barry and numerous other comedians (plus Ted Leo in drag) all drop in for the music video.
The opening of the clip features those first two actors, in what clearly is definitely not a real film, but God knows it could be: "Expectant Dads" will send two zany dudes to Vegas -- as they're expecting their first babies. And, seriously, they made a website for the thing. Look.
Oh, but that's not even the bulk of this monster. "Moves: The Rise and Rise of The New Pornographers" is the main attraction, a preview of an imaginary movie about the indie rock band. Who plays who? You'll have to wait, but just know that a protest against Canadians, red-headed jokes, snorting coke off of a pizza and Brooklyn's cement shithole Death By Audio are all included in this little adventure through the band's fake past.
More info on the credits can be found on the Matador Records blog here.
"Moves" is cute and was culled from the rockers' latest album "Together," out now.
Motor City
This Chrysler ad is fucking SICK.
America. Em. Detroit.
What the fuck else is there?
U-S-A.
Obama vs O'Reilly
I fucking love Bill O'Reilly. I really, really do.
No bullshit, no softballs, just straight up O'Reilly.
Prescilla Ahn
I love this song. And I love this girl.
Going to see her perform tonight at Rockwood Music Hall.
7pm. Crushin hard. x
This is one of the most beautiful things I have seen in a long, long time.
The BBC was allowed video from afar of the last uncontacted tribe of natives on Earth.
They live in the Amazon, near the Brazil-Peru border.
Wow. Unspoiled by greed, capitalism, imperialism, war.
Simply magnificent.
And I pray they only make contact with us if they so wish it...

Janis Lives
My old and dear friend, Goose, posted this little gem.
I had almost forgot about the highlight of the 2005 Grammy Awards.
Joss Stone and Melissa Etheridge - fresh from Cancer treatments - played an epic medley of Joplin's finest.
Watch and take notes, ladies and gentlemen.
I have always defended Ms. Etheridge to the haters, maybe this will quiet them once and for all.
Enjoy. xo
