Sam Humphries' singular possessive apostrophe: I FOUND ICE CUBES 'GOOD DAY'

aaronmoles:

murkavenue:

CLUE 1:
“went to short dogs house,
they was watching Yo MTV
RAPS”
Yo MTV RAPS first aired:
Aug 6th 1988
CLUE 2:
Ice Cubes single “today was a good day” released on:
Feb 23 1993
CLUE 3:
”The Lakers beat the Super
Sonics”
Dates between Yo MTV Raps air date AUGUST 6…

Damn. We just missed the 20-year anniversary! I’m sure it was a good day, at least.

This is some solid detective work, but I don’t think we can close this case until someone can confirm what the lights of the Goodyear Blimp said on that (allegedly) good day.

Not a fan.

Oh, they’re just training for the Zombie Apocalypse.

But seriously, this has been going on for years all over the place. They even did some urban exercises in Alpena, Michigan one summer (and fighter jets routinely practice over the Great Lakes). SLOW NEWS DAY.

paulytamale: kenohno: erniwalker: nailed it There will be a small pilot Meat Week in metro Detroit this year! Detroit Meat Week? So Slow’s BBQ every night for a week? This is an exploratory year, so we’re starting small to see if we can build a base before creating an official chapter. A Detroit chapter would have some unique issues to overcome (unpredictable weather, vastness of the metro area, personal safety). Slow’s is certainly on the agenda, but there are other good places under consideration (Red Smoke BBQ in Greektown, R.U.B. BBQ Pub in Detroit and Warren, Red Hot and Blue in Sterling Heights, and Lockhart’s in Royal Oak).

Kickass Cover Mashup of the Day: Luc Bergeron AKA Zapatou mashes up 71  covers of Adele’s “Rolling in the Deep” from all around the world.

A full list of links to the original covers can be found in the video’s description.

(As you’re watching this and enjoying yourself keep in mind that this is the exact sort of thing that PIPA and SOPA seek to prohibit. Politicians are backpeddling in droves, but the fight continues. Take action now.)

[zapatou.]

Not to disparage anyone’s efforts here, but there are some truly HEINOUS key changes going on in this that make my ears cry and may inadvertently lead people to believe some of the performers aren’t very good.

Why the video pros are moving away from Apple

donpachuco:

randallb:

It’s true. If I were in video, doing projects for anyone other than myself, I wouldn’t use FCPX or any Apple products at all.

Video projects for myself, I totally prefer FCPX. If I had a team though, and had any stakeholders other than myself, I’d go premiere pro at this point.

Are more people really starting to use Premiere Pro now? I had to stop using FCP ‘cause it was my roommates and he moved out. I was lucky enough to get a full version of Premiere Pro and After Effects, albeit CS4, about 7 months ago, but I’ve been really, really liking it so far. I haven’t used Avid since college, but I’m taking a class to get a certification at the end of the month anyway. When I first learned non-linear editing, it was before HD, Red, 3D, etc. It’ll be good to get a refresher and get caught up!

I’ve been using Premiere Pro CS5.5 here at GM since September (on a Mac). I’ve been using After Effects for years, so the learning curve wasn’t too bad. I’m generally impressed with the application, but there are small things I miss from FCP. I don’t feel like I’m using Premiere quite at the same level I could use FCP7. To put it in other words, if I’m skilled enough to get 40mpg out of FCP, I’m only getting 30mpg out of Premiere (mostly due to operator skills).

I’m not ready to ditch FCP7 for my personal/freelance projects just yet, but I take solace in knowing that Premiere is ready and waiting for me to dive in when the day comes.

Thrice, “Milly Michaelson” (Cover) 

I don’t usually repost these things, but this is too good not to.

This is a nice cover, but I think a vibraphone would be a better fit with the mellow guitar arrangement.

thedailywhat: Getting The Band Back Together of the Day: Influential post-hardcore legends At the Drive-In will reunite this year after an eleven year hiatus. An official website has been launched, along with a Twitter account which confirms the band’s reunion. The announcement comes two days after Mars Volta frontman Cedric Bixler-Zavala — the man responsible for ATD-I’s 2001 breakup — announced that his band’s sixth studio album was nearly done and would be released this year. TMV’s other At The Drive-In alumnus, guitarist Omar Rodríguez-López, previously stated the band’s next album would be their last, but added that an ATD-I reunion was not forthcoming.  Shows what he knows. [altpress / nme.] Woooooo!
