I’ve got nothing against Serj Tankian or System of A Down.

But I find the premise and apparent execution of this project utterly HILARIOUS.

“Where Do We Go From Here?” Trailer

Upcoming documentary about Death, the first punk rock band!

A couple of black kids from inner city Detroit revolutionized music…and nobody knew…

“They’re going to need to rewrite the history books” - Tom Mullen of Capitol Records

“These dudes were pre-Sex Pistols, pre-Bad Brains, pre-all that shit, and nobody knows them. I don’t understand how the whole world could forget them.” - Mos Def

“When I was told the history of the band and what year they recorded this music, it just didn’t make sense. Ahead of punk, and ahead of their time.” - Jack White of the White Stripes

*I’m going to support this hard, incase you didn’t notice haha*

Stop What You’re Doing And Watch The Hell — THE HELL — Out Of This of the Day: Patton Oswalt’s classic “Christmas Shoes” bit set to mood-elevating animation.

(NSFW, shoe jizz)

[via.]

Even though I think reblogging The Daily What is probably just an exercise in clogging people’s Dashboards, this is one of my favorite Patton Oswalt bits and I heard this song while wandering around the mall the other day and threw up a little in my mouth.

If you’ve never heard the song, go find it, and don’t send me hate mail for ruining your Christmas spirit.

These little beauties first entered my life at my brother’s wedding reception a couple years ago. When my sister-in-law makes them, she calls them mints.

This is inaccurate.

These, my friends, are Mini-Frosting Bombs. As far as I can tell, they are nothing more than cream cheese frosting and sugar.

They’re like an amazing cake without all that baked bullshit.

You’re gonna charge $400 for that? Aren’t you from India? What’re you going to do with $400?!

Best new Tumblr I’ve found in a while. Particularly heartbreaking for anyone who’s had to work freelance before.

Wow, just reading this blog is making me angry.

Duke Ellington - “Morning Mood”

November 21, 2009

Concerto for 2 Drumsets in F-flat Minor

Personally, I would have transposed this to G-sharp Major to really enhance the double bass grooves, but you know, they’re young… so whatever   ;-)

Christian Rappers Warn of the Dangers of Full Frontal Hugging.

But, apparently shooting out windows is ok, because that is what they pretend to do at the end of this…whatever it is.

GIMME THAT CHRISTIAN SIDE HUG!

This definitely earns an “Oh, for fuck sake.”

Cave In - “Big Riff”

Big riff, IN-DEED! :-)

This is My Sandwich.

For at least five years now, this is what I get EVERY TIME I go to Subway.

Oven Roasted (i.e. pre-cooked, then re-heated) Chicken on 9-Grain Honey Oat bread. American cheese, lettuce, tomato, cucumber, pickle, jalapeño, Chipotle Southwest Sauce, and salt and pepper. It’s an incredible balance of hot and sweet and fresh and fatty.

But I’m thinking it’s time for something new. Does anyone else have Their Sandwich? (Subway haters can just stay away)

CONGRATULATIONS JUSTIN AND MARISSA! I’ve only had the pleasure of hanging out with you guys on a couple occasions, but they were both most excellent times!

(ehh, I don’t have any videos of me with Justin)

Oh for fuck sake. I’m going to bed.

There’s nothing like poly-rhythms to empty your brain of EVERYTHING THAT WAS EVER IN IT. THIS IS DRUM CALCULUS.

China’s $200 billion economic stimulus high-speed rail system.
Meanwhile, what has our trillion dollar stimulus accomplished?
“At the end of the day, America will still have our horribly inefficient and only quasi-solvent banking system. Chances for meaningful reform are still bleak, crony-capitalism alive and well.
China, meanwhile, will end up with 16,000 miles of energy-efficient railway connecting their major cities. Plus, they get to brag about badass 236-mph trains. If the U.S. insists on throwing piles of money at something, shouldn’t it be for something cool like really fast trains?”

While I don’t disagree with the sentiment here, let’s not forget that China has a giga-shit-ton of people who don’t believe they are too good to manual labor.

And, I mean, this is probably racist but I’d feel remiss in not mentioning it… who built our railroads?
