• Atlas Genius Dazzles Fans At Webster Hall Showcase [10 Photos + Video]

  In Music / 1 May 2013 / 0 comments

  

  Atlas Genius recently wrapped up a sold-out tour with Imagine Dragons and are now the Australians are hitting the road for their first ever North American headlining tour. They will also perform at numerous festivals, including the Sasquatch! Festival, Lollapalooza, the Firefly Music Festival, Summerfest, Edgefest, San Francisco’s BFD and San Diego’s X-Fest. If the music industry was a high school yearbook than Atlas Genius would be Most Likely To Succeed in the superlatives section. Every major music publication has highlighted Atlas Genius in their “bands to watch in 2013″ lists for good reason. These guys really do rock. To celebrate the honor of being named a “MTV Artist to Watch” the band performed an intimate show at Webster Hall’s The Studio for roughly 100 diehard fans. The set was live streamed over the web and their label hooked us up with a photo pass to capture all the action. The band absolutely crushed it. At one point the power went out to their microphones and instead of crumbling the band capitalized on the adversity by performing their hit single Trojans acoustically-ish to a hushed the crowd. This singalong was definitely the highlight of the night. All-in-all they are definitely more »

  This past weekend we went to the first weekend of Coachella Arts and Music Festival at Empire Polo Grounds in Indio, Ca. At the festival we saw some incredible bands perform, met hundreds of music fans, went celebrity spotting in the various VIP sections and drank icy cool beers in the Heineken Dome. Luckily we were able to score a coveted photo pass that allowed us to be one of the few publications allowed to roam around with a professional camera. We used a Nikon 5200 with a 16-35mm lens which helped us capture these excellent pictures. If you spot yourself or someone you know feel free to download the pictures and share on Facebook.

• Critiquing Obama’s Pitching Technique

  In Baseball, Sports / 1 April 2013 / 0 comments

  

  Today, President Barack Obama posted a picture to Facebook of him greasing up the ol’ windmill, practicing his pitching form. At first glance it looks like he has a pretty good pitching motion but we talked to a pitching expert, former pro pitcher and pitching instructor to give “Ba-Rocket” Obama a few pointers. In addition to the pointers below, our expert has offered a free lesson to the Obama (afterall he’ll have three more Opening Days as the leader of the free world) so if anyone from the Secret Service is reading this and he’d like to take us up on the offer you probably already know how to find us.

We’ve narrowed down the list to the top 10 but if you want to see all 100 check them out on Bloomberg Sports.

• Watch: RSVLTS Original Video “Goats Yelling Like Humans” Featured On Jimmy Kimmel Live!

  In Television / 21 February 2013 / 0 comments

  

  Last night, I got about a dozen text messages, all at the same time, saying that our “Goats Yelling Like Humans” super cut video was featured on Jimmy Kimmel Live! He is well known for featuring popular YouTube videos, and Goats was the third most shared video on the entire internet last week. So it makes sense that he featured this, but I was still surprised and extremely psyched. It’s amazing how much this has blown up in the last week.

• Cool Runnings: Then and Now, 20th Anniversary Reunion Edition

  In Movies / 5 February 2013 / 0 comments

  

  The cast of Cool Runnings recently reunited at Calgary’s Plaza Theatre Sunday to celebrate the 20th anniversary of it’s release. Several members of the cast were on hand to sign autographs, take photos and watch a special screening of the beloved movie. Two cast members, Leon Robinson and Doug E. Doug, decided against watching the matinee saying, “Last night I watched it, and I was like ‘OK, that’s enough,’” Doug explained to Metro Calgary. “You start to get critical of yourself. You’re not watching what people are watching. You’re just thinking, ‘Wow, my head looks big. My dreadlocks look messy.’”  So this got us thinking, what is the cast up to these days? Obviously John Candy is no longer with us and Sanka Coffie is an all-star on Facebook but what about everyone else? Let’s do a quick check in.

• Exclusive: Hunter Hayes Performs at the Pepsi 5th Quarter Official Super Bowl After-Party

  In Music / 4 February 2013 / 0 comments

  

  Hunter Hayes is nominated for three Grammy Awards and is the most exciting young talent in the industry. He performed at Pepsi’s 5th Quarter official Super Bowl after-party for a very intimate crowd of a few dozen. Pepsi invited us out to the party and we were fortunate enough to score a spot in the very front. Judging by the reaction we got to our Justin Timberlake videos we figured you guys like seeing music content so we used the opportunity to shoot some video. Hunter reminds us of a young John Mayer with country influence. He is immensely talented, performing every instrument on his debut, self-titled album, has a great voice and wrote or co-wrote all the songs on the album as well. This is a staggering trifecta that will make him a force for years to come.

• The 17 Types Of People At Your Super Bowl Party

  In Football, Sports / 30 January 2013 / 0 comments

  

  Usually when a “Types Of People At Your Super Bowl Party” list is created it is rehashed from someone else’s list the previous year so the info is out of date and all the types of people are totally negative downers. This go around we wanted the list to pertain to the actually Ravens vs 49ers games and also include some positive types of people too. This angle makes ours the best, most complete list ever created.

• $30 Million NYC Bachelor Pad Fit For A President

  In New York City, Real Estate / 22 January 2013 / 0 comments

  

  If you’re in the market for a top notch New York City bachelor pad with a patriotic history look no further. This is one of the most impressive pieces of real estate available in The Big Apple. 80 Washington Place in Greenwich Village was built in 1839 but was recently renovated into a stunning masterpiece of fine design elements ranging from wooden floors, stone walls, and exposed brick. Famed composer and conductor John Philip Sousa owned the house in the early 1900′s. Quick history crash course, Sousa wrote patriotic hits as “Semper Fidelis,” the official march of the Marines, and “The Stars and Stripes Forever,” our nation’s national march. Feel free to bust out this trivia fact when you hold a $5,000-a-plate fund raiser for Chris Christie’ 2016 Presidential campaign. The house hit the market for $31.5 million in June 2012, making it the most expensive townhouse for sale in Greenwich Village, but the sky-high price was lowered to $29.9 million earlier this month. What a steal! Still an outrageous number, but if you can afford this 5-story gem with a 360 degree view from the roof it would make for some epic cocktail parties.

• Leonardo DiCaprio’s 15 Greatest Movies According To IMDb

  In Movies / 19 January 2013 / 0 comments

  

  Leonardo DiCaprio is one of the most revered actors currently working in Hollywood. With two highly anticipaed movies set to be released in 2013, The Great Gatsby and The Wolf of Wall Street, it is being reported that Leo will be taking a mini retirement from acting. “I am a bit drained. I’m now going to take a long, long break. I’ve done three films in two years and I’m just worn out,” he told German media outlet Bild . In the meantime he said, “I would like to improve the world a bit. I will fly around the world doing good for the environment.” Everyone seems to have a different favorite Leo DiCaprio movie. It’s an argument that could be debated until you’re blue in the face, so instead of doing that we’ve decided to use empirical data from IMDB’s user base of millions to rank his best movies. To the right you’ll see the IMDb rank as decided by users and the movie title.

• Johnny Cash Live At Folsom Prison Was 45 Years Ago Today [HQ Photos]

  In Music / 13 January 2013 / 0 comments

  

  Since his 1955 song “Folsom Prison Blues”, Johnny Cash had been interested in performing at a prison. Backed with June Carter, whom he married later that year; Carl Perkins and the Tennessee Three, Cash performed two shows at Folsom State Prison in California on January 13, 1968. The performance, which consisted of two sets—one in the morning, and one in the early afternoon—was recorded and edited down for Johnny Cash at Folsom Prison, an album regarded by some as one of the greatest live albums of all time. The success of At Folsom Prison revitalized Cash’s career; according to Cash, “that’s where things really got started for me again”.

  Last night at the launch event for AXE Apollo there was a special guest appearance. Buzz Aldrin. The second bro to ever step foot on the Moon. Take a moment to read his Wikipedia. The stories of his genius level intelligence and fearlessness in the face of unimaginable danger is awe-inspiring. Buzz didn’t do any press at the event and only showed face for a moment but I seized the opportunity by blowing past security and got to shake the hand of this American legend. Buzz was an critical piece in realizing the the dream of JFK as he said, “We choose to go to the moon in this decade and do the other things, not because they are easy, but because they are hard” and because of this we pulled together a collection of his most iconic photos, as they are some of the most important photos in history.

  In Bar Refaeli, Screen, Women / 4 January 2013 / 0 comments

  

  NASCAR star Danica Patrick may have just had her Super Bowl star power upstaged by the most beautiful women in the world. Go Daddy, known to be the the Super Bowl’s raciest advertiser, will name supermodel Bar Refaeli as its newest Super Bowl-bound Go Daddy girl on Friday. It seems like this move was triggered after Mercedes-Benz announced that fellow Sports Illustrated Swimsuit cover model Kate Upton will star in its Super Bowl spot. The ad titled “Perfect Match” will be filmed next week in Los Angeles and to the dismay of many male (and female) viewers won’t feature her in a skimpy bikini as we’re used to seeing her. Instead she will be wearing a formal dress – much like how MB will use Kate Upton in their ad. Bar Refaeli joins a roster of 16 female models, actresses, personalities and athletes who have been GoDaddy Girls in the past, view the full roster below. .
