UNSUNG HERO: Drunk Man Sings Seal’s ‘Kiss From A Rose’ to His Cat, Wins YouTube

In VIDEO / 15 September 2012 / 0 comments

Most people get home from a night of drinking and almost burn down their apartment after falling asleep in the middle of cooking a grilled cheese or send a regrettable text to wrong ‘Ashley From Bar’ in their address book. YouTube user bard55, on the other hand, creates art. He uploaded a video of himself singing ‘Kiss From a Rose’ by the former Mr. Heidi Klum, and a rich stinking deposit of shiny internet gold was struck.
Fresh Tracks and Six Packs: New summer albums and the beer they deserve

In Music / 19 July 2012 / 0 comments

Summer has kicked in to high gear, but that playlist you made in May is starting to feel a little stale. A man can not live on The Black Keys and Alabama Shakes alone (though I wouldn’t fault him for trying). Luckily, some new tunes have arrived fresh off the music grill just in time. Here are some great new albums to keep your summer parties rocking. Because all good music needs a good beer the way all redheads need SPF 50, I’ve paired up these albums with the perfect brew.
WARNING: The Jersey Shore cast is airborne

In Comedy / 29 June 2012 / 1 comment

Here is an important public service announcement for our readers: Be advised. Take shelter. Call your loved ones and tell them to stay indoors and immediately dispose of any visible self-tanner and Bacardi 151 in the vicinity (your mom shouldn’t be using that stuff anyway). The prophecies are coming true. This isn’t a drill. The cast of Jersey Shore has been given the power of flight.
International Trailer for Tarantino’s Django Unchained: A Fistful of Bad Ass

In Trailer / 14 June 2012 / 1 comment

The international trailer for Quentin Tarantino’s next film Django Unchained just bust into the internet saloon in a hail of blazing gunfire. This movie looks like True Grit did a mountain of cocaine with Lethal Weapon and doused the set of Hatfields & McCoys in sixty gallons of lighter fluid. That’s a really roundabout, convoluted way of saying this movie looks unreal. Jamie Foxx and Christoph Waltz are the on-screen duo we never knew we needed. Leonardo DiCaprio looks like he’s actually having a pretty OK time in a movie for the first time in the history of cinematic Leonardos (TMNT II’s Leonardo was such a buzzkill). I honestly was starting to think he was born without the ability to smile (It’s a real condition. Look it up. We’re all in this together.) Although, I’m a little concerned about Samuel L. Jackson in this movie. I’m not quite sure if he’s quite ready to play a ridiculously crazy bad ass. It takes years to hone that craft. Good luck, Sam. Get ready for this movie people, because I guarantee it’ll be the best western since Oklahoma City beat the Spurs.
10 Wild (But Not So Crazy) Predictions for Season 6 of Mad Men

In Television / 11 June 2012 / 1 comment

Now that Mad Men’s 5th season has left the surly bonds of Sunday nights, there is a Fat Betty-sized hole in our lives that can only be filled by drinking an afternoon Old Fashioned and watching Megan Draper GIFS. Also, new episodes of Breaking Bad will help. In the mean time, we might as well start guessing what is going to happen on Season 6 of AMC’s classy ode to drinking, smoking, lying, Beatles royalties, murder nightmares, co-worker boxing, commuter boxing, beans, and avoiding necessary dental procedures (Don’t be a Don. Get that “hot tooth” checked right away, people).
Possible leaked iPhone 5 part hints at some new features

In Apple, Technology / 8 June 2012 / 2 comments

A ton of possible iPhone 5 parts have leaked out in the last few weeks. I got my hands on the latest exclusive of what might be expected in the next iPhone. This photo was sent by an anonymous tipster who said they smuggled it out of Apple’s headquarters by hiding in a a crate of discarded medical waste (why Apple has the need to discard of massive amounts of medical waste is yet to be answered).
The Roots and Jimmy Fallon Cover ‘Call Me Maybe’ with the Carly Rae Queen herself

In Music, VIDEO / 8 June 2012 / 1 comment

No matter how you feel about ‘Call Me Maybe’ at this point, you have no choice but to just surrender to its hypnotic powers and accept that it will be here forever. Long after the oceans rise and cities fall, all that will be left are rats, maybe some resilient sharks, and ‘Call Me Maybe.’ It’s science. Deal with it. While you’re dealing with it, watch the best ‘Call Me Maybe’ cover to date (though if Carly Rae is in it, can it be considered a cover?) with Jimmy Fallon and roots and some elementary school instruments. This song is our past, our present, and our future. This video shows how bright that future can be.
