It’s nice to learn that even after knowing Ty Ty for over three years, i still haven’t fully gained his trust (because of #2).

The Afghan Whigs - “Miss World” (Hole cover)
Inspired by Tyler’s recent Whigs cover song post.
Adland.tv has put together the largest collection of Super Bowl ads in the world, so if you want to reminisce about Pepsi Twist or the Bud Bowl, this is the place.
If you’re even the slightest bit interested in watching old commercials, you could waste a lot of time here.
The trailer for Birdemic will change your life, but you have to wait for it. (via Videogum)
Pavement, LCD Soundsystem, Raekwon, Modest Mouse and Sleigh Bells? That’s worth $90 right there. Everything from here on out is just gravy. Can’t wait for Lazy Town!
“Small Wonder Is So Gay”
Be sure to read Rich Four Four’s review of the entire first season of this terrible, terrible show. He took one for all of us.
After learning that Baseline Studios, the birthplace of some of my favorite music from the past decade, was closing up shop, I pulled a 2006 interview I conducted for VIBE with Justin Smith AKA Just Blaze, the studio’s longtime steward and creative heartbeat, from my archives. We sat together in Room A of the studio and talked for roughly three hours about the nuts and bolts of his production process, the making of The Blueprint, the long delay and problems of Saigon’s still-unreleased album, and the frustration and disappointment over the dissolution of Roc-A-Fella. An abridged version is running right now on Sound of the City, which you can read here; I may post the entire 15,000 word beast later this week. (It’s kinda boring!)
As a companion I’ve compiled a series of playlists denoting different phases in Just’s career. They’re not sequenced or rebranded, just collected. This isn’t quite definitive, I’d say I’m 90-95% there. If something is missing, and you’ve got it, recommend or send along: sean[DOT]fennessey[AT]gmail[DOT]com. And enjoy.
This is fantastic.
Self - “What A Fool Believes”
The George Michael version of this that Maura linked to earlier is really great, but this is still my favorite.
I saw this little public service poster this weekend while in the Humphrey terminal at the Minneapolis airport and i have to say, i love this kind of stuff. It’s one of those “how effective is that” things we come across so often in life that we hardly even notice them, like the “Just Say No” messages that used to be in packages of Bazooka gum. Has any kid been on the verge of doing drugs but then thought better of it because of a last second reminder from Bazooka Joe? In the case of the parrot here, he was pushing he anti-smuggling message outside the Fisherman’s Wharf Bar & Grill in the lightly trafficked, non-international terminal of a Minnesota airport. How many people is he really reaching? I suppose in a situation like this the cost is so minimal that if it reaches one person it’s worth it. I just highly doubt it will even do that.
