Wreck The Tape Deck

Animal Collective created a film… it will be featured at Sundance. Avey Tare says, “It’s kinda like a psychedelic film, it’s not like a narrative film or anything.” He explained. “There are more cohesive moments in it, but then there are some that are a little more abstract.” I’m gonna go out on a limb here and say it’s gonna be weird.

Here are the Top 5 YouTube sports moments of 2009. Little kids playing football O-M-G.

Check out the artwork of Elizabeth Graeber. This sweet narwhal is just one of many gems.

Hey LA! Rolling Stone magazine is opening a nightclub/restaurant on Hollywood & Highland. Here’s what one of the magazine partner’s has to say: “We are both excited and determined to bring the spirit of the magazine to life – the edginess, the coolness, the classiness and the timelessness – in making this venue a place to see and be seen in.” …. Hmm, a nightclub attached to an outdoor mall is a place to be seen? Yeaah… I’m gonna go hang with the elite crowd at Dave & Buster’s.

Trailer for Brooklyn’s Finest, the new movie from Antoine Fuqua, director of Training Day. It looks like a thug-life version of The Departed. Reasons why I post this:
- It features the return of Wesley “Dark Chocolate” Snipes
- I met Don Cheadle once and he was pretty cool
- I spotted Omar from The Wire in the background somewhere…

This is absolutely magnificent. No Mas hired artist James Blagden to animate the story of Dock Ellis’ 1970 no hitter… that he pitched while “high as a Georgia pine” on LSD. Proving that steroids aren’t the ONLY drug in baseball.

Paper Nikes by David Brownings. Just GLUE IT! …I’ll stop now.

Awesome money hats made from the world’s currency.

Jason Segal sings a hilarious song about trying to have sex with a Swell Season fan in LA. He includes his working phone number.
“Remember when I showed my penis in Forgetting Sarah Marshall? Well there were no special effects…”

Happy Friday the 13th! Ahhhhhh!! Eminem is returning to Hollywood! AHHHHHHHH! He’s playing the lead role in a 3-D horror flick called Shady Talez! YaaaAAAA! Look how they spelled Tales!! Yes this is all true, and the above image is part of a 4-issue Marvel comic series that will accompany the movie. No word on a release date yet…

Dan Deacon HOSPITALIZED! Whoa. Apparently he performs with such ferocity that he totally fucked up his back and had to cancel the rest of his tour.

A post on the Facebook page for Deacon’s show at Clark University tomorrow night says, “DAN DEACON HAS POSTPONED THIS SHOW on 11/14/2009 DUE TO HOSPITALIZATION WITH ACUTE SCIATICA. THE SHOW WILL BE RESCHEDULED TO JANUARY.” – Pitchfork

Beanie Sigel ft. 50 Cent – I Go Off

The Beanie Sigel vs. Jay-Z feud just got ridiculous…Sigel went and recruited 50 Cent and they put together a shall-we-say, ‘gutter,’ diss track for Mr. Empire State himself. That snarling Beanie Sigel has a lot of anger towards jigga, I’m still not really sure why, but if jay doesn’t respond it’s gonna be pretty…anti-climactic. Especially after 50 calls him out at the end: “It’s your move.”

Congratulations to our friend Joe Sabia on being gobbled up by mashable, gizmodo, techcrunch, etc., etc., etc., for his innovative “google wave cinema” videos! Surely on it’s way to viral video status. Check out his other youtube hits at Whirled Citizen.

“I’ve read the articles, watched the instructional videos, and gotten an invite, but nothing—nothing—has done more to explain to me how this mind-melting Internet Thing works than Pulp Fiction, spectacularly adapted for Google Wave. (Warning: Tarantino language ahead)” – John Herrman @gizmodo

A fucking awesome collection of lego dudes. Many more can be seen at MacLane’s Flickr (Batman, Nightcrawler, Wonderwoman, T-1000, etc.)

NEWSWORTHY:
-The Flaming Lips (whose new album, Embryonic, is getting rave reviews everywhere) are going to cover Dark Side of the Moon
-Download Lupe Fiasco’s bonus track “Solar Midnite” from the heavy-hitting Twilight soundtrack
-John Mayer’s new song gets HATED on in the A.V. Club’s pop culture love letters: “Who says John Mayer can’t make an “introspective” video without any modicum of interesting introspection at all? Who says?”
-5 badass authors more badass than the badass characters they created
