Don’t know Selleck Waterfall Sandwich? Get cool.
to be honest, i don’t ever really sit around and jam to Ben Folds. he’s an excellent song writer, but i just am way too punk rawk to crank my stereo up while listening to a dude being all cornfed white boy ironic about things when i’m gettin’ ready to go out to thu cluuubb… nevertheless, Folds is an absolutely consummate performer, ever hilarious and ever entertaining (as you can see from the improv-ed Chatroulette vid below.) i saw him and William Shatner at the El Rey way back when and the night chock full of nerd awesome is still one of my favorite shows ever. the guy takes cheese and spins it into pure gold. Wed and Thurs he’s playing back to back shows at the Henry Fonda with brit cutie Kate Miller Heidke, and this is a three thumbs up show from j. satan. get your tickets for Wed and/or Thurs here.

Named after the song that plays in the background, Trucker’s Delight (by FLAIRS) is an homage to the little things in life that truckers enjoy… such as tits, ass, and boners. It was created with 8-bit sega-era graphics by newcomer Jérémie Périn, who proves he has a hell of a sense of humor. If 8-bit boobies don’t fly at your office, you have a shitty office, so don’t watch this:

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.)

Lykke Li – Little Bit
When I found out Lykke Li is scheduled to perform at The Wiltern way back when, I got all types of hot and bothered. Strange. It was at that moment I came to the realization I had a woman crush. Damn. It felt awkward at first, and I looked around hoping none of my coworkers noticed, but then I proceeded to convince myself what I was feeling was completely natural. Firstly, she’s a sexy Swede who makes dancing like your weird Aunt Janis at Bat Mitzvah’s look good. Secondly, she writes lyrics like “I’m workin’, to make butter for my piece of bun”. Butter for your piece of bun? You can’t deny that shit. Thirdly she’s got a bevy of odd ‘instruments’ like bike chains, kazoos, strung bells and plastic clappers that she plays during her songs, she even sings through a bullhorn on occasion. Do me a favor, vote No on Prop 8. I want to give this chick a deserving home.
