It is pretty funny but quickly turns to side-splitting classic when he performs the Beastie Boys’ Sabotage in the […]

indian sweet child o’ mine

This version of Guns & Roses Sweet Child O’ Mine performed by Indians with electric sitars is amazing. That song really holds up, still one of my all-time favorites.

bright eyes

While I was away in Dubai I had opposite forces of pop culture pulling at me. On one side, there was the ever present influence of British culture and music which opened my ears to some new-ish artists I might never had heard in NY. We’ll talk about some of them another time. On the […]

vacation from vacation

As always, I apologize for my shitty blogging. I have no excuse this time. It’s not like I have a job or anything to do during the day. I’ve moved into an incredible Easy Village apartment temporarily and I’ve been enjoying the scenery. I have spent the last two weeks buzzed or drunk every day, […]

go giants

I never got a chance to express my complete excitement that the Giants are in the Superbowl vs. the Patriots. I’ll be in town for turducken for the first time in a few years, but never expected my team to have the chance to create the biggest upset in football history.
Last weeks game vs. Green […]

I don’t know what this lemur is looking at, but it could be the original Dramatic Chipmunk video or maybe even 2girls1cup. I don’t know, but it is funny as hell. Enjoy.

cj reacts to 2girls1cup

I got the chance to share 2girls1cup with my roommate Chris Johnson before he ever even heard what it was. That’s right, a pure virginal reaction.

“Don’t be a pussy.”

Galloping Gertie

A Mythbusters episode this morning reminded me of this crazy video footage of of the Tacoma Narrows Bridge collapse in 1940. Amazing footage. Essentially the bridge was under designed and the wind and natural sway of the bridge sort of aligned in something called “mechanical resonance” and the swaying sort of amplified and amplified until […]

nitrome games

I love these minigames from Nitrome. Beautiful pixel art, fun interactivity, excellent time-wasters. If you have a few hours to waste (I do) go have a look.

fuck planet earth

BBC’s Planet Earth documentary is a stunning achievement in nature videography. It’s a shame the audio track was changed for the final version. Have a look at some of the unedited footage.

So fucking funny.
