This weekend’s pick is my first personal selection off of Death Cab’s latest album, “Narrow Stairs”. Great album, and this happens to be one of their more upbeat tunes.

This is a sweet acoustic version of the song I found from The Black Cab Sessions. Basically, a cab drives around London while musicians play one take of their song while crammed in the back seat. Pretty cool.

This is a follow up to the “Bill ‘Rampage’ O’Reilly” post from a few weeks ago — you know, the one where he flips out and shows the world what an asshole he is?

Well, new footage from his teleprompter has been leaked that shows exactly what caused him to flip out. It’s pretty amazing….

Best Rick Roll ever? I think so.

I hear this guy is the “Ghostbusters” of plastic surgery. Although, I have to ask Mr. Aycock, was the “G” middle initial really neccessary on your sign?

Who ya gonna call? G. Aycock!

In Tokyo, they have a saying: “She with loud mouth, not good with balls”. This profound Japanese philosophy has kept their country peaceful for the past 500 years.

And try as she might, Mariah Carey proved the ancient prophecy still rings true. When throwing the first pitch at a Japanese baseball game, she shows the world that she still has what it takes to suck.

Worst. Pitch. Ever. I think a strong breeze could throw the baseball farther.

Next time, skip the sushi buffet and throw a couple practice tosses before going out in front of 80,000 Japanese people.

There’s just some arguments that aren’t worth fighting.

Let it go, buddy. Let it go.

This is a pretty standard prank video where a guy scares the shit out of his dorm roommate. But the roommates failed retaliation is priceless.

Looks like he broke his computer with that pin-point football throw.

Wow. This video is f**king awesome. Kudos, Weezer. You’ve impressed me.

This week’s hot pick comes from The Kooks, a UK band that’s already huge across the pond. Their ‘06 debut CD Inside In/Inside Out got them some attention, and included the single “Naive”, which I guarantee you’ve heard.

A little fun fact: the band got their name from a song off of David Bowie’s 1971 album Hunky Dorky, entitled “Kooks”. I would have preferred a reference from Labyrinth, but who am I.

Their latest CD, Konk (’08), is really solid, and promises to deliver a bunch of singles. So get ready to hear a lot from these guys.

As one of the rare hockey fans left on earth, this video is both amazingly funny, and so very, very sad. It’s like watching dreams be crushed before your eyes.

Sure, it’s minor league hockey. But it’s still their championship trophy. And it breaks in half like an arm in a Steven Segal movie. The guy holding it doesn’t even do anything, it just falls apart.

I love how the crowd reacts. They go freakin’ nuts when it breaks.

And I thought hockey was making a comeback.

Here’s another gem uncovered from the Yahoo! front page.

Who cares? The “dark meaning” of a thumbs up? That’s like reading about the happy history of the middle finger. No one wants to hear it.

Come on, Yahoo. There’s real news out there. Like the deaf guy who kicked ass in American Gladiators last night. That dude owned Gladiator Arena. Watch out though, Dr. Carrot is coming for you…

This week’s flog is another selection from PMP’s IdiotPantsParty. Make sure to check out the blog every few days for new additions to the idiot dictionary…

#6 The Carlos Mencia

The Carlos Mencia is the Grim Reaper of joketelling. He is to comedy what WalMart is to quality merhcandise. Always shitty. Like a Ghost of Comedians Past, The Carlos Mencia will steal jokes you once loved and rehash them into some generic “Beaner” garbage.

The Carlos Mencia does not need to be a stand-up comedian. You’ll know him as the Guy that shows up at parties, uninvited, with an sack full of dogshit jokes. The same ones you heard last week and the week before that. Sterotypical knee-slappers such as:

“Oohh, look at that truck. I bet you could fit 12 Beaners in there!” and “If a Mexican was President, we’d all have seistas!!”

The jokes are always the same, often peppered with menial catch-phrases and yelling. It’s “comedy” that’ll make you gauge your eyes out. Yet, the Carlos Mencia lacks all self-awarness. (more…)

Here’s a nice little tune for a nice little Sunday. You’ve no doubt heard this song somewhere…either in Apple commercials or maybe while eating a crumpet.

It comes from French-Israeli singer (talk about a combination) Yael Naim, off her self titled ‘07 release. I’ve checked out her CD, but can only understand about 20% of the CD. But hey, maybe you could use it as a cheap way to learn French. Or Israeli. I know I didn’t.

Yael Naim - “New Soul”

That’s exactly what my apartment is like.
