Posted in awesome, clip, ridiculous, yay, ♫ on February 7th, 2009

(watch the video here… youtube won’t let me embed it)

from the lonely island, the guys who brought you “lazy sunday” and “dick in a box.” I’ve been a fan of theirs for years, so it’s great to see they’re really hitting their stride right now.

ah, mates of state.

Posted in yay, ♫ on January 9th, 2009

lately I’ve been on the hunt for songs I haven’t listened to in a while, and tonight it’s the first mates of state song I ever heard called leave me at the tree. it’s off their split 7″ with a band called fighter d and was released back in ‘99. (has it been that long?) this song found its way on most of the indiepop mix tapes I was making back then. check it out:

they’re still going strong, you know. they’ve grown over the years but continue to maintain the brand of charm few other bands can match. check out a track from their latest:

how psyched am I for the yip man movie?

Posted in awesome, clip, sweet, whoa, yay on November 19th, 2008

I don’t know when it’s coming to the states but the yip man movie is opening in china in mid-december. this is a biographical movie about yip man, played by none other than donnie yen.

for those who aren’t familiar with yip man, he was a master of wing chun kung fu who is famous for having taught bruce lee.

if you’ve ever said “I really wish mtv would play music videos like they used to” then here’s their shot at redemption: mtvmusic.com

it’s still in beta, but you can go on there and look for that music video you haven’t seen in years. pretty much what you already have been doing on youtube, but with better video quality.

the first thing I checked for on this site was this video.

get pumped for star trek, y’all.

I’m mainly pumped for the two dudes who are slightly out of focus in the back: john cho as sulu and my main man simon pegg as scotty.
