Sooooooooooo dubstep dj Borgore apparently had Miley Cyrus do back up vocals on a new track of his, and the entire world is having a heart attack. Is it good? Is it bad? Is it disgraceful to everything music that this happened? Are dance floors going to split open straight down to the gates of Hell and let demons escape? Does it matter?
Well, there's two points to be made about the song here:
Point #1: All Miley does is back up vocals, and for what it's worth, she can hold a tune, so she does well. She doesn't put any dumb influence on the song aside from that.
Point #2: Almost the same at point 1, but Borgore is clearly the one who wrote the song, and it's still in his style, all the way down to his infinitely-wise rap lyrics:
"Bitches love cake."
Bonus point: If you do actually want demons to come out of the dance floor, I suggest this song:
Remember those Kia commercials with the hamsters? And they're all hippa hoppa dancin' to show the world how much better the Soul was than the Scion? But most importantly, do you remember the DOPE song in the background?
The Choice Is Yours (Revisited)- Black Sheep (1991)
(go to 2:52 if you really can't wait)
Now crank that song, then mute this video and play it:
Here's a video I'd never seen before until today though I (probably like you) have been familiar with it for a while. Comically representative of bass culture.
I don't think I can support anyone else who masturbates in public. Pee Wee Herman is my limit, so sorry Jason Russell, but I offer you no sympathy.
Also, in case you didn't know, it's hard to support your cause when:
1) You act the way you did: http://rt.com/usa/news/kony-2012-arrested-masturbating-777/
2) You have potential legal issues with your non-profit status: http://mashable.com/2012/03/08/kony-2012-scam/
It's just hard to know what to believe anymore man.
I mean, I'm being told cats can talk.
And now I'm supposed to believe that the drunk brunch-time diddle fiddler is helping the world out. For all I know Joseph Kony is my grandpa! Or grandma! Or me!
A friend showed me this. Very much worth the watch. Believe me, as a person who hates it when a friend facebooks me and says, "CHECK OUT THIS RAD VIDEO LAWL," and usually it turns out to be something less than entertaining-- this video is actually very entertaining.
I don't know anything about the band, but here's their myspace if you like the music.
My new essential study tune- 100% In The Bitch (Downlink Remix) by Porter Robinson
...and I think you should check out more Porter Robinson if you dig this song. The kid is 19 years old, toured with/did tech support for Skrillex... he's going places.
Mainstream if you know dubstep, something new if you don't.
The guy is named Skrillex. Former frontman of From First To Last.
I like to think of his stuff as the metal of electronic music, because when he drops, he drops HARD, and if I am ever to get to see him live, I'll want to mosh.
Point #1: his remix of "Hey Sexy Lady." Be sure to have your pants off by 1:25.
Point #2: His remix of Benny Benassi's "Cinema." Your skin melts at 1:20.
Point #3: An original of his, "This Is A Shark Attack." Furious all the way through.
Reminds me of a song by Queens Of The Stone Age called "Run, Pig, Run." If anyone cares.
Every Tuesday, you can count on YouTube being blessed with a new video from a group of Canadians that go by the internet moniker Epic Meal Time.
The gist of what they do is exactly their name describes. They create meals that consistently epic in stature (and I can only imagine in taste as well) and then eat them and make you jealous.
"On the heels of World AIDS Day comes a stunning medical breakthrough: Doctors believe an HIV-positive man who underwent a stem cell transplant has been cured as a result of the procedure.
"Timothy Ray Brown, also known as the 'Berlin Patient,' received the transplant in 2007 as part of a lengthy treatment course for leukemia. His doctors recently published a report in the journal Blood affirming that the results of extensive testing 'strongly suggest that cure of HIV infection has been achieved.'"
And just so long as you're okay with stem cell research (or if you can fake it for a few hours), you're invited to the worldwide party.
So turn on the music, crank up the volume, and pound some Bacardi, planet Earth. We're one step closer to invincibility!
A little while ago I made a post about jack In The Box and their often times incredibly questionable (but still hilarious) advertising schemes. Though this isn't going to be about Jack In The Box, it is about another company that in my opinion has recently been coming up with some really funny commercials that are worth watching once or twice- GEICO.
I want to preface this by saying two things: 1) For a long time (and with the exception of the caveman commercials), GEICO has been located at a place in my mind that is home to the companies that have the absolute stupidest, most nonsensical and all-around WORST advertising campaigns in the history of ever. The commercials that, after watching just once, make you violently shake your head, foam at the mouth, and need to take a handful of aspirin while putting your face in front of a fan on full blast to calm your nerves. For a while, I easily pictured their advertising/marketing team to just be a a few random homeless men that execs at GEICO picked up off the street and paid in cheap booze to scribble on pieces of paper and mess around with a video camera (which I realize could actually be a FANTASTIC idea, but believe me, it's really not, and I would know). That being said, I specifically want to point out these commercials just to show how far these guys have come, so congratulations GEICO, this is my formal acclamation of your forward progress. 2) This campaign is still fairly hit-or-miss (like the elmer fudd one, or the woodchuck one), but there are a few gems in the bunch, so as far as I'm concerned, a 25% success rate is good enough.
So yeah.
This one gets an especially big commendation:
And because I know someone is going to wonder why I didn't post it, I'll post this one. However, 1) I don't really like this commercial, I find it annoying actually, but 2) the mom is a babe, so I'll let point number one slide.
