  1. The 5 stages of the new Daft Punk

    I’ve been going through them for months now. Recognize any of these emotions in yourself?

    1. DENIAL

    daft1

    Nope nope nope this is NOT going to be like when Alive 2007 owned the end of my 2007 and all of my 2008 and parts of my 2009. I’ll just watch this YouTube clip of the combined SNL promos one. more. time. [Repeat dozens of times]

    2. ANGER

    daft2

    Woooooooah-kay, that Soundcloud file is NOT the actual full version of “Get Lucky”. I’m going to savage this latest faker in an Internet comment section. That busywork makes the waiting easier, right? [Repeat dozens of times]

    See the rest of the five-step Daft Punk process. »

  2. Free Jahar (by downloading my mixtape)

    Hey y’all, it’s me, Troy Crossley. You may know me as the talented young rapper using his music to get the word out about the innocence of accused Boston Marathon bomber Dzhokhar (Jahar) Tsarnaev.

    But I’m not just an aspiring musician and entrepreneur (I am those things, though) – I’m also a champion of social justice, as well as an extremely gifted rapper, but also the social justice thing, too.

    Jahar is innocent, and I have proof. (Read more) »

  3. Randy-Travis-mug-shot

    The other side of the country song

    “Before He Cheats”
    (A statement from Oklahoma 9th Judicial Circuit Court, the Hon. Lindsay R. Stapleton presiding)

    Right now, you’re probably wishing that you could shoot a little whiskey. Right now, you’re probably thinking your ditty was much too risky. Right now, you’re probably hoping that the Court rules for you or that he won’t show.

    Oh, yes. I know.

    But Miss Underwood, the fact remains that when you “dug your key” into the side of “his pretty little souped-up 4-wheel drive,” you engaged in an act of vandalism as the pickup truck is obviously valued at more than the $400 required for this felony charge. Guilt is clear in this case. We turn now to a punishment that fits the crime.

    I would be remiss if I overlooked the clear hatred you have for protected classes, such as drinkers of fruit-based cocktails… »

  4. The 2013 Coachella rejected lineup

    It’s a favorite internet tradition to take the annual Coachella lineup poster and fake the hell out of it. We’re glad to carry on that noble ritual.

  5. Borg Cher

    When did Cher become a cyborg?

    The 90s Guy is a column by a man living in the 1990s.

    Holy shit! I turned around for like five minutes and Cher has become some kind of cybernetic angel-being from the future.

    Like, I know she hasn’t really done much lately (other than that weird duet with Beavis and Butthead) but I didn’t know she was taking a break so she could undergo an experimental procedure to bring her that much closer to a state of pure electronic omniscience.

    I mean, you’ve heard that Believe song, right?

    If you haven’t heard it yet, you should check your TV Guide… »

  6. Sergeant Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band sucks

    Album review: The Beatles, “Sergeant Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band”

    Reprinted with permission from Aaron Nevins on Tumblr.

    As a culture, we’ve all been inundated with buzz about The Beatles. They’re probably one of the most hyped bands since The Head and the Heart, and more power to ‘em. Clearly the dude handling their web presence is doing a bang-up job. I like to consider myself immune to these taste-making music blogs, but I finally gave in and gave the so-called “best fuckin band ever” (— Shitcakes2433, YouTube.com) a listen, and I was appalled at what I heard.

    The Beatles are a band that shamelessly rips off everyone from Arcade Fire to Animal Collective to Sufjan Stevens to Vampire Weekend, and anyone in between who received higher than a 7.4 rating on Pitchfork. And believe me, the result is less than the sum of its parts.

  7. Wheatus Teenage Dirtbag sucks

    Why Wheatus’ “Teenage Dirtbag” is the worst song ever made

    My first exposure to Wheatus was in 2007, on the old community-run website flashflashrevolution, a Dance Dance Revolution ripoff that involved tapping the keyboard instead of dancing on a pad.

    When the site was still being run as a for-profit venture, it partnered with bands and gave them little widgets to put on their MySpace pages so people could play DDR files (or “stepfiles”) for said band’s song. We had some slightly big names — 5 Finger Death Punch, Disturbed, Reel Big Fish. I would play these widgets for quick fun. One day, I came across a widget for a band that seemed familiar. It was Wheatus.

    And I regret that day. Read why Wheatus deserve utter ridicule. »

  8. Admiral Bristols at basement concert

    LOCAL MUSIC SCENE REPORT WITH FLEET ADMIRAL AND ALLIED COMMANDER BARRISON BRISTOLS

    4/11: The Precious Little Mysteries, Head Full Of Music, and Slaughterhouse Knives at Beanie’s Bar on 28th:

    “DIDN’T GO, WAS FIGHTING CRUCIAL BATTLE AT SEA. EMERGED VICTORIOUS, DUE TO MY ATTENDANCE TO THE BATTLE, RATHER THAN THE SHOW AT ‘BEANIE’S BAR’”

    4/12: Glow Dome Fights the Blue Cube, Treat-Seekers, and iWinslow at Glitterman & Glitterman’s Wee Pub (the OTHER Glitterman and Glitterman’s Wee Pub, the one with live music)

    “NEARLY MISSED FIRST BAND AS PARKING WAS CLOSE TO IMPOSSIBLE (HAD TO DOCK IN NEARBY BONGWATER PUDDLE) WAS STILL IN UNCLEAR HEADSPACE AFTER EMERGENCY NAVAL MEETING RE: OWNERSHIP OF EARTH’S OCEANS. CAN’T DESCRIBE IT. SO MANY HEROS IN ONE ROOM! NETWORKING OPPORTUNITIES WERE ABOUND, AND THE TASK WE SET FORTH TO ACCOMPLISH WAS COMPLETED WITH RELATIVE EASE IN A PROFESSIONAL ENVIRONMENT. COMPARED SWORDS AND SWAPPED SCAR STORIES AFTERWARD. ALSO, THAT MEETING I MENTIONED WENT WELL, TOO!”

  9. MTV says fuck you

    Why MTV doesn’t play music videos any more

    I am jealous of this idea and of Brian Firenzi’s sniper-quality delivery. His whole message is funny and true and slickly paced.

    Brian’s one of the Five-Second Film guys, and he’s made over a hundred videos on his own channel. Many are this good.

    Watch Brian explain why MTV doesn’t play music videos. »

  10. Candy Crowley

    Obama and Romney sing “I Want Candy”

    This is either a commentary on the entitled nature of the President and his challenger, or a silly pun on the name of debate moderator Candy Crowley.

    Watch our stupid little song. »
