The drug-maker Abbot Laboratories is constantly running commercials for a drug called Humira, which is supposed to treat “moderate to severe rheumatoid arthritis” as well as psoriasis. The other day one of their spots came on and I noticed that holy shit the list of side effects is terrifying. Continue reading
My last few mixes have been a bit wacky and chaotic, so this time I decided to stop dicking around give you kids a mix of straight-up house beats. A bunch of great tracks have come out lately and I think this is my smoothest mix yet. Probably my favorite recent release is by the German group I’m Not a Band. Their album “Band Band” is fucking glorious, so I threw a bunch of their stuff in. Enjoy. Continue reading
It turns out that Facebook isn’t just a vast wasteland of cat photos and status updates about going to the gym. It can also be used for useful shit, like taking pictures of stoned people when they pass out at the annual Faygo-and-bath-salts party known as the Gathering of the Juggalos.
This post is slightly NSFW… because really people, these are Juggalos we’re talking about. Continue reading
I love road trips so much, but is there anything worse than the friend who brings along a wack-ass mixtape for the ride? With Labor Day weekend coming up and my own personal road trip in the works, I sat down to put together a playlist of the 15 Greatest Road Trip Songs of All Time. Continue reading
It’s not officially a pop-culture sensation until it’s had a grad school-style disseration written about it. So welcome to the canon, “Gangnam Style” — because The Atlantic published an article yesterday making the case that the insane/hysterical K-Pop bath salts hallucination video “is rich with subtle references that, along with the song itself, suggest a subtext with a surprisingly subversive message about class and wealth in contemporary South Korean society.” The article is fucking fascinating. Let’s learn a few things about “Gangnam Style” and the pudgy pop crooner PSY who wrote the song, directed the video and came up with those sweet, sweet dance moves. Continue reading
One of the biggest douchebags I know is constantly posting douchey shit on my Facebook feed. Now, some of the aforementioned douchey shit consists of status updates from his own douchey life, but he’s also extremely fond of posting idiotic image macros from a group page called I Hate Douchebags.
So one day I thought to myself, “Personally I hate douchebags. Why don’t I check out I Hate Douchebags and see what all the excitement is about?” IHD has almost 700,000 followers and it turns out that the people who most hate douchebags bear a striking resemblance to douchebags themselves.
Let’s take a tour. Continue reading
This week I’m hitting you with a mix of tunes that I’d classify as “bass music” — because I don’t have a better name. It’s a mixture of ghetto-tech, electro, dubstep and breakbeat. Over the past few years bass has evolved into its own musical scene thanks to people like Diplo and Starkey. The tracklist and mix are after the jump. Continue reading
You know how it’s always fun to make light of your own shortcomings until someone else points out that you really are an obnoxious, party-ruining alcoholic? Oh, you don’t know what that’s like? Well the German magazine Der Spiegel will show you what it’s like. And those Prussian bastards are pointing and laughing at your Hardees jowls and highly-exposed butt crack.
This article, which was translated from the original German (like all good literature), was published last weekend on Der Spiegel’s International Edition website. Ostensibly the piece was about Mayor Mike Bloomberg’s War on Big Ass Sodas, but it ended up just being a hilarious mash-up of cliches about how fat we are as a nation. Continue reading
Tonight I’m hitting you with a bunch of recent hip-hop releases. This mix is full of Nas, Common, Rick Ross and Wiz Khalifa — for no other reason than that they’ve all been putting out hot shit this summer. Mix and tracklist are after the jump. Enjoy. Continue reading
I’d like to teach the world to sing, in perfect harmony. I’d also like for people to stop being such filthy nasties on Craigslist. Personally, I think the possiblity of world peace brought on by our shared love of caramel-colored obesity juice is more likely.
So why don’t we embrace our trashy side and dig deep into the twisted cavern of human psychosis that is Craigslist. Let’s get to the fuckery!
Craigslost is NSFW. There are no obscene photos, however. Continue reading
