You Vote – JCVD vs. Buakaw

Who gets the most gigil (the only way to define that word is that it’s the Tagalog word for the rage you get inside like when you see a baby or puppy so cute you want to choke it or slam it on the ground or squeeze it to death)? What say you? VS

Frick Park Market

Mac Miller has been getting a lot of play these days. I think I’ve even heard him on Power 106 recently. That’s kind of a trip. Anyway, here’s one of his tracks I thoroughly enjoy. Just one of those feel good head nodders.

David Choe for Facebook, Again

Apparently, the Zuckanator had David Choe bless the walls of Facebook’s new diggs just as he did back in 2006.  Here are two .gif’s of him doing so, courtesy of Upper Playground.  Enjoy. Have you ever seen Mr. Choe dance?  No?  Well, here it is.  I wonder if this is foreshadowing to his sequel to Dirty Hands.  Check the [...]

Only In Dreams – Rest Your Soul – David Sotelo

You told me to play this song at your funeral if you happen to die before me.  You told me this without even knowing it was gonna happen which is what trips me out the most.  Now, ever since then, I’ve sat down and played it every January 4th, for the past 6 years. I [...]

Levy Tran – If You Don’t Know, Now You Know.

So I stumbled upon this tattooed 29 year old Vietnamese American named Levy Tran a few months ago and thought I’d keep her a secret, but since half the world knows who she is now, I guess it makes sense to share her with you guys. She’s an aspiring embalmer, part-time student, part-time server, part-time [...]

KC Plank and Manny Plankuiao – “Planksters”

I’m not exactly sure what the hype is with planking, but apparently it’s gone world wide with many variations mimicking it (Owling, Tebowing, Batmanning).  People have even died from it, no joke.  Crazy, right? Anyway, I just found this while at work, so  I can’t listen to it, because I forgot my headphones in the [...]

Lauryn Hill’s “Ex-Factor” cover by Quadron

Quadron covered Lauryn Hill’s popular song, “Ex-Factor” while they were on tour in Vienna.  I think the reason it’s such a popular song, is the fact that we can all relate to it from some point or another in our past/current/future relationships. Check the pipes on Coco O.  Job well done, Quadron.

HAPPY HOLIDAYS, INDEED.

Kid Koala’s Space Cadet Headphone Concert

Kid Koala has been one of the most unique turntablists/dj’s I grew up listening to and loving. This event truly blew my mind when I encountered it, because it is such an original concept. A “quiet time” immersive headphone concert experience. The audience sits in inflatable space pods, listens through individual headphone systems as Kid [...]

Bloodbath – 2011 Fallen Night Collection

Our good friends of the Bloodbath Crew have come up with one of the dopest of the dope and creative-est of the creative lookbooks I’ve seen to date.  Now, don’t get me wrong, I love seeing hot babes and major hunks in lookbooks (for the ladies, of course), too, but this is straight up creative.
