Miss Piggy feat. Dr. Teeth and The Electric Mayhem - Fuck the Pain Away (Peaches cover)

OK, don’t even try to tell me that this puppet/hip-hop jam mash-up video trend is getting old. For real. I still watch Bert and Ernie doing M.O.P.’s Ante Up at least five times a week. Piggy’s facial expressions are what make this one worthwhile.

Empire of the Sun - Walking On A Dream

Sometimes I feel like I should just directly reblog Cam Lindsay’s Click Hear column on Exclaim.ca on a daily basis. So much quality!

Today he’s posted another doozy. Lindsay calls Walking On A Dream “a delicious homage to new wave - from the video’s Adam Ant get-ups and Duran Duran flash to the gorgeous synergy running through the simple combination of a drum machine, lush synths and unfussy guitar strums.” Be sure to take a peek at the review page for the aforementioned video and a truly awesome Dune-esque band poster.

Visual Migraine… Visually

It’s hard to explain the experience of a visual migraine. If you’re a sufferer, as I am, it’s kind of nice to have this Flash-based visual aid to show your friends who think you’re nuts. Click through for the psychedelic animated goods.

This is the closest thing to a “diet” that I follow. Notice the big chunk of the pyramid devoted to olive oil. My mother buys olive oil by the gallon when she cooks for our family and I’m known to drizzle it on anything and everything. I wish it were a more acceptable condiment. Like next to the ketchup, little packets of oil. Yum!

NYT

I may try this.

Finally a food pyramid that hasn’t passed through the hands of the meat and dairy marketing boards before publishing! If this were the chart being pushed on everyone in North America, it might even have an effect on the big-bonededness epidemic.

Sunglasses Porn: “Ciccio” by Retrosuperfuture

Daaaaaaaaaaaaaaamn! Them shades is tight. And there are so many more rad models on the Retrosuperfuture blog. I don’t even want to know how much they cost… OK fine, I kind of do. And I may or may not have looked up retailers in the Toronto area last night.

Bruce Lee a Symbol of Unity in Bosnia

The town of Mostar in southern Bosnia has erected a golden statue of Bruce Lee. Apparently the kung-fu star is seen as an inspiration to the still deeply-divided Croat and Bosniak inhabitants.

Luna (my lady friend) and I are leaving next Friday on a vacation that will take us through Mostar, among other spots in Bosnia, Croatia and Germany. Euro-trip plus wacky ninja statue photo-op? Outstanding.

Muppet Show to return to TV after 27 years

This would be fantastic!!

Best. News. Evar.

Excellent. My only concern is the potential for being annoyed by voice actors doing a bad job of imitating the characters’ original voices.

Billy Mitchell: World Pac-Man Champion, Kind of a Douche

After seeing The King of Kong, it’s really hard to get Billy Mitchell, Billy Mitchell’s ego, and Billy Mitchell’s haircut out of your head. Dude is mesmerizing.

For the truly entranced, there’s more Billy lore to sink your teeth into. Check out Joshua Bearman’s nine-page Harper’s piece on Mitchell and his Pac-Man career [PDF].

The Last Guy Everywhere
(AKA Some Sony PS3 Game Thingy That Makes Very Little Sense)

Friends, I know what you’re thinking — “Hey, I really wish there was an online game that turns webpages into levels in which I can move a little dude around and save tiny pixel people from being stranded and/or being eaten by zombies.”

And I have some great news for you. Your wish has come true. As the intro video puts it, “You can make all sites PS3s! All you need to do is input URL.”

Now go. Go and save the internet!

Richard Dawkins reads his email

This should be a regular feature on The Daily Show or something. Jesus-fuelled hate speech from southerners is the funniest thing ever when read calmly aloud in Dawkins’ crisp Oxford accent.

TV On The Radio - Golden Age

This isn’t exactly breaking news, but incredibly popular Brooklyn “indie” (ha!) group TV On The Radio have a new album coming out on September 23. It’s called Dear Science.

Also not really news: “Golden Age” proves, yet again, that these guys are so far beyond their peers on so many levels — songwriting, instrumentation, and just plain originality. Listening to this track kind of makes me hate all other music for its relative lack of anything new or interesting.
