These dudes be DIRTY. And they’re down with the mothafuckin’ Death Set.

New Music! M.I.A. feat. Blaqstarr - “S.U.S. (Save Ur Soul)”
The song samples Tom Waits’s “Way Down In The Hole” — better known as The Wire’s theme song.

Reblogged due to my love for the original — and The Wire. If only the video was Omar dancing…
Charles is an 86-year-old Obama supporter and volunteer from Boulder, CO. He won a raffle to meet Barack at the rally in Denver on 10/26/08.
Caution: have some Kleenex handy.
You got to me, Charles. You really, really did.
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.

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!
