This link caused me some problems at work. Well, not really, but Ezzie forwarded it along and I just sat there in my office doing a poor job of concealing my laughter as people walked by, looking confused. What is it?

KICKED IN THE NUTS!!!

Once you piece together what/why they're doing it, it's even funnier...and in a surprisingly intelligent way. Ok, ready for more?

Interesting article about the pathetic reality behind North Korea. It's amazing how everyone just sits around and doesn't say anything about how shitty his country is...can't offend a crazy fucker who might have nukes.

North vs. South: can you tell which has a national lights-out curfew every night?

Occasionally Pitchfork serves its purpose: exposing me to music I'd otherwise never hear about. In this case it's French electronic impresario Vitalic, whose new album OK Cowboy supposedly came out last week but isn't at Newbury Comics, nor did I see it available as a US release on amazon.com. But on to the music:

Vitalic / My Friend Dario
This song punches you in the face, then waits until you've staggered back to your feet and drop kicks your sorry ass into a garbage can. All of Vitalic's music is completely sythesizer-derived, but this one has a very guitar-ish feel. For more stuff look here and here.

I really liked the Game's "Hate It or Love It," but this re-worked version for Mary J. Blige's album just doesn't measure up. I love the sample they use in this song, but all the self-referential shit is just so fucking lame.
