The new LCD Soundsystem record is comically overrated but the cool remix site has offered at least one gem:

LCD Soundsystem / "North American Scum (Dunproofin's Not From England Either Remix)" (Karo with the find)

The always awesome Tiff Needel tries to contain his excitement

My two favorite sports cars are the McLaren F1 LM and Ferrari Enzo, so yes, I'm extremely jealous of this random dude who has both. Tiff Needel, host of Fifth Gear, is my favorite car guy so I'm happy to see him flog these cars a bit on public roads. It should be noted that to pull of this ownership combination you need more than just $5 or $6 million. While 349 Enzos have been produced, the Le Mans variant of the McLaren F1 seen here was built only five times, with three coming in the awesome "papaya orange" color (the other two were ordered by the Sultan of Brunei in black with stripes).

Here's a pretty compelling argument for seeing Ferrell's new figure skating flick Blade of Glory:

If you've seen one Will Ferrell movie, you can probably see his latest, Blades of Glory, in your head right now. Ferrell plays Chazz Michael Michaels, a sex-addicted alcoholic ex-figure-skating champ who bottoms out when he vomits inside a foam mascot head while on the ice during a children's skating revue and is redeemed when he becomes part of history's first male-male pairs skating team. "The part was written for a young Martin Landau," says Ferrell. "It's a script that's been around for 30 years, just waiting for its time. That time is now."

No Frontin' hasn't posted in a while but he does have a pretty great comedy sketch posted at the moment.

My Bucks are languishing near the bottom of the lottery right now, so every loss at least provides the benefit of bringing us closer to a better draft pick. While I feel alright about the promotion of Larry Krystkowiak to head coach, this is clearly a lost season, especially now that Bogut and Villanueva are officially out for the rest of the year.

Assuming Oden and Durant both come out (not guaranteed) and go 1-2 (guaranteed if the come out) it leaves a bunch of nice but not sure-fire guys. As much as it might spell an end to CV's future as a Buck, we could use a defensive power forward to complement Bogut, and with Al Horford, Brandan Wright, Julian Wright, and Joakim Noah available. I'm personally on the Horford bandwagon at the moment, but another intriguing guy is 7 foot Chinese prospect Yi Jianlian.
