Needs vs. Wants

Just because you don't actually need something doesn't mean you shouldn't have it. Sometimes it's the little things in life that get us through the tough times. Although I agree that these items are not something any human could actually need, they are quite valuable nonetheless. So check out 10 Things You Don't Need. If you had to pick just one, which would you buy?
I've already decided...

Kanye West for President

After catching Kanye's mind-shattering performance with Daft Punk at the Grammys, there is no doubt left in my mind that he is THE entertainer of the new millenium. The man is headlining at Bonnaroo! I can't even imagine how much fun that show would be. And now this new video for "Flashing Lights"? You've got to be kidding me. Kanye's on fire.



If you haven't already heard, her name is Rita G. Check it out at rita-g.com, where she'll even sell you her worn panties for the low, low value price of $24.95.

Recent Discoveries

Vampire Weekend's full length debut album is the most exciting new music I've heard so far this year. They're from New York City, where they formed the band while attending Columbia University. Although they are the darlings of the blog community, there are those out there who don't appreciate the tunes. I recently heard this joke: "Why are they called Vampire Weekend? ... Because they suck."
I disagree, and I appreciate their original sound. Check out this clip from 6/17/07, Roosevelt Island, Manhattan. It's how real bands get their start. It reminds me of my buddy Verno and I back in high school, only we actually did suck.

My Favorite Day of the Year

Super Bowl Sunday only means one thing in 2008 - Puppy Bowl IV. Check out some clips from last year's action, and then tune in to Animal Planet from 3pm-3am for the most aniticipated TV program of the season! Be sure to check out this year's Starting Lineup.



New Crowes!

Wow! Listen to that slide guitar by Luther Dickinson (of the North Mississippi All-Stars). He seems to fit in perfectly with the new Black Crowes lineup. Follow this link to check out the new track from the forthcoming album, Warpaint. It appears as though the "Most Rock n Roll Rock n Roll Band in the World" is about to deliver exactly what we've come to expect once again - straight up bluesy classic rock music.
Only 30 days until the new album drops on 3/4/08!
