Here's a great great great great video of Kevin Federline (for the gossip-challenged, that's Britney Spear's husband) listening to his song "PopoZao" and just totally getting down.
The only thing I could legitimately compare this to is the proud look on a monkey's face as it throws its fresh poo around the room. And trust me, I am complimenting this song by comparing it to fresh poo.

The Texas Congressional Race
This just in from the front lines of the Congressional race in Texas.
Subgenus: Sir, what do you make of the ethics issues facing Tom DeLay in this race, and do you think that this is enough to keep him from getting the nod from Republicans?
Average Joe Texas Voter: Ethnics? Ethnics??? Tommy doesn't have no ethnics issues, he's a good ol' Texas boy born and bred. Honestly I don't know what all the hubbub is about. Now that Bar-ack Osama guy, now he's got some dang ethnics issues. What the hell is he anyway?
Subgenus: [dumbfounded] Well there you have it. Texas voters are not concerned in the least. As for the rest of us - time to move to Newfoundland.

Is it just me or is one of my best friends working his way through Hollywood Week on American Idol? Go Frank! Sing the one about your balls.

Some Awesome New Tunes
Being a music lover, one of my favorite things ever is to happen on something totally fresh (at least to me) and be able to share it with others. It's honestly been a while since I've been able to do that, so I'm really juiced about being able to throw two out there at once:
Lampshade - So if you put James Brown on acid (that old sunshine shit, not the weak stuff they give the kids these days) and threw him in the studio with the Avalanches and The Funky Meters, then had DJ Shadow do some post-production mixing, I think you'd come up with something sounding like Lampshade. This music is just dripping with funk - I actually had to hold my nose a few times. If you've ever thrown on an album and had the sudden urge to lean waaaaay back in your chair, throw one arm over the back of the chair and slowly nod your head while saying "yeeeeeeaaaaah man" - then this is an album for you.
Asamov - Some really sick shit that got me really excited from the first few bars I heard. Listening to these guys reminded me a lot of the first time the J-5 hit my aural cavities. Very similar in terms of overall feel as well as rhyming style - I call it an analogue to Oceans 11, you're not getting any heavy knowledge from the music, but listening to it feels damn good and you'll be glad you did it when it's all over. The beats and samples they use also remind me a lot of the Dilated Peoples, and while their rhyming skills may not be quite up to the snuff of The Roots, they are pretty friggin jazzy.
I'd really encourage any music lovers to check both of those out. Both can be downloaded off iTunes (Asamov / Lampshade), or you can buy the Lampshade CD from Vinyl Republik and the Asamov CD off Amazon. You can also hear samples of Lampshade on the Vinyl Republik site and samples of Asamov on their MySpace site.

Brokeback to the Future
For those of you out there that saw the acclaimed hit "Brokeback Mountain" but thought it lacked something. Lacked that... well, you couldn't quite put your finger on it... wait, no, you could put your finger on it exactly: the movie lacked time travel. What is a beautiful gay love affair - or a love affair of any type for that matter, without time travel? Well, for those of you waiting for that little extra bit to set "Brokeback" really over the top, here you go - "Brokeback to the Future"
