Oh, Kanye

Here's Kanye's first single off of his new album, "Something Something I'm Really Full of Myself". Actually, scratch that. Here's Kanye West talking over a perfectly good Daft Punk song.

There are fluctuating opinions on "what's cool and what's not" on the internet. Pretty much any blogger can say something is cool, and have yet another decry their opinion in the comments below. So what defines cool? I'll sit here all day, pounding on my keyboard about things that I think are relevant, and go home to find that none of my roomates know what I'm even talking about. I had to actually explain to them who Jim Morrison was last night. Seriously.
Nowadays, for a music magazine to seem subversive, it just has to have someone like platinum-selling Amy Winehouse on the cover and have her talk about her drinking habits. For a women's magazine to sell issues, it has to talk about sex, men, and sex with men. Men's magazines? You know the drill. What happened to strong, upstanding influences on Americans? Why, as a nation, do we choose to read more articles on Paris Hilton than on the war in Iraq? I admit that yes, I am one of those people -- but how did I get that way?
This brings me to my point; it's slightly old news (old being like, a month) but I had always intended on writing a post about The Gossip's Beth Ditto. She appeared naked on the cover of NME, Britain's most simultaneously loved and hated music magazine, to prove a point: that being big isn't that big of a deal. People offered mixed reactions on it, from "she's doing it for the attention" to "OMG I lurrrve big lesbians!". Judge for yourself... and here's the video for "Listen Up". It's totally worth a listen.



Finally, here's an ad for Pepsi that the Black Eyed Peas made an entirely new song for. What is up with these people hanging out in a condemned building?! I know that if I started falling through floors, I'd try my best to stay still. Some dude died on Desperate Housewives from that shit. Nah uh.

Domo

Here's one of a million "The Office" mashups, this time mixed with Styx's "Mr. Roboto".

It's awesome.
