Okay, I know this has been around awhile, but I told my friend Courtney about it and thought I should put it up here. This video demonstrates a great way at attacking a larger subject, in this case how the majority of food in america is processed. It follows two cartoon characters Leo and Moophius patterend after the popular movie the Matrix. But our characters are entering “The Meatrix.” You can follow the cartoon characters and take the “Red” pill and open your eyes to what is happening to the food you are eating. You can also ignore this by taking the blue pill while wondering why every couple months we have some sort of outbreak in our produce supply – Lettuce, sprouts or tomatoes. If you would like to know more visit the Meatrix.com to really sink your teeth into this subject. (oh that’s terrible.)

Here are all of the new MTV Promos featuring Death Cab for Cutie in one place. I think these are fresh, fun and they showcase one of the best bands out there. Enjoy!

Sometimes when old ideas come back into new forms they’re cool, and sometimes they seem like a blatant attempt at cashing in on years gone by. This is a new usb drive created by Suck UK masquerading in the nostalgic wrappings of the classic mix tape. Does this new product recharge what was once a coveted and personalized vehicle of music exchange? Sadly no. I think it’s a cool idea, and they look great, and although it gets my nostalgic memories spinning at $40 bucks a pop, you have to be Richy Rich to be handing these out. One of the greatest things about mix tapes was that they were cheap. You could buy that five-pack of crappy tapes without covers that hung next to the cash register for a dollar. Maybe less. If you were a real snob you could get the two-pack of the high-fidelity tapes that came with the covers and stickers for the sides too. Yes these new usb drives are high tech, and the packaging is awesome but they take a nose-dive at the practicality level. For a present okay, but to use these in the same way as you made mix tapes back in the day? No way. Also they only hold 60 min worth of music, which is kitsch – but I was more of a 90 min guy anyway. So when I make mixes, as I still do, I stick to the standard CD, (they’re super cheap) and then design my own covers. They are personalized, portable mixes of music for my friends. Kind of like mix tapes, remember those?

A funny commercial showcasing AMP energy drinks, and harnessing their power to escape a sad and pathetic life. This commercial shows you obviously need AMP to make it through the day. (Because you forgot coffee existed.) So the next time you wake up in a thong, like tomorrow, and you’re a guy, grab an AMP. Not only does it give you energy, it also erases your memories. (Because you forgot about alcohol.)
