Hopefully this isn't an ad for some upcoming tv show. Im not sure exactly what it is, bit its adorable and touching and as I was walking around times square... it was nice to see something with a beautiful and simple message. What do you think its for?

This bodegga is either lost in translation or making a pathetic attempt to offer multi taskers a broad range of services.

Like everyone else, I'm waiting for the day to arrive when Avril's "Girlfriend" will grow old. Days go by and I still can't get enough of it. Today I came across the "worldwide" release of the single which includes 8 versions of the song in different languages including Italian, French, and Mandarin. Here is the Spanish one! It's too fucking funny. And also, here are the chords. I'm predicting this to be the new Since You Been Gone, so start recording your own versions now. Ya hear me Ted Leo? i may post my own [...]

Rach's Story A few years ago I worked part time in a resturaunt. Everyone was really friendly but there was one guy who I became completely smitten with. He was funny, he was charming, and rediculously attractive. One night after work we went to a club. We were standing at the bar when he leaned in and kissed me. It was the most amazing kiss ever, I just melted. A few nights later I was in a bar with my mates and I saw him. A smile spread across my face. As I went over to say hi, [...]

If nothing is everything, I had it all... Apparently J Records held a contest to commission a video for Pearl Jam's "Gone." This was the winning entry, a beautiful video filmed in New Orleans' ninth ward, September 2006.

Chimpanzee that! It's Monkey News. While Ricky, Stephen, and Karl are away, I thought I'd share this increadable and adorable video of a chimp and a doggy teaming up to show some japanese kids how to exercise! enjoy.

The Upwelling were featured on Spin.com this week! (click for the article and mp3 downloads) If you haven't listened to their new single(?) "Love Is Dead," it's time to give these guys a second look. This band has the potential to be the next super-rock group. Every move they make seems to be in that direction. They are on tour right now, and if the pop progression and melodic lyrics of "Love Is Dead" reach out and connect with you, I'd say it's time to see them live. [...]

if you are going to coachella can you get me a poster? It looks like it's gonna be rad. Here is a sneak preview:

Mike Doughty is involved in a new project called PASS THE MIKE with Mike Campbell (The Heartbreakers) on guitar; Mike Mills (R.E.M.) on bass, guitar and keys; Mike Portnoy (Dream Theater) on drums; and Mike Watt (Minutemen, fIREHOSE) on bass and backing vocals. The band is currently talking with labels about a possible fall 2007 release. String arranger Mike Narr described it from the studio last week: "If you took the kind of jazz they play on the Weather Channel out to the alley and beat the hell out of it with a whiskey bottle, and [...]
