FACT:
Ali blogged about Empire of the Sun a long ass time ago. Like Passion Pit, I have very mixed feelings about these bands that sound like MGMT, but are not as talented. I wanna say it's the Joy Division Effect where one bands sound gets ripped by a thousand others, and it's just not as good and sure as hell isn't original.
Needless to say, the imagery of Empire of the Sun is bad ass. I am reminded of Where the Wild Things Are, meets something Jim Henson/David Bowie based. Enjoy the video, and hit up this track Walking on a Dream remixed by Treasure Fingers. A little fruity, but a good song to listen to with your first gin & tonic of the night.

Zack Morris Returns!
FACT:
I love me some Saved By The Bell. I hammered the box sets too much in my early college days that I kind of lose attention when watching it now, but the idea and love will always be there.
Mark Paul Gossler was on Jimmy Fallon last night and pulled off the Morris. The full interview is here, on Hulu, and its worth watching. I think it was awesome that Mr. Gossler had no problem reliving the cheesiest best role that he will ever play (and I really liked his character in Dead Man On Campus.) It is almost astonishing to see how little Gossler has aged, and i personally hope that this will flourish...Saved By The Bell Movie circa 2010? The Papers Josh, where are the papers?

Trailer Park Boys
FACT:
My brother turned me way on to this show called Trailer Park Boys. Its fucking awesome. Its a Canadian show that centers around three friends that live and act nuts in a trailer park (i know, intelligent premise, but it's great.)
When I first saw it I thought that it had to be new because it appeared to have a few influences. It is filmed like a mock reality (instantly thought the office) and so much crazy shit happens that it has a Reno 911 feel to it also. Then I noticed that the girl in the trailer park is Ellen Page at like age eleven, so it was made way before those other shows.
Check it out if you like action comedies about living the Canadian dream. Selling dope, fighting over cheeseburgers and tricking the police. ah.

Secret Handshakes
FACT:
I am not a big fan of tattoos, but I love toys and collectibles. Besides just admitting there that I am more of a geek than I am some tough inked out guy, I was browsing Rotofugi.com for what new vinal is in (not records, but that came later.) I came across these gems and feel they are true works of art.
The bust and drawings were made by two artists, Brian Morris and Mitch O'Connell. Their work reminds me of tats on a really fucking cool biker, and to me, have a ton of edge (One of Mitch's side projects is designing tattoos.)
Click below and check out the gallery. buy a $500 drawing, or settle for a sticker. Live it up girl.

Oh wow!! American Idol is Awesome!!!
FACT:
FALSE, American Idol is a terrible show. I basically watch a little bit of every episode so that when I talk to my mom we have something a little upbeat to discuss. With that said, tonight's the finale and it's up to Adam and Chris for the final vote!!! Man typing that made me feel a little like Seacrest... and I kinda want to stop there...but i cant.
I would bet my life (but seriously, anyone that wants to throw down any cash) that Adam takes the crown. I say this not cause he looks a little like a fruity Clark Kent and actually has a good high voice, but he's got that gay vote on lock. Needless to say, I think this time around it is more about voting for a gay dude, or a less talented John Mayer look-a-like. Which sucks that it doesn't come down to complete talent, but hey, what can you do. I will be shocked if Chris wins, and following it will be the rise of Middle America.
I couldn't post something almost pro American Idol without a few pokes at Ryan Seacrest. What a jack ass.

Liquid Lamp
FACT:
I had a ton of lava lamps in my younger days, and it was awesome.
The white on white one would look sick on a dark wall. That's my opinion, I mean fact...yesss. But for $189, I think ill pass or wait for Urban Outfitters to sell it and play the shit out of it.

Awkward Family Photos .com
FACT:
If you were to visit Nance in Apple Valley, she could bust out some pretty awesome glamor shots from my youth. The worst one I can recall was me at age four, my brother, and maroon crushed velvet jumpsuits, with an added star wipe of our faces in each corner. Straight dreadful, and as much as i want to go home and look for it to scan on here...I think I'll pass.
AwkwardFamilyPhotos.com is a site that finds the worst family portraits and posts others that are sent in. Reading the captions is pretty much like a good issue of VICE. So either for a quick laugh, or if you choose to make public the amazing ideas and photography your parents had, add that shit today.
