So I’m no military expert, but from these two videos, I’m not sure how we are still fighting the war in the Middle East. It’s US troops conditioning Iraqi and Afghani soldiers/cops. Had no idea how tough a jumping jack could be. The Afghanis don’t much surprise me, I’ve seen pushups like that before at north avenue.

From GeekStir.com:
“Abusive Fathers Kick Ass” and “Kill ’em all, let Rod sort em out” (with a picture of Rod Stewart) were t-shirts made by comic Brendon Walsh as heard on the recent Doug Loves Movies.

Twisted Cake
After a very long time since whenever their last visit to Chicago, Cake playing the House Of Blues on December 14th. They are playing Q101’s Twisted Christmas, or just Twisted. Cake, who isn’t played much on Q101 normally, is in the middle night by itself because Twisted’s normal lineup of crap hard rock bands won’t mesh very well. Tickets go on sale Friday; anyone in?

While looking for more of Kanye’s Good Friday songs and attempting to watch his 30min Runaway video, I came accross Fake Shore Drive and a this post. Star Wars things always seem to be worth a post (and this is my current favorite R. Kelly song):
On the topic of Hip-hops, did anyone know that a Joe Cocker song was the main sample used for Tupac’s California Love?

Hype-ractive
Man cannot live off his Ipod alone. Every once in awhile I like to checkout what is going on with the Hype Machine. While I was going to try to string a post together with a list of things that I found on NotCot.org, like this Ninja Turtle Van Remake or a wonderfully animated video about legalizing pot, HypeMachine led me to a post about a recent Jools Holland show. The post features Aloe Blacc, who I have enjoyed ever since I heard his “I Need a Dollar” song, Neil Diamond’s Solitary Man, the Black Key’s cover of “She Said, She Said” (an awesome cover that probably won’t be played on the show).
Most importantly, Paul McCartney will be playing Jools Holland to promote his Band on The Run Reissue, (which is awesome enough) but the article lists a song he did with the Blockheads for an Ian Dury Tribute Album. I only know Ian Dury from his song “Sex and Drugs and Rock’n’Roll,” but isn’t that enough? While he may not have coined the term, that song is fantastic. It’s a lot of ramble just to have the excuse of posting this video:
