Wack Lyric of the Day, 4-1-10

(I wish Usher’s All-Star Game outfits were April Fool’s jokes too)

“Honey got a booty like pow, pow, pow/
Honey got some boobies like wow, oh, wow”

— Usher, “OMG”

What’s that you say?  A song titled “OMG” has wack lyrics?  No way.  Don’t believe it.

Um, the Canon 7D looks better than real life

Posted in Art, Goods, Videos on November 25th, 2009 by Hyphen

The new Canon 7D camera apparently shoots incredible video.  Peep this clip from aspiring filmmaker Brandon Moza walking around Vancouver, set to Radiohead’s “Go Slowly.”

It’ll cost you a pretty penny…emphasis on the pretty.

R.I.P. Michael Jackson

Posted in Artists, Movies, Music Videos on June 25th, 2009 by Hyphen

I was following along on Twitter as the news broke this afternoon, and I’ve had a lot of thoughts the rest of the day about Mike’s passing.  Ultimately, it’s a sad, sad story, but I hope people will remember him by separating the music from the person.  It’s clear that MJ was severely troubled and was probably mentally ill his entire life.  Even with all the craziness, he managed to release timeless music that will always evoke special feelings for all of us.

For this post, I decide to toss up the short film, Captain Eo, that Mike did for Disneyland in 1986.  I remember going to see it with my dad and between the movie, the music, and the 3-D glasses, there was nothing cooler at the time.  I rocked that Eo shirt for so long hahaha.  If you’ve never seen it, there’s no way it will mean as much to you now, but if you do remember seeing it in your youth, you know.

R.I.P. to the most famous person in the entire world.  It’s not often that you say that.  His music will live forever.

Olivia Munn FTW

Posted in Art, Random Ish on June 23rd, 2009 by Hyphen

I know TAOD is generally PG, but Olivia Munn’s non-nude (booooo) Playboy spread is now online and it’s so necessary.  See the rest of the pictures here.  I think we need to get Munn on SNSS someday.

Tokyo Gundam

Posted in Art on June 13th, 2009 by Hyphen

The Japanese have built a 59 foot replica of the RX-78-2 Gundam battle suit in Odaiba (Tokyo) and it’s just about the coolest thing ever.

More dope night pictures here and some clearer day shots here.  Apparently they’re taking it down at the end of the summer, but they should leave that thing up forever.

Wack Lyric of the Day, 10-31-08

moron

Again, not a lyric today, but this is rather fitting for Halloween since I can’t imagine a quote scarier than this right now.  Toure recently asked Soulja Boy,

“What historical figure do you most hate?” He was stumped. I said, “Others have said Hitler, bin Laden, the slave masters…” He said, “Oh wait! Hold up! Shout out to the slave masters! Without them we’d still be in Africa.”

My jaw, at this point, was on the ground.”We wouldn’t be here,” he continued, having no idea how far in it he’d stepped, “to get this ice and tattoos.”

Wow.  Apparently Souja Boy is going as a moron tonight (and every other day of his life).
