Doot Do Da Loot Loot...



I bow down to the wonders of my lady lover Absquatulation for introducing me to perhaps one of the single most entertaining things I've seen since Tyra decided to do that episode about botched booty implants (the hilarious horrors!).

Apparently, Nardwuar the Human Serviette is kind of a big deal. Like, he's interviewed musical ICONS! Like Sonic Youth. And Too $hort. Also, other people who are not icons at all. People like The Killers. Anyway, this is a list of things about Nardwuar the Human Serviette that are really neat:

1. He is from Canada.
2. He got Vanilla Ice to do a really bad freestyle. And dance too.
3. He wears a very fresh plaid driving cap. With a pom-pom atop it.
4. He knows his way around a library better than that antisocial kid you roomed with Freshman year.
5. He is a menace with the mic. And by menace I mean that he jams it so far up everyone's face that he might as well start smacking them upside the head with it.

Nardwuar, you are officially more entertaining than Tyra's five head and bad weaves! And that speaks volumes in itself. Watch his interview with Pharrell and Shay below, it is phenomenal!

He Knows

I think I've mentioned it a couple of times on the good ol' blog here, but when I'm not writing about irrelevant things to distract you from your workday, I'm myself am working! And my 9 to 5 job is in the business of making movies.

I used to like my job. I used to like it a lot. But, like any job it gets boring if you don't have a real zest for it. So, I began to hate it. Hate it a lot. I think what put the nail in the coffin was Scary Movie 5. Srsly movie making business? Do I really want to work in an industry that thinks we need a Scary Movie 5? So, I started writing online. Partly because I love writing, but mostly because online is the only place that would accept my writing. So far, writing has been going pretty good. And in this future, there is no Scary Movie 5 looming in the distance. I still work in movie making, but the more I explore online, I realize that I want to make movies for the online set, about the designers and the products and the bands that move my world.

Here's an interview with a guy that's totally inspiring me to achieve the above mentioned. Levi Maestro has been producing his own online show Maestro Knows for 2 seasons now, and it's kind of a big deal. A really big deal. Because he basically films his life, his skating, even his eating. And he edits it himself and makes it look REALLY good. I guess the best way to put is that watching his show makes want to make my own show, and makes me miss In N Out Burgers really badly.

Watch StreetLevel's interview with Maestro below. He knows!
