COOL ASS SITES

The above photo is an honest to God statue in Oslo, Norway. Over the next week I'll be featuring more bizarre, outlandish or just plain quirky statues from around the globe.

Okay, so if you're a regular reader of this blog you know how I strain and strive to find entertaining and informative sites to gobble up your precious time.

Well, today's post is well worth forwarding to friends and family. I encourage you to encourage them to read my labor of love (for what is a blogger without an audience?).

Seriously, I offer up a delicious dish of delectable links. Bon apetite!

1. The term "Mashup" was originally Jamaican meaning to break something. Today, it's used in reference to music and videos. Music mashups (or bastard pop) is a combination (usually by digital means) of music from one song with vocals from another. Mashup artists are constantly pushing the genre into new and exciting directions. Here's a bunch of Christmas mashups that will rock your world. It's called SANTASTIC.
2. Video Mashups are where multiple clips are edited together to create something new. If you've seen avalanche of mock movie trailers (The Shining as a heartwarming comedy or Sleepless In Seattle as a stalker flick) that have appeared on YouTube you know what I mean. Concrete Tv is a public access show in New York that features brilliantly constructed montages of violence, sex, softcore pornography, new video, and classic films. Unabashedly male in its tastes, it's also a masterful example of film editing as Concrete Ron juxtaposes shots from hundreds of movies to create a mesmerizing mashup of film sensationalism.
3. "Dialogue is what keeps the American system God-loving and anti non-God. It also keeps the anti-God loving non-Iraqi loving insurgent deniers able to voice their hideous so-called opinions over the American loving tolerant airways." Steve Martin gets political... sorta.
4. Sanjeev Upadhyay:"You are such a basted, you don't know, how do talk to any person. You are mental sick." Rishi Chadha: "Sentient has the money and muscle power to FUCK you in your back side so hard that your generations to come will be born defunct just the way you are mentally sick & defunct." It's an Indian flameware. Good to see employee-employer relations suck on the other side of the world too.
5. Superman is a dick!
6. My wife and I started taking yoga classes a few months ago. I can't wait until they teach us do stuff like this. (thanx Jeff Sherwood)
7. Ever feel like you need a song to properly express your feelings? Now you can. Here's a catchy little ditty I wrote for my neighbor.
8. You're lost in the woods. It's getting cold. All you've got is a chocolate bar and an empty Coke can. How do you stay warm? MacGuyver would know... and now you do too!
