Last week at their sold-out show at Mississippi Studios AgesandAges had a little surprise in store for the crowd. No, not the confetti shower (although that was nice, it felt like Rip Taylor was in the balcony). Instead the band premiered the Alicia Rose-directed video for “Navy Parade.” The song is an interesting choice for […]

Grails – “Daughters of Bilitis” Video
Even if the “courts” and their “laws” say I am no longer allowed to blog about mannequin erotica—or go within 500 feet of the Macy’s display window—I’m still blogging about this Grails video for “Daughters of Bilitis.” Using altered footage from French director Just Jaeckin (even his name sound dirty) this NSFW-ish video features plenty […]

The New Thermals Video Is Fun to Watch
Here’s the new Thermals video, directed by Portland filmmaker Lance Bangs and shot using some of the very last Kodachrome film in existence.

Best Damn Yamasa Soy Sauce Commercial EVER!!!
As I wandered into the Toyota waiting room today to set up shop on my laptop with their free wi-fi, I spotted a TV. I haven’t had cable for a couple of months now, and as a HUGE fan of TV this has been difficult at times. And as fans of TV who don’t have […]

The Decemberists Join Team Coco
The Decemberists made their first—of many—appearances to drum up support for their forthcoming LP, The King Is Dead, by stopping by the freshly curtained set of Conan last night.

Your Daily Bummer
This is the most insane thing I think I’ve ever seen. After this racist white woman in Massachusetts hits this poor USPS worker with her mail, she continues on with a very racist rant. Oh, and after all this, the postal worker was fired. INSANE. Via Perez Hilton
