Best mashup I've heard in a while - U2 vs. Skulldugery

This is cool. Bono says he's always wanted to write a song that was a hit on the dance floor. Little did he know he did already with "With or Without You." Very cool. Enjoy...

New Order - As it is When it Was - Live at the Hacienda

This is so cool. My favorite song from "Brotherhood." Never seen a live performance at the Hacienda, either. Whoever uploaded these to youtube is the best. Lots of music posts today. Enjoy...

New Order - Age of Consent - BBC Radio One

More New Order greatness. Another one of their best songs. Youtube is fantastic. My favorite part of this one is Barney getting pissed off becuase there's something wrong with the guitar. So he rips the cover off the mic. That'll show 'em.

Enjoy...

New Order - Temptation - 1984 BBC Radio One

Found these little gems on youtube. From a BBC Radio One Session in 1984. Temptation is definitely my favorite New Order song, probably my favorite song period. You gotta love too how Barney shows up in shorts and a muscle shirt. Enjoy...

Hilarious Lost tribute - Nobody's watching

Or go to nobodyswatching.tv

Do it! You wont' regret it.

Lost's best line this week

Said by Sawyer in a panicked but still trying to sound tough voice.

SAWYER: Did you just kill that bunny?

Awesome, it really just doesn't get any better than that.

Monday Night Football at Mo's

So I go to my local watering hole, Mo's Place (203 Culver Blvd. Playa del Rey. 310-822-6422) to watch Monday Night Football. Place was packed, as usual. The Bears won by one point in one of the weirdest games I've seen in a while. But the point is what happened after. Mo came out dressed as a penis clown with two sexy assistants to give away stereo systems etc. You got raffle tickets for each drink you bought that gave you a chance at the prizes. Some drunk guy showed up to yell at his girlfriend, first in the bar, then after he was kicked out, through the window. I asked her what his deal was and all I got was, "He's psycho." Great, you must have made a lovely couple.

There was also a woman trying to have sex with a guy that wasn't really interested and amidst all the chaos, this:





The girl in the silver was stunning. And then there was this guy, stunning in a whole different way. Drunkenly yelling for a "boobie hat" which he eventually got from Mo and is wearing proudly below:



I got a chicken which is also some sort of slingshot weapon, thrown to me by the girl in silver. Very strange night and everyone was about ten years older than me. Felt like I had walked into a David Lynch film.

The Beach - as American as it gets

Venice Beach - more American than baseball, apple pie, and mom combined. Speaking of baseball, Go Tigers. They're going to sweep either the Mets or Cards, whichever of those losers get in. Look at this shot and then try to find me a more American spot on the planet. If you don't get in the ocean at least once a week, you're helping the terrorists win. Hating the beach is unamerican. So go to the beach and pick up your trash. Do it.

New Sporting Event

I really think this will catch on. Truck v. Truck. To the death. As you can see, the place is packed. I think the grey one won. Can't remember as I was so drunk on mojitos. Awesome.

Accidental shot

I think I took this photo by mistake as I was picking up my phone to dial after surfing El Porto. Don't remember shooting it. But I like the composition so here it is. I call it El Porto bathroom. Enjoy...

Al Gore stays cool

So I saw Al Gore at a book signing a couple weeks ago. Signing copies of his book "An Inconvenient Truth." Well, the only inconvenient truth I encountered was the crazy witch in the pink wouldn't let him sign the book the way I wanted him to. How hard would it have been to write, "Stay Cool, Al Gore" That would have been awesome, putting the lie to his whole global warming propaganda. But this woman wouldn't let me. So I declare war on her.



One other thing I noticed is that Al Gore attracts a lot of hot women, and no, I don't mean the humorless moron in the pink shirt. But check out the girl about to hand him her book. Lucky Al. I've got to get into politics. I think I'll run for dogcatcher. Baby steps, Rome wasn't built in a day etc.

The Nipple - Great Artwork #2

Another Warhol documentary inspired work. We called this one the nipple, even though that's not close to what it is.

After Dinner - Great Art Part 1

So my girlfriend and I were watching an Andy Warhol documentary last night and decided to create some genius artwork of our own. This is the first entry. It is called "AFTER DINNER"

Tourist or not?

New game. Four photos, lots of people. One is a Venice honey (classic style of cute girl that only cities like Venice has) Another is the best kind of street vendor (a freaky one) All the rest are tourists. You decide. Post answers in comments




Okay, I've divided them into groups. If you can tell me what the vendor is selling, you get bonus points.

Venice

This photo is all you really need to say about it. It rules. Late afternoon wandering around. Bet you never knew a camera phone could look so good, especially after looking at a few of the other photos on this blog.

Awesome.

All I saw at a Dodger game

So I went to Saturday's Dodger game and this is all I saw. Just as blurry too. Sat in the bleachers and the crowd was more interested in hitting these 99 cent store beach balls around than the game. Dodgers lost 9-3 but I have no idea how because I didn't see much of it. Grown men running through the bleachers, diving in front of little kids to smash the beach ball back up into the stands.

There was a pretty cool little girl though that kept stealing the ball from the ushers and bashing it back into the stands. All in all, pretty fun but guys kept showing up on base and I had no idea how they got there.

And yes, the Dodgers are going to the World Series where they will lose to the mighty Tigers.

Awesome.

These guys

rule. Living the American dream. I've lived in and around Venice for ten years now. They are out everyday with this cart, full of recyclable cans, bottles, whatever else, These guys must be making a mint. They rule. Plus, they've got plans. Whenver I pass by them, they're cooking up some other get rich quick scheme. Goes to show you what you can do when you make the decision to pull yourself up by your bootstraps.

Awesome.

My new favorite shop

This is my new favorite shop, solely because of the owner in the brown shirt. She was incredibly cute. If I hadn't been such a chickenshit with the camera phone, you could see her face and get the full effect of her beauty. Oh well, at least you can go shop there.

People living in shipping containers - Why won't the Dems allow the tax cuts we need?

So a friend of mine just told me she has to live in a shipping container. Her plight brings tears to my eyes. Someone told her that these two photos:




Will end up looking like this:



I didn't have the heart to tell her she'd been had. Hope is supposed to be valuable for some people. Maybe she's one of them. But seriously, a shipping container? Send donations.

Venice revival

This was a weird thing a few weekends ago. Several fresh faced young Christians decided to hold a church service just off the boardwalk on a SATURDAY afternoon. Could hear the music for blocks and blocks. The homeless people were really into it. My personal favorite is the guy or girl with the big afro in the front row.

Bullfight

So I went to a bullfight in Tijuana this past weekend. Pretty awesome. Did the full Hemingway, drank a lot, cheered the bulls. No one got gored though. Maybe next time.

This is on my camera phone. The fifth kill.

Robert Redford pleads to save the arctic

Great fantasy football site

If you're sick of corporate crap from yahoo and espn, try this league out.

www.fleaflicker.com

all the stuff you pay for on other sites for free. I just switched my league there.

Power to the people... or something.

I just watched The Ring

and now I'm never going to watch television again. Just to make sure I never see that video. I don't want to die in seven days. Oh crap, I actually saw the video during the movie.

There may only be another seven days of Michael Yass. I've got to go find Naomi Watts to find some answers.

Another perfect combination: Chimp + roller skates

Here is the last installment of my chimp trilogy. Enjoy and as always...

SCREW KALFUS!!!!!

A bookmark just for me

Check it out if you want but this is an experiment with using the blog as a bookmark backup.

Shut up Kalfus!!!!

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K6CvF7a2hUc

Monkey + Mirror = comedy

Like chocolate and peanut butter, I have discovered another near perfect combination. Check it out. You have to love the canned laughter after he sees himself. Who set that up? I'm guessing Kalfus, the bastard. Hey, Kenny boy, you don't need to pipe in the laughs with monkeys, they're inherently hilarious. But how could I expect you to understand that, you're just a dumbass thief.

Awesome

Mikey, the chimp plays poker

This guy is good. Could probably beat Ken Kalfus, the bastard. Get out of my collective unconscious, Kalfus!!!

War On Ken Kalfus starts today

For stealing my idea from the collective unconscious. I have had this same idea since 1997 and it was sent around Hollywood in 2001, as my extensive documentation will prove. This bastard comes along, writes a version of it in 2003 called "The Moment They Were Waiting For", which gets bought in 2006. The bastard. He hasn't heard the last of Michael Yass, mark my words. I will not rest until his crimes are brought to light.

Here's the story...

These guys are a menace to all that is good in the world

The Neistat Brothers

And what is Hilary Clinton thanking them for anyway?

Condoleeza Rice - Secretary of State or--

SECRETARY OF SEXY!!!

Seriously, people. I think she needs a new title. If I knew which photos I could and couldn't legally use on this website, I'd put one up to prove it. If anyone can clue me in on that, I would appreciate it. Meanwhile, consider changing her title.

Awesome.

I am officially described in an internet forward

I'm not sure how I feel about this but a friend of mine sent me this with the caption "This is you." And the horrible thing is he's right. So go ahead, check it out, stare into my heart.

Here are the directions for staring into the essence of my existence. Enjoy...

FIRST, CLICK THE PICTURE, THEN--

If your eyes follow the movement of the rotating pink dot, the dots will remain only one color, pink. However if you stare at the black "+" in the center, the moving dot turns to green. Now, concentrate on the black "+" in the center of the picture. After a short period, all the pink dots will slowly disappear, and you will only see only a single green dot rotating. It's amazing how our brain works. There really is no green dot, and the pink ones really don't disappear.

Blogs I don't get

So I've been hitting the next blog button for a few days and I keep finding these weird blogs that are just one entry about some encyclopedia type topic, like Earthquakes, or the European Union. One entry, that's it and there's always about 13 or 14 comments all saying things like "Wow, that's great information, thanks a lot." But there's never anything new there. Haven't these people ever heard of Wikipedia? Why not just make this entry there, or add your info to that article.

Maybe they're just frustrated wikipedians that got their entries cut and this is their revenge.

This one defines traveling for you, in case you didn't know what it was.

http://travel-home.blogspot.com/

I saw one on the solar system, which just told us what planets were in it. Thanks, buddy. There seem to be a million of these. Somebody tell me the reason.

Profanity count - Bush - 3 Us - 0

So we've heard our beloved President use these profanities so far, "a**hole" he's given us the bird many times, and today it was, "Let's get ASSad to call Hezbollah and tell them to stop doing this sh**."

http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/americas/5188258.stm (Hat tip, Gandhi)

That's the transcript above. Everyone's all upset but I think he's right. Let Assad deal with it, he's been pretty reliable so far. A friend we can count on in times of trouble. Plus, Bush has more important work to do destroying the "Constitution" and turning the US into a third world slave state so me and my former associates at Enron can make some more cash money. Plus, I think one of those sweaters that Blair gave him was for me.

Awesome.

Pierzynski vs. Barrett

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0KFvW7ha2q0

AJ Pierzynski, another guy you want on your team. Always in the clutch plays, pissing people off. More sports violence, not sure what this blog is about yet, really but this may be it. This guy that made is video is more of a Cubs fan and Barrett is pretty cool too, you can't let yourself get shown up like that. You got to love Pierzynski trying to pump up the crowd after getting his face bashed in.

Why Darren McCarty is one of the best ever

This is fantastic. Red Wings vs. cursed Avs. McCarty shows us all how to play sports. I go through his camp and Zindane's I'm all set. First game since Lemieux's brutal hit on Draper. He'll never lead the league in goals but he's just a guy you want on your team. Don't understand? Watch and learn.

Gotta love how the music crescendos for McCarty's first hit on Clod Lemieux and then the lingering shot on Lemieux's blood staining the ice. Best rivalry ever. Bar none. Think you got a better one? Name it in the comments.

The real reason we should be talking about Zidane

Sure, this guy chose to end a brilliant career by blowing a gasket. Sure, maybe Materazzi called him the "Son of a terrorist whore." Big deal. Why is no one talking about what's really important? The guy dropped Materazzi with a brutal head butt! That's cool. The force he gets out of his forehead is amazing! I wish I could do that. I was going to attend his football camp but now forget it. I want to go to his head butt camp. Imagine the damage I could do at the bars if I could head butt like that.

Awesome.

I also like the despair in the French announcer's voice. "Mais, pourquoi? Mais pourquoi?" "But, why? But, why?" You don't get that kind of pathos from Costas or Joe Buck, do you?

Hey, look at this thing

Hang things in this game

Awesome. I just beat the high score... again. I rule. Go on, try to beat me.

My Equation proves that Detroit Tigers will win the Series this year

The Detroit Tigers are great and here' s why. Their last championship was in 1984, 22 years ago, and there is no one on their roster wearing #22. I have been using this formula for the past ten years and have won much cash because of it. Go ahead, check it out for yourself, every other team this year has a player wearing the number matching the number of years since the last championship. And no team to win in the modern era has had a player wear this number.

Strange, but true. Place your bets now.

World of Michael Yass launch a huge success
