Catch Up

Lebron James Pre Game Ritual 500x375 Catch Up

If you’ve been keeping up with me on Twitter you know I’ve been out of commission for the past week. Slowing down my blogging frenzy is not a common thing. Trust that if I do slow down for a period of time it’s because I’m drunk (although I drunk blog like your overly talkative girlfriend drunk dials), I don’t have access to a computer (the day I learn to easily blog from my phone will be a very dangerous day for the internet), I’m with a girl (playing it cool, pretending not to be obsessed with blogging), or my stomach is trying to digest itself (last week).

Well I’m back and hungry for blogging. Time to play catch up.

  • Spain won the World Cup. Apparently the results for 8 World Cup games were perfectly predicted by some German octopus named Paul, proving once again that octopuses can see into the future.
  • I got a vuvuzela in the mail (shout to Ivan Ibarra!) Can’t wait for a prime time to use it. Invite me to your next party. I’ll be the obnoxious guy with the vuvuzela.
  • Interpol made a new song. It will be the second single on their upcoming self titled album out 9/14. Interpol fans rejoice. Non-Interpol fans remain irritated by lead singer Paul Banks’ voice. Listen to it below.
  • The-Dream was apparently photographed fucking around with his assistant (here), putting his marriage with Christina Milian (here) in big trouble. Bad call, in my opinion. Clever titles emerge on gossip publications everywhere such as “The Dream’s Over” , “The Dream Turned Into A Nightmare”, and “The Dream, your wife was Christina Milian – the fuck are you doing? “.
  • David Gilmour and Roger Waters (Pink Floyd) reunited for a Palestinian benefit concert. Old hippies love this kind of stuff, but according to Google Analytics, no old hippies read Pigeons and Planes, so I guess nobody cares. Full story here, if you do.
  • Lebron decided to go to Miami (Rats!) A bunch of Florida rappers (Flo-Rida, Brisco, Ball Greezy, etc.) got together and made an obnoxious song prematurely declaring victory.
  • Flo-Rida, Brisco, Ball Greezy, etc. – Already Won
  • Lil Wayne is still locked up (#FreeWeezy), but on Weezy’s birthday (September 27th) Wayne’s co-manager Cortez Bryant plans to release an EP of all new material on the internet. It will be called I’m Not A Human Being. Full story here.
  • Big Boi’s solo album Sir Luscious Left Foot: The Son Of Dusty Chico continues to get overwhelmingly positive reviews from everyone except hateful baby killers, makes Confusion mad that he didn’t receive the advanced copy that was promised to him. Guess I’ll have to buy it after I finish crying and cutting up all my curtains in a blind rage.

Anything else happen?

    and enjoy your vuvuzela

    I listened to Shutterbug 23 times today. Most addicting beat ever.

    Also, in response to Paul the Octopus correctly picking Germany over Argentina, this happened http://deadspin.com/5585156/nazi-octopus-executed-for-pauls-prophecy

    Haha. Fuuuucked up.

    Sir Luscious Left Foot, is such a good album. Never really was a fan of Gucci, but I’ll give props for Shine Blockas. One of my favorite songs. And Yelawolf is on it, definitely some good artists on this album.
