Music Monday: My Moon My Man by Feist

Last week I was lucky enough to catch Feist at The Wiltern for The Audio Perv. You can see my full review of the show there. While Feist just came out with a new album, Metals, I still prefer their older tracks - like My Moon My Man. Catch the song after the break.

Jizz in My Pants: TWILIGHT Edition!

In "honor" of BREAKING DAWN's release tomorrow, enjoy this hilarious video of The Lonely Island/SNL's "Jizz in my Pants." I love the facial expressions they got of Bella and Edward! Are you planning on seeing TWILIGHT this weekend?

Goodnight iPad: Goodnight Moon for a new generation

I remember reading Goodnight Moon as a kid. It looks like it's getting a funny, modern update to include all the technology that distracts us from sleeping night after night. I know there are plenty of nights (and mornings!) where I just lie in bed on my iPhone, catching up on tweets and Facebook, instead of sleeping.

What is a "Party Pooper" exactly?

The US/English idiom of someone being a "party pooper" has this guy wondering how that is even socially acceptable. Check out this hilarious moment of something being lost in translation!

Hardcore Geekery: A Legend of Zelda Rap

For those who not only love playing the Legend of Zelda, but also enjoy gangsta rap and the hardcore life of an elf, this track is for you!

2 Years + 288,000 jelly beans = 1 awesome video

Now this is dedication! Instead of doing this video by CGI or taking on a less challenging concept, the artist, Kina Grannis, and director embarked on a 2 year long project to do a stop motion music video for her track "In Your Arms." Using over 288,000 jelly beans, the video shows various scenes of rain and snow, moutains, a journey down a vortex, and more.

It's an adorable song, made all the better by this amazing video! Watch the full video after the break.

How BACK TO THE FUTURE Should Have Ended

Someone had the genius idea to mash up the worlds of BACK TO THE FUTURE and STAR WARS! I can't get over how awesome this would have been in the movie! Check out how BACK TO THE FUTURE should have ended after the break:

Blast from the Past: THE PRINCESS BRIDE Reunion

One of my all-time favorite movies is THE PRINCESS BRIDE. It's just so quotable, romantic, funny, and I truly love everything about it.  It's crazy that this film is as old as I am! The cast reunited on Good Morning America to talk about filming and how fans still approach them about it today. What's your favorite quote?

I'm torn between "Have fun storming the castle!" and "My name is Inigo Montoya, you killed my father, prepare to die."

Watch Carey Elwes, Robin Wright, Chris Sarandon, Wallace Shawn, Billy Crystal, and more after the break.

Method Man sells out: World Gone Sour Official Video

Anderson Cooper, I love you even more now!

Anderson Cooper's giggle fit from the Gerard Depardieu peeing story is the best thing I've seen all week (yes, that includes RISE OF THE PLANETS OF THE APES).

Just watch and enjoy already!

Harry Potter in 60 seconds

I love a good YouTube video and this musical summary of the entire Harry Potter series is pretty tops! I love how he changes musical style and tempo to fit each book. Warnings: Spoilers for books/movies until HARRY POTTER AND THE HALF BLOOD PRINCE.



Like the song? You can buy it on iTunes of course!

SDCC: THE DARKEST HOUR was my favorite footage from the entire con

THE DARKEST HOUR was that hidden gem in the coal mine that is San Diego Comic-Con. In a weekend filled with KNIGHTS OF BADASSDOM, TUCKER & DALE VS. EVIL, and of course THE AMAZING SPIDER-MAN, the trailer and production talk stood out the most for me. You can check out my full thoughts on their private presentation on Gordon and the Whale, but watch the trailer right here:

SYTYCD Season 8 Highlight: Tadd's Top 8 Solo

While I was surprised to see Tadd in the bottom two guys this week, it was totally worth it for this solo! I can't believe the strength he has to do those leg moves while holding himself sideways on the post. Just watch it already and be amazed!

FIRST TRAILER: The Amazing Spider-Man

Now, I love the first SPIDER-MAN and was a little miffed that they're "rebooting" it so soon, but this trailer looks pretty sweet to me!



Are you excited for this reboot?

Friday Funny: Cat Lady Remix

Happy Friday! Sorry for the lack of posts this week, it's been pretty crazy at work and the holiday got in the way too. Next week, I'll figure out a new Wednesday post to replace the Good Deals. I'll still have good deals on Twitter and Facebook, but I won't be blogging about it regularly anymore now that the Amazon Associates program doesn't apply in California.

Enjoy this rocking tune from the Autotune the News guys:



Have a great weekend!

Broadway's Not Just for Gays Anymore!

I missed the Tony Awards last night thanks to a long drive to Las Vegas, but all of twitter was a buzz over the fantastic opening number and hosting duties by Neil Patrick Harris. Seriously, can he just host the Oscars already?

To open the award show, he sang how theater is not just for gays and liberals anymore, it's for red states and blue states, businessmen and their wives, and just about everyone under the sun. Check out the video after the break and let me know your favorite part in the comments.

Music Monday: Pumped Up Kicks by Foster The People

This song has been on the LA radio stations for a while, but I'm still totally digging it. It's got a pretty dark message, but the hook is just so catchy and light! Check out the official video after the break.

SNL Highlight Reel: Dance Dance Season 36

Season 36 was a very strong season for SNL, with great new featured players in Vanessa Bayer, Jay Pharoah, Taran Killam, and Paul Brittain. Each of them did a great job adding their own characters and impressions into the mix.

This season was particularly musical with a good amount of musical opening monologues and dance numbers within sketches. Live from New York, It's Saturday Night put together a great montage of these moments, watch the video after the break!

So You Think You Can Dance Season 8 Premieres Tonight!

YOU GUYS KNOW SO YOU THINK YOU CAN DANCE PREMIERES TONIGHT, RIGHT?! Ok, good.

Auditions start tonight at 8pm on Fox and I'm so excited! Mary Murphy is back after missing last season and it seems like we're in for more All-Stars too. They won't announce the All-Stars until the Top 10 are revealed though, so we've got a week or two of speculating ahead of us.
