Get Ready.......
......for my favorite French overlord and master of the universe....Pedro Winter aka Busy P. Bringing with him......So_Me. 
Weenstock '08??????
So some promising language from Dean Ween about the possibility of a Ween music festival in New Hope, PA sometime around Labor Day. This is what he posted today on his blog, BrownieTroop 666:
"Also, we are considering the idea of holding our own music festival at the end of this summer, somewhere in the vicinity of New Hope with Ween headlining the whole thing. Is this something that you guys would travel for, "WEENSTOCK?" (I know that name is gay-I just couldn't resist saying it. It'll be called something else.) We're taking a close look at all of the outdoor venues, parks, and amphitheaters in the area and we're trying to get a feel for the response it would get. This would most likely be around Labor Day and would mark the end of the one year "La Cucaracha" tour. Anyway, drop me a line if you like and we'll see you out there on tour in 2 days."
.....That would be kick-ass
Lakai: Fully Flared
From Lakai footware and the people that brought you "Yeah Right!!" comes Fully Flared. This video somehow came out in November without me noticing, but it has now drawn my attention. If you've never seen Yeah Right before, it was a video that used green screened skateboards and ramps in real life, to make it look like skaters were either floating, or guys could jump like 10 feet high. One of my favorite videos ever...hands down. In the same vein as the CGI skateboards, check out the gimmick involved in Fully Flared:

Some music to hold you assholes over. Most of you won't like it anyway I assume. But I do, so go fuck yourself.
Cute little dummies
Have you seen these commercials recently that star all these little babies? They'll show a baby laughing and at the end say, "Laughter can add 8 years to your life...So live longer, retire stronger, and never outlive your money" (how'd they really nail down that number 8?) and then that's supposed to make you wanna buy a bunch of life insurance.
The commercials are actually pretty hysterical because these hilarious little babies will just laugh uncontrollably at the stupidest shit, like ripping paper. I wish, for like a week, they'd run the same exact ad campaign with this video.

"Laughter can add 8 years to your life....So live longer, retire stronger, and occasionally make your kid cry by farting in his face...it's hilarious."

Quicksilver Natural Selection '08
Big thanks to Brown for this find...
Original article from quiksilver.com
INAUGURAL QUIKSILVER NATURAL SELECTION: ALL-MOUNTAIN FREESTYLE INVITATIONAL AT JACKSON HOLE TO BE HELD
Forget Parks, Rails and Pipes: Travis Rice To Host 17 of World's Best Snowboarders in Test of Skill on Natural Terrain
"Quiksilver, the leading brand in boardriding, today announced that the inaugural "Quiksilver Natural Selection: All-Mountain Freestyle Invitational at Jackson Hole" snowboarding event will be held from January 30 to February 5, 2008 in Jackson Hole, Wyoming. This innovative event is the brainchild of Quiksilver athlete and one of today's most versatile and accomplished snowboarders, Travis Rice, who envisioned a competition that removes the constructs of snow parks and half-pipes, and instead uses a natural-terrain course to bring out the best in riders' style and technique.
Travis, who is also an avid filmmaker, has posted a personal video announcement about the event here.
To ensure fresh, untracked snow, the event extends over a seven-day holding period beginning on January 30, with the two days of actual competition to be determined by natural forces. The idea is to hold out for the best possible powder conditions so riders can carve fresh tracks."
I, personally, think this is great for snowboarding. This is right up Travis's alley, and if he doesn't absolutely smoke the competition, Nicolas Mueller will. See the event go down live on a webcast on quiksilver.com.
Mixes
I am going to start putting up a weekly mix each week. Usually on Sundays. Watch for it. Look for the this kick ass picture above. 'tard on.
Cut Copy has a new video out for their upcoming album "In Ghost Colours" which is going to be amazing. I really love these guys. I got tickets last week to see them at Mercury Lounge. 'tard on till the blight of you.

Found about this guy through Fool's Gold blog. It's updated regularly and they post good stuff. Check this guy out. Awesome beats.
....annnnnndd a little Lil' Wayne just cause he kills it.
This next track is awesome.
Hot Chip - Made in Dark
Hot Chip is coming out with a new album as well, scheduled for sometime next month. It's called "Made in Dark" and I have a promo copy which has this robot voice periodically saying "Made in Dark by Hot Chip, copyright". Even so, it's really great. here are two of my favorite tracks for you to check out.
If you like these guys and I do, a lot. Plan on heading to Webster Hall on 4/12 or to Highline Ballroom, the really cool new venue, on 2/2, either date, I think we should go. It looks like it could be a really good time. Here is a link to tickets that doesn't work because it's sold out, but lets try to get tickets on Craigslist. Let me know if you are down?
Sold Out
Sebastien Tellier
Now something music related. Finally we get more from Sebastien Tellier. The guy who put out his first single from his upcoming album "Sexual Sportswear" that I originally posted about a long time ago. It appears as of we have gotten a taste of yet another track. This one is called Divine. Check it out. I hear a little Beach Boys.
Call me a loser, these are pretty cool.
Some old photos from around NYC have been released by the Library of Congress along with photos from other locations. The ones below are just a couple I really liked.
Side-note. The picture of the New York Public Library is from opening day. Thanks to Gothamist for the post.

Coachella East at Liberty State Park???
Gothamist reports that Goldenvoice, the promoters that put on the Coachella festival every year in Indio, CA, are planning a similar East Coast version of the festival to be held at Liberty State Park. For those unfamiliar with Coachella, it can be thought of as the "tastemaker" of American rock festivals, often featuring headliners that wind up being the following year's "next big thing". For example, Daft Punk's 2007 incarnation of their unbelievable pyramid light show extravaganza premiered stateside at Coachella 2007. Coachella 2007 also played host to Rage Against the Machine's first reunion set, as well as headlining spots from the Arcade Fire, Justice, and LCD Soundsystem. Forgive my indie snobbery, but this bodes much better for the East Coast music festival circuit this summer than the most-likely-doomed-from-inception Vineland Festival. Look for an announcement of the Coachella 2008 lineup in the next few days here. If you're a gambler, go ahead and put your entire savings on Vampire Weekend being on there.
Guys.....looking for a Sugar Momma????
