Music Video: Grizzly Bear - "Two Weeks"
I saw this heard this song for the first time several months ago, but it took a while to grow on me because I had never heard anything like it before. Apparently a lot of indie bands are starting to show influences of the Beach Boys, among other musical innovators. Pretty rad music video, too.
I highly recommend watching it in HD.

You start off at a really amateur ranking and move up to battle better players as your game improves. Eventually, you level off at a ranking with players at your level but your ranking is constantly changing depending on wins, so it never gets too easy or too difficult.
There's a few cool twists and features, too, to add some new elements to the games.

Track 2, "Do It Now," is amazing...at least partially because it's obviously produced by The Dream. Track 5, "Slow It Down," is the epitome of a sex jam. Makes me wanna txt ur sis at 130 in da am.

Dearest Mr. Uglyman (if that is your real name),
I'm willing to bet that your good friend, the pudgy one with the locks of dread...I'm willing to bet that his wipe game is anything but proper. I'm concerned for his health and you, as his cohort and confidant, should seriously consider having a talk with him. I recommend a little tough love. Be a true friend and "wipe" him into shape. Teeheehee. That last comment was in jest. Because of your obvious spelling oversight in titling your spoken word ballad and online cyber video. Do you see what I did there? But, in all honesty, something really does need to be done. Also, I would highly advise against such tomfoolery in the vicinity of a propane tank. That's just asking for trouble.
Sincerely,

TV: Michael and Michael Have Issues
Comedy Central shows are hit and miss. Some are brilliant and go on for seasons, while others quietly fade away without you even remembering they existed. For this reason, I decided to resist the urge to encourage everyone to watch Michael and Michael Have Issues (Wednesdays, 10:30p/9:30c, Comedy Central) until I at least saw an episode.
Just because someone has a brilliant comedic mind and a history of great stuff, it doesn't necessarily mean their Comedy Central TV show will be a sure fire laugh riot. So I didn't want to hype up the show before I saw it; I've been burned before.
But after having watched the premiere last night, I can gladly say that you should check out Michael and Michael Have Issues.
If you're my age and had good taste in goofy comedy shows as a kid, you probably remember these dudes on the MTV's zany (yes, zany!) sketch show The State. They've done some funny stuff since then. You've seen Michael Ian Black all over VH1 on those Remember the (Decade) shows. And if you're a College Humor fan, you've seen Michael Showalter interview/act and improvise with a bunch of hilarious people (Paul Rudd, Michael Cera, Zach Galifianakis, etc.) on The Michael Showalter Showalter.
Anyway, the show is funny and clever. Peep it, friends. Here's one of the sketches from last night's ep.

It shows a true appreciation of the music. Any moron can match up 120 bpm and 120 bpm without truly knowing what the songs are about.
