If you've never seen one of Tim Heidecker's stand-up sets, you're really missing out. Some serious Kaufman-esque stuff going on here. I highly recommend the earliest ones he did (look 'em up on YouTube) because the audience wasn't privy to the whole intentionally-unfunny-and-dry stuff yet. Made for some delightfully uncomfortable situations.

Music Video: The Avett Brothers - "Slight Figure"
Funny stuff. Half viral video, half music video. Directed by Jody Hill (Eastbound and Down). The Avett Brothers are a pretty big deal in these parts because they're from Concord, which is right next door to Charlotte. Jody Hill is also from Concord.

Odds are this won't interest you. But I found it fascinating. I love videos of musicians coming up with songs in the studio. The process is amazing to me. This one is of The Dream, one of the hottest R&B producers in the game, creating two hits in two hours.
Bonus: Here's one of Justin Timberlake and Pharrell coming up with "Last Night" and here's an incredible one of them creating "Senorita".

Bummer.

Video/TV: MTV's Jersey Shore Promo
My college roommates and I were obsessed with the first MTV True Life episode, entitled "I Have a Summer Share". You've seen it. You know it. Tommy and the gang getting wasted, getting emotional, going nuts and trying to get laid on the Jersey Shore. If you want to see it again, you can watch it here in its entirety.
CHEESE BU-ALLS...AND STEAK SANGWICHES!
Well, great news! As old roomie Valenza put it, "For those of you who didn't see this commercial during last night's Real World/Road Rules Challenge, God finally answered my prayers and gave us the show I've always wanted."
This will be amazing. Can't wait. See you there!

Video: Swab Drinks an Earthquake
In my search to find an image of Earthquake beer, I came across this video.
This swab comes home from work, pops open an Earthquake, shows off his DVD collection, and shoots the sh*t with no one in particular.
Enjoy some of the swabbiest phrases ever uttered all in one video:
-"Oh, look at all those MMA DVDs!"
-"Got UFC 1 through 57 on DVD. Whatchu know about that?"
-"Doin' some high gravities."
-"How you guys doin'?"
-"I think, I believe all the drama is over with."
-"Keep, uh, makin' swillin' videos."
-"Having a 6-pack of Bud Light in one can. Straight to da head."
-"'Cause that's how we roll."
-"Got to work around 1:30, left at 5:00. Not a bad work day."
-"Keep dribblin'. The f*ck? What is the meaning of this?"
-"This is not made in a 40. So don't ask."
-"However, if there was a 40 of this...it'd be tits."
Apparently this guy has at least one kid. Which means he somehow tricked a woman into reproducing with him. Also, this seems to be one in a series of "swillin' videos". So look up the rest if you want to feel better about yourself and your friends.
Booze: Several States Moving to Allow Higher Alcohol Content in Beer
Take a sip of this USA Today article, which points at that many states are about to start allowing a higher percentage of alcohol in beers. One state up to 16%!
I've had the aforementioned 12% beers here in North Carolina. There's one called Earthquake that comes in a 24oz can. And lemme tell ya! It tastes like poo and just two will get you completely hammered. If that's the type of thing you're into.
