Just saw these guys on New York Noise (episode 75) and was totally enraptured with Chris Keating’s soulful vocals that quite literally echo in your ears. Yeasayer’s 2080 is one of those songs you just can’t sit still to, which Chris confirms with his intense gesticulations throughout the video (below). You can download the Live@KEXP version (the best version) here: Yeasayer – 2080 (live@kexp).mp3. And make sure you check out

Two words: Drill Bra (picture left), that’s all you need to know about this movie. If murderous mammaries sounds titillating to you, give Machine Girl a whirl. If not, close your eyes cause it only gets weirder. The uninspired story (what little there is) employs the overused ‘begin at the end’ technique. The titular character uses a machine gun prosthesis to kill the bullies that murdered her brother. Rewind 6

Unless you’ve been hiding under a moon rock, you know Martian Manhunter met his demise earlier this year. We all deal with loss in our own way. Some soldier on. Some cry. And some have rape orgies. This month’s Final Crisis Revelations #1 opens with Doctor Light celebrating like only Doctor like can – raping the Teen Titans! Of course they’re not the real Teen Titans, just some poor schlubs

Last month’s lackluster finish to School Rumble (manga) left a lot to be desired in the way of closure. Luckily that’s what sequels are for! School Rumble Z continues the zaniness that is 2-C with a parody of the classic anime Cat’s Eye. It’s set in feudal Japan and casts Tenma, Yakumo, and Akira as the outlaws known as Kyattsu Ai (Cat’s Eye) who much like Robin Hood steal from

Action, intrigue, robot torture the Venture Bros. season finale had it all, but it was the henchmen that stole the show. [spoilers] As an epic battle between the Monarch, the O.S.I, and an army of Hank & Dean clones ensued, Henchmen 21 & 24 monitored the carnage from the safety of the Monarch mobile or so they thought. When H.E.L.P.eR (rigged to explode) hijacked their ride, Number 24 found himself

Apparently Dan “THE MAN” Abrams doesn’t know when to hold ‘em or fold ‘em. The host of MSNBC’s Verdict portrayed Barack Obama as the King of Spades on Monday night’s show (video below, about 3 min in). For those as clueless as the producers that OK’ed this, spade is well-known racial slur for blacks. MSNBC recently announced it’s replacing Dan with Rachel Maddow (aka Olbermann-lite). Seems Dan has no intention

Remember those missing persons pictures on the side of milk cartons? Well they’re coming back in spades! Two organizations Heartland Crime Stoppers and the Center for Hope are distributing custom playing cards, which feature fugitives, victims and missing persons, to convicts in the hopes that hot tips will revive cold cases. Although it may sound disdainful even morbid to have criminals literally playing games with somebody’s loved one, it’s working.

Windows XP runs like a well-oiled machine, specifically a pinball machine. And just like pinball, it’s a real ball buster! Despite having automatic updates on, I didn’t receive the Service Pack 3 update until yesterday (nearly three months after it was first released). And even with all that time for Microsoft to fine-tune it, it’s still fubar. After waiting about an hour for it install and seeing my hard drive

Poor Negishi Soichi just wants to spend his days singing sweet love ballads. Unfortunately sweet doesn’t sell with Japan’s jaded youth so Negishi adpots the persona of Krauser II, lead singer of Detroit Metal City (DMC) and all-round badass. Krauser formed DMC after escaping from prison for killing and then raping his parents. And even though it’s all an act, Negishi just can’t seem to his two worlds separated. Even

Cyborgs, no longer are they the stuff of science fiction. Scientists at the University of Reading (England) have created the real thing. And not just some armless guy with prosthetic limbs, the medical equivalent of a kid with a plastic animal grabber toy  (no offense all you armless guys out there but a cyborg you’re not). No, we’re talking all-out metal monstrosity. Introducing: Gordon – part robot, part rodent (and

Is God a republican? The evangelical group Focus on the Family seems to think so. They’ve put out a video (below) that asks its members to pray for rain during Barack Obama’s coronation… I mean, nomination at the Democratic Convention in Denver. And not just rain, but “umbrella ain’t gonna help you rain, swamp the intersection rain, network cameras can’t see the podium rain, attendees can’t walk back to the

The internets are ablaze with accusations of photoshop shenanigans, and not the good kind like transforming Agelina Jolie into a Vulcan (pic). According to the celebrity website TMZ “L’ Oreal has some serious splaining to do.” They claim L’Oreal whitewashed Beyonce’s face for its Feria hair coloring ad (picture left). Frankly, I don’t see it. But would the outcry be as loud if they had darken a pasty looking celeb?

When time tears itself apart and dinosaurs roam the streets of London, who you gonna call? Why the motley crew of civilians who discover the anomalies (time portals) of course. Not very likely you say? Get use to it. Not only does the British Military often defer to Professor Nick Cutter, whose judgment is anything but strategic (i.e. engaging the dinosaurs unarmed), but at one point they’re even prepared to

If the title hasn’t already scared you away, then you’re probably a perv. For the rest of you, a donkey punch is a sexual urban legend. Basically you punch your partner in the back of the head during anal sex (knocking them unconscious) and their sphincter locks up tighter than Fort Knox, which feels great for puncher (not so much for the punchee). Of course, you’d have to be high

It seems Osama Bin Laden has a fan in Japan and his name is Timaking. He’s the creator of Afuganisu-Tan, a “historical” comic that chronicles the turbulent past of Afghanistan through disarmingly cute characters each of which represent a country. Afghanistan is portrayed as a poor pitiable child, while America is depicted an arrogant bully who coerces the rest of the world into the global war on terror. As if
