Broken Bells - The High Road (video)

When it comes to updates on bands via email, most of us just signed on because it was the hoop we needed to jump through to get an mp3 of a new single.

And so was the case for me with Broken Bells. Now I'm thinking I need to pay more attention to these emails because this video has been out for a month and from the first time I heard "The High Road", it was an automatic favorite.

So yeah, here's the sick, (sort of) new video from the Danger Mouse + James Mercer supergroup, via their myspace page. Enjoy!

Ndamukong Suh

In the Ngema tribe in Cameroon, Ndamukong means "House of Spears."

You know you're destined for badassness when your name translates into HOUSE OF SPEARS!

I currently have Nebraska DT Ndamukong Suh going to the Bucs at 3rd overall in my mock drafts. So what does this mean? Bad news for Michael Turner and my Falcons at least twice a year. Find out more fun facts about the 2010 NFL Draft's most exciting prospect on his Wikipedia page.

Jamere Holland Is Gonna Be A Star!

A star on facebookfails.com, that is.

After wrongly assuming that a fellow teammate on the Oregon Ducks football team got kicked off for a DUI charge, he posted a profanity-laced status update on Facebook. Whatever, no big deal there. He's just sticking up for a friend, someone he goes to war with on saturdays. I can respect that. Shit...I DO respect that.

However, he then inexplicably posts another status update about wanting to block out all his white friends on Facebook and only have black friends. You could argue either side on whether that is racist or not. If you don't wanna be friends with a group of people, even if it's just because of their race, that's ultimately up to you. But, obviously, saying something like that will have consequences. Especially when you're a representative of a highly scrutinized college athletic program like the University of Oregon football team.

Not surprisingly, the team's coaching staff had enough of his transgressions (apparently, there were past ones at Oregon and he was already kicked off USC's football team prior to joining the Ducks) and have kicked him off the team.

But back to his racial comments, I have some news for you, Jamere. You CAN exclude white people and only have black friends on Facebook. It's called saying no to the friend requests. So unless you're a compulsive facebook friend whore, you can totally do that without having to put people on blast. In fact, doing that probably would've bought you some time to grow up and possibly not sabotage your football career. Oh well.

His privacy settings are open to public so feel free to check out the status updates in question (as well as future ones) at Jamere Holland's Facebook page.

But only if you're black.

Fuck you, Martin Brodeur.

I said it after the 2006 Games, I said it after the Switzerland game and I'm saying it again now. Martin Brodeur is old and busted when it comes to international stage. Coming into the Olympics cold (in Luongo's backyard no less), it's baffling that Canada still chose to ride with him. Enter the Luongo era for Canada.

I dedicate this next song to Martin Brodeur and Brian Rafalski, whose clandestine trysts I am exposing. That's right, bitches...the jig's up!

Dr. Seuss (Wikipedia)

No joke, any modern poet or rapper needs to stop for a minute and thank this man. What an amazing dude. From his Wiki entry:

"While at Dartmouth, Geisel was caught drinking gin with nine friends in his room, violating national Prohibition laws of the time.^[4] As a result, the school insisted that he resign from all extracurricular activities. In order to continue his work on the Jack-O-Lantern without the administration's knowledge, Geisel began signing his work with the pen name "Seuss"; his first work signed as "Dr. Seuss" appeared after he graduated, six months into his work for humor magazine The Judge where his weekly feature Birdsies and Beasties appeared.^[5] Geisel was encouraged in his writing by professor of Rhetoric W. Benfield Pressey, whom he described as his "big inspiration for writing" at Dartmouth.^[6]"
