Lazerproof: Lazer + La Roux Mixtape →
This mixtape adds in some reggae, dubstep, and R&B to La Roux’s electropoppy sound.
It’s weird to see La Roux’s single, Bulletproof, reach the current Top 40 because I was listening that same song a year ago. I don’t think I’m a trendsetter or anything, I just find it interesting that it took so long for La Roux to take off.

The Wit of the Staircase
shortbread:
From the French phrase ‘esprit d’escalier,’ literally, it means ‘the wit of the staircase’, and usually refers to the perfect witty response you think up after the conversation or argument is ended. “Esprit d’escalier,” she replied. “Esprit d’escalier. The answer you cannot make, the pattern you cannot complete till afterwards it suddenly comes to you when it is too late.”
Muphry's Law →
readmorewikipedia:
Muphry’s law is an adage that states that “if you write anything criticizing editing or proofreading, there will be a fault of some kind in what you have written”.
The name is a deliberate misspelling of “Murphy’s law”.
WatchFox’s version of High School Musical, Glee, covers Jessie’s Girl, one of the best rock ballads ever. Not as riveting as the original, but it has its charms. Hulu - Glee: Laryngitis - Watch the full episode now.

Yes, the Machete from the “fake” trailer from Tarentino’s Grindhouse Double Feature. The “fake” trailer was so awesome, that they are making a real movie out of it. Ensemble cast: Steven Seagull, Jessica Alba, Lindsay Lohan (as a crazy ass assassin nun), Robert DeNiro, the guy that plays Frank Lapidus on lost, and either Cheech or Chong (I dont know who is who)

Facebook Users Outraged That Personal Information... →
Following Facebook’s recent revisions to its privacy policy, many users are lashing out against the social network, angry that deep personal details they share with ex-co-workers, friends of friends of grade school friends, and people they met once during college orientation may now be shared…

– FOXNews.com - EXCLUSIVE: U.N. Elects Iran to Commission on Women’s Rights
I am confused by this election. It’s like the U.N. is showing its complicity of the non-existence of Iranian women’s rights. Not that it matters much, no one really respects the authority of the United...

Sacrificing your dreams at the altar of reality is a rite of passage for everyone but a handful of rock stars and ballerinas. You can’t ever let that shit get to you, or else you’ll end up leading one of those lives of quiet desperation.
WatchThe official trailer for the latest comic book adaptation, Jonah Hex. It has dynamite stick guns and Will Arnett! What more could you ask for? (Though I think Josh Brolin should be uglier)

NutBusters
thinkstank:
Porn franchise. Every episode features the hosts presenting some sort of sexual premise (“Is it possible to have a threesome in the back of a VW Beetle”, “Does Sasha Grey prefer jam or syrup?”, etc).
Then at the end a naked red-headed man in a beret shouts “Nut…busted!”

“It makes no sense to plant highly allergenic trees or shrubs close to where we live.” Yet city gardeners still do so every day. Why not instead plant the kind with less pollen — and make it much easier for everyone to enjoy the beauty and the shade?
