VmpyWknd: Cousins
Nov 19, 2009 – 12:04 pm
Directing duo Hammer & Tongs have stepped to the plate to deliver the first official video for Vampire Weekend’s highly anticipated sophomore album ‘Contra’, due out January 12th on XL. The song, ‘Cousins’, features all the hallmarks of the Vampire Weekend sound we’ve come to either despise or love: Tongue-in-cheek lyrics, polyryhtm and the popped collar swagger of pop’s favorite prepsters.

Japandroids
Nov 19, 2009 – 8:04 am
Japandroids are a Vancouver duo make anthemic garage-rock flooded with distortion, wild-ass drums and an overdrive approach to laying guitar brick. “Young Hearts Spark Fire” is one of the stars on an album of visceral and emotionally charged songs. Youth, beauty and death ignite in the hands of the duo’s bare-bones drums-and-guitar setup and the directness of their songwriting. The flowery yearning prose of emo bands is replaced with something free of unnecessary distractions. Bring on the beer, the parties, and the disaffection of being young in America. It’s New York circa 1978 all over again. Only this time it’s from Canada, eh?
Putin, Palin, Popularity Contest: 2012
Nov 18, 2009 – 11:09 am
Did the Mayans predict the amazing confluence of Sarah Palin and Vladimir Putin and their respective potential bids for the Presidencies of the United States of America and Russia in 2012? Maybe. Guess we’ll find out when we get there. Or when we meet some Mayans we can ask. Meanwhile, chew on this…
2008: PRESIDENCY LOST
Palin talks about Putin. McCain/Palin lose Presidential election.
Putin steps down from the Presidency because the Russian constitution prevents him from seeking a third term.
2009: POPULARITY CONTEST
Putin gets “respect” from hip-hoppers at Russia’s Muz TV –
Despite hip-hop’s violent image, Putin had a stern message for the rappers about healthy living. ”I do not think that ‘top-rock’ or ‘down-rock’ breakdance technique is compatible with alcohol or drugs,” Putin told cheering hip-hoppers who responded with chants of “Respect, Vladimir Vladimirovich.” via
Palin gets “respect” for her new book, Going Rogue, in mixed reviews via
Putin’s “carefully orchestrated image also include bare-chested photos on fishing trips in Siberia, appearances with rare animals such as Siberian tigers, leopards and beluga whales and encounters with fringe social groups like bikers.” via

Palin’s however carefully orchestrated image also includes fishing photos, appearances with animals such as turkeys and denied encounters with fringe social groups such as the Alaska Independence Party as well as documented encounters with fringe social groups such as the cast of NBC’s Saturday Night Live.
Can’t wait for 2012. Someone needs to write in Putin/Palin for Homecoming King and Queen. Word to their PR reps.

Here’s a clip to help you get started:
