Y'all know I love Alarazboy but......."Shake Yo Tailfeather"? Really? You gonna try and bring that
back? Puffy and Murphy Lee? C'mon now. That's not even old enough to be old school yet, it's just
that awkward in-between phase. Whatevs though. At least the cuts (in the editing & on the field)
are tight.

All-out footie mixtape king Alarazboy has figured out exactly why the likes of Zlatan, Henry &
Messi are so rigoddamndiculous; they're all mutants. Surely FIFA has something in the rule books
about that right? If not they will just as soon as "Super Baby" Benjamin Aguerro, son of Sergio
Aguerro/grandson of Diego Maradona, reveals to the world in an Argentine U-3s match that he has the
ability to both levitate during set pieces and disappear/reappear at will a la Nightcrawler.

Ignore what this fool says about taking your shirt off; you will receive a yellow card and most
likely be reported to Human Resources. I would just suggest you nod your head and drop your jaw
instead as it's by far the safer course of action.

This new monster from Toyota suffers from somthing of an identity crisis as it's got D.C. colors
but it's called the Midnight Rider but it's just so outlandishly baller that I'm just going to let
that sh*t slide. An ode to pre-game gluttony and American automotive excess it's got "a Grill N
Chill cooking space with countertops, infrared barbecue, beverage tap and an ice chest, an
electronically operated tonneau cover, and a bed-installed 42-inch HDTV".

Please take a moment to give Spike Jones the slow clamp this morning for doing something we've all
wanted to do: slap someone who's too busy on the Blackberry to pay attention to you/slap Kanye
West. Dude basically did the double here and that deserves some sort of trophy for that, if not
two.

"We can add "anus" to just about anything and it becomes...magical".
That line alone is funny --and true-- enough for me, so I don't even have to see this movie. But I
will because on the scale of Kiwi freshness Jemaine Pennant sits second between Ladyhawke & Ryan
Nelson and anything that has The Shout Out Louds in the trailer is quality in my book.

Anyone out there have any interest in starting up Motor City FC? C'mon, you know you want to
purchase the Pontiac Silverdome as your home field since it's up for auction due to no one actually
wanting to buy an outdated, outsized, domed stadium in the outskirts of Detroit outright.
This is the same building that hosted the first-ever indoor World Cup match, during which the U.

Oh sh*t y'all! It's penutbutterjellytime over at ABC; they are bringing back the classic 80's
sci-fi series V and I am as stoked as a hippie at a Birkenstock outlet. I loved this show when I
was a kid. Remember the alien baby? What about those red leather outfits that made everyone look
like they where Thriller-era MJ or Raw-era Eddie Murphy?

A bit of random freestylin' for you. I have no idea who the kid is but he's got some skills and so
does the stalker/private detective who filmed this. I'm a sucker for style and this has it in
spades; judging by the date on the video, they also have a time machine.

12 goals AND penalties decided this game between Haaglandia/Winston and Excelsior Rotterdam in the
KNVB Beker Tuesday.
This game was 2-2 at the half and then home side Haaglandia/Winston, went up 5-2, but anyone who
thought it would be over at that point was wrong.
Very, very, amazingly wrong.

If only I had enough time on my hands to do something this involved. Mind you I would do something
else with the time but still it'd be nice to know that I had the option to create and destroy
pitches, prisons and whatever else I saw fit all with the aid of small, plastic choking hazards.

I remember reading all the way back in 2004 that Diddy was doing an electro album with Felix Da
Housecat and thinking "This is the end of electro, full stop". But Diddy (thankfully) quit going to
Ibiza and it never came out but Felix's brand of Prince-punks-Kraftwerk dance music (thankfully)
went back underground.

I loved
Band of Brothers more than cheesesteak (with wiz) and now I think I may love
The
Pacific more than cheesesteak (with wiz) and a few not-so-distant relatives. Seriously, HBO's
original programming is just so good I honestly don't know why CBS and FOX even bother to exist.

Found this piece of information over at the very excellent site Du Nord. If you haven't checked out
Du Nord, what the heck are you waiting for?
When I was flying home from Mexico City last Saturday we stopped off in Houston, and had to go
through customs there. As we approached the main terminal there was a huge "Welcome To Houston
Texas" sign. Click to continue reading...
It doesn't get anymore electro-dork than geeking out over Daft Punk's beefy theme to the upcoming
Tron sequel. I don't know if I'm more excited about the film or the soundtrack. I guess it doesn't
matter since I'll cop both of them on release day and probably spend more time obsessing about both
of them than a healthy marriage will allow.

I'm sure that by now you've seen the trailer or some of the outstanding propoganda for the upcoming
film
District 9. But did you know it was based on a short film by Neill Blomkamp (director
of the upcoming
Halo film) called
Alive in Joburg? If you're interested in seeing
D-9 this is a must-watch that lays out the basic premise of the film.

I mentioned a while back that the Kansas City Wizards dropped their own custom Firefox browsers
from Brand Thunder. Well the rest of the league has finally caught up with them and now have their
own "booms" available for all of your uber-fan, computer geek needs. You can click over to the
Brand Thunder website right now to pimp your PC properly.

Our kid Beans just reminded me that one of my favorite NYC summer traditions, Adidas' Fanatic
soccer tournament, is about to pop off. The 2009 edition of the flyest footie event in the country
happens on July 25th at Waterside Park in Chelsea and as per usual will feature all manner of BBQ
goodness, beats by DJ Neil Armstrong and loads of fine and fashionable ladies & gentlemen.

Check it. This fall Duke University's history dept. is offering a course called "World Cup & World
Politics". Basically it examines global politics using soccer as the vehicle of sorts (a bit like
those books by Simon Kuper and Franklin Foer).
Seriously kids, it's got your name written all over it: not only is the subject matter appealing
but it's got A) no exams and is B) a Tuesday-Thursday class that starts at 1:15pm so plenty of time
to sleep off hangovers.

Human Fussball. We've seen it before but not quite like this. I would be into this but only if
sober and with some sort of guarantee that I would not wind up with an extreme, crippling wedgie
because a contraption like this looks like it might leave a mark.

Wonderful, weird and forward stuff from Diplo and Switch on the Mad Decent label. BTW if you are an
iPhone user you have to get the Mad Decent app; it's got air horns and gunshot sound effects and
will basically turn your phone into the DJ booth at Hot 97. So annoying yet so awesome.

You may have heard of Cold War Kids. You may not have heard of Cold War Kids. Regardless you have

explain it.
