Thanks to Kevin, I have a nice earworm buzzing in my head. Weezer’s video for their latest single, Pork and Beans, taken from their “Red Album” …. uhm …. album debuted on YouTube today and it features many of your favourite viral videos including the Coke and Menthos experiment and Chris “Leave Britney Alone!!!!” Crocker (although I think Seth Green’s parody is a lot funnier!)
Anyway, here’s some Pork and Beans:
Oh, and not forgetting Marie Digby who premiered her latest video for Say It Again a couple of days ago. Ahhh …. Marie ….. so pweety! But she really has to find some new way to move to her music. She’s doing that nodding her head thing and bobbing up and down throughout the song it’s making me dizzy. Her beauty’s making me dizzy! Heh!
Now I can add “finding new music” to the list of reasons why I’m on Twitter.
Manchester United and Chelsea fans must be squirming with nervous excitement in anticipation of tonight’s Champions League final, a final that we (Liverpool!) should have been in, instead of Chelsea. It was our destiny! Yes, I’m still sore at having lost the semi-finals to them. And I would have completely forgotten about tonight’s final had my friend not asked me on WLM who I thought would win the final.
My response to him was that it was like choosing between a vampire and a warewolf to execute a most painful death upon me.
That would be what it would feel like if I were to watch two of my most hated teams in the final of my most beloved football competition. As much as the Premier League is Liverpool’s bread and butter, the Champions League (and the former European Cup) will always have a special place in my heart.
Therefore I choose not to watch the final tonight.
But if my life depended on it and I had to make a choice, I’d probably choose Man U over Chelsea to win the trophy. Even though they’re our mortal enemies, I’d have to give Man U credit for the way they’ve played in the Premiership this season and kudos to them for a deserved title. It would be the icing on the Red Devil’s cake for them to win tonight.
And it’ll be more salt in my wounds, but it won’t be as painful if Chelsea were to win it.
So for tonight, even though my eyes are locked firmly away from the telly (in deep slumber, most likely!), I’d be (minutely) rooting for the Mancs. The thought of Roman Abramovich gleefully seeing the team (and trophy) that he bought winning in his hometown is just too much for me to bear.
Even though I’d sometimes wish Christiano Ronaldo would do one step-over too many, entangle his legs and squash his mini-balls to a pulp, just for tonight, I’m hoping he’d dazzle Chelsea with his skills and score.
In the 6th minute.
Of added time.
In the 2nd period of extra-time.
With Alex Fur’git’son’s luck, 6 minutes of added time wouldn’t be too far fetched.
Everyone knows masturbation is the safest form of sex, but when a former US Surgeon General tried to promote it, she was fired from her post.
As a form of protest, “a benefit to raise privates (haha!!) and private funds for community-based sex education and health organizations” (from The Frisky) called the Masturbate-a-thon was born.
This year it’s happening on May 25th in San Francisco.
If such a thing is organized here in Singapore, it’ll get banned even before the lubricants come out. Pffft!!
For the first time since it opened in 1962, the Seattle Space Needle is getting a good cleaning. Imagine being one of the cleaners, suspended 184 metres up in the air.
An Egyptian man was convicted of swindling hundreds of people out of £280 million and sentenced to …. get this …. a thousand years! That must be some kind of a record.
Of course, the authorities aren’t going to hold him in jail until he turns into a fossil! With any luck he might be released after a number of years depending on his conduct in prison or something.
If this scammer is jailed for a thousand years, then perhaps those Nigerian ones should be jailed for all eternity!
An anti-snoring pillow has been developed by a Japanese company, Francebed. Why a Japanese company would want to name itself FRANCEbed, I have no idea. You’d think JAPANbed would be more ‘patriotic’.
I’m not exactly sure how this vibrating pillow, which comes with a microphone jack to record the effectiveness of the pillow (huh??), actually works, but it costs about US$300.
It has all the same features as the black Alpha 350, this white, silver and gold limited edition looks less ‘rugged’ than the original. I used to shoot with an ancient Nikon F55 which has about the same colours, but I get the feeling that SLR cameras that are not in the standard black don’t look as (to borrow Christian Siriano from Project Runway) ‘fierce’.
Still, the Sony Alpha 350 is still a great camera. I love the swivel LCD screen which you don’t get on other DSLRs.
Gawd I miss these guys and I can’t wait for their album to be released in September. Judging from their performance during a benefit concert in front of 2,000 lucky fans for Flea’s music school for kids, as told in this interview with Rolling Stone magazine, they’re still rocking as hard as ever.
Does the new Metallica album have a title yet? It’s got a title and we’re still playing with it to see if we like it. But I guess the album’s done. It’s still got to be mixed. All the singing, all the recording is pretty much done. And we’re pleased with it.
Was it an unusually long process this time? It doesn’t seem that way, but at the rate we’re going, the next one will take four years. I don’t particularly like taking that long. There’s a few things that I know could make it shorter, but other band members disagree, so we do our best with a compromise.
4 years?? Damn! I hope they don’t take *that* long to come up with the next album!
Poor Muhammad Saleem might have a viral reaction to his question. He was frustrated because people are commenting on his Twitter message on Friendfeed instead of on Twitter itself (via @msaleem).
Well, he got his answer in a big way. Tons of replies came in, both on Friendfeed and Twitter within the past hour. Robert Scoble says he’s going to do a post about Mr Muhammad’s hate for Friendfeed. Look out for it!
