If anyone else wants to do a link exchange shoot me an email.

*Created a muxtape page where I’ll be putting up the songs that are currently getting a lot of listens on the iPod, computer, and/or car.

I’m gonna try and switch around the songs a couple times a month and when I do I’ll let you guys know. I have pretty eclectic tastes so hopefully you’ll be able to find something you like. If not you have all of muxtape to explore.

Also feel free to post to post your own muxtape in the comments section or on the Music page.

Currently rockin:

The Rapture - No Sex for Ben

Heard this while playing GTA IV (Radio Broker) then promptly downloaded more of their music. Including:

The Rapture - Get Myself Into It

My current favorite from their album Pieces Of The People We Love

T.I. - No Matter What

I hope Cliff’s troubles with the law have made him more focused and that he keeps putting out music like this.

Janelle Monáe - Violet Stars Happy Hunting!

Janelle Monáe - Many Moons

I really like this chick. She has a great voice and a weird vibe I’m really digging.

Problem - Problem Feat. Felli Fel, DJ Quik, Kurupt, Terrace Martin & Snoop Dogg - I’m Toe Up (Offical Remix)

This song is catchy as hell. Had to include it. Nice to hear DJ Quik on something.

Adam Tensta - Dopeboy

Adam Tensta - Before You Know It

Swedish rapper (no joke) with electronica type beats. My two favorite tracks off his debut album: It’s a Tensta Thing

Freezepop - Do You Like Boys

Freezepop - Pop Music Is Not A Crime

Fruity electronica music that makes me happy.

Young Jeezy - Put On ft. Kanye West

Kanye’s verse ain’t great (rappers really need to stop using the T-Pain machine) but new Jeezy always gets plays from me

Prince - Erotic City

I Decided to end my debut Muxtape with a classic. If this song doesn’t make you move you might be paralyzed.

Now go tell your Mom how thankful you are.

I hate this commercial

This shit’s going straight to my head

We Moved! Check us out here: http://lionsfood.com/?p=42

I just read this article and had to comment on it.

“Two men and a juvenile are accused of digging up a corpse, decapitating the body and using the head to smoke marijuana, according to court documents.”

According to documents filed in the case, Gonzalez, Jones and an unnamed juvenile on March 15 went to an Humble cemetery, dug up a man’s grave, left with the head and turned it into a “bong.”

What the fuck? How stupid do you have to be to think that digging up a dead body, ripping its head off and smoking weed out of the skull is a good idea? I can see these dip shits now. “Oh man you know what would be fuckin amazing? If we made a pipe out of a human skull” “Oh shit that’s be so sick” (high fives and slaps on backs all around)

I’m assuming they made it into a pipe (maybe using the eye socket as the bowl?) because I can’t imagine what a human skull bong would look like. Maybe they just ducked taped that skull to their existing plastic bong?

Also they really should’ve been smoking crack out of that skull because if you are really that fucking stupid you might as well start smoking crack. What do you have to lose?

p.s. I like that the web address for that news site is Chron.com

NBC Sitcoms

We Moved! Check us out here: http://lionsfood.com/?p=41

Today I’m gonna provide some mini reviews of the sitcoms currently on NBC. Here we go:

MY NAME IS EARL

Thursdays 8:00

This series stars Jason Lee (from Kevin Smith movies) as Earl, a white trash ex-con who decides to turn his life around (and get karma on his side) by atoning for all of his past misdeeds. The show also has Jamie Pressley who I like. Every episode usually consists of Earl and his dumb ass brother trying to make up for some stupid thing they did in the past.

I have given this show quite a few chances but I really can’t get into it. It has its moments but overall it’s more zany and wacky than funny.

Verdict: Sucks, don’t waste your time.

SCRUBS

Thursday 8:30

Scrubs takes place in a teaching hospital. It stars Zach Braff as Dr. John “J.D.” Michael Dorian and deals with his time at the hospital with his best friend Turk. There is an assorted cast of characters including his arch emeny the Janitor and a sarcastic older Doctor who serves as his unwitting mentor.

I really like this show. It has a really good cast and provides some laughs every episode. The finale for the seventh season is on tonight and then the show is coming back for an eighth season but not on NBC. It is rumored that it will move to ABC but nothing is official yet.

Verdict: Funny show. Watch the reruns on Comedy Central and get ready for the 8th season during the 2008-2009 Television season (most likely on ABC).

The Office

Thursday 9:00

The office is a show that takes place in an office (shocker!!) and stars Steve Carell as a stupid and annoying boss of a Scraton paper distribution company. It is filmed in the style of a documentary where the presence of the camera is acknowledged. There is a nice mix of characters and the chemistry is good. Steve Carell is great in it and is the most amusing part of the show.

Verdict: Enjoyable and funny show. Check it out

30 Rock

Thursday 9:30

This show stars Tina Fey as the head writer for a SNL type late night sketch comedy show. It also has Tracy Morgan basically playing a crazier version of himself and Alec Baldwin as the head of NBC. I think 30 Rock is one of the best shows on TV right now. It is really well written and is very funny. This is another show with a finale tonight.

Verdict: Watch it. Rent the DVD’s if you’ve never seen it.

Sitcoms (FOX)

We Moved! Check us here:http://lionsfood.com/?p=34

Over the next week I am going to examine the Sitcoms (excluding cartoons) that are currently on television. First up, FOX.

‘TIL DEATH

Wednesday 8:00

This show stars Brad Garrett from Everybody Loves Raymond fame and is about marriage. It also has Eddie Kay Thomas (nerdy kid from American Pie series). It is actually a pretty amusing show, it deals with relationship humor and does so quite well. Garrett is funny and his chemistry with his on screen wife Joely Fisher (used to be in Ellen, has nice boobies) is good.

They also just added J.B. Smoove (who was Leon in Curb your Enthusiasm and has an awesome name) as the Garrett’s black friend. He adds a nice touch to the series and provides a few chuckles.

Verdict: Entertaining show and mildly amusing. Watch if you like Garrett or have nothing better going on Wednesday at 8.

BACK TO YOU

Wednesday 8:30

Kelsey Grammer of Frasier fame and another Raymond alum, Patricia Heaton star as a pair of local news anchors in Pittsburgh. Grammer went away to a bigger market for ten years but came back after being fired for an embarrassing comment. When he comes he finds out the one night he spent with Heaton has resulted in a 10 year old child.

I really wanted to like this show, Frasier was one of my favorite sitcoms ever and Heaton was good in Raymond but there is really nothing to this show. The stars have decent chemistry and the supporting cast (including Fred Willard) is ok but there is nothing really funny or enjoyable about this show. It’s not that the show is terrible it’s just that there are hardly any laughs and I found it really hard to care about the characters. Fred Willard is funny but he is just about the only one.

They are apparently getting some new cast members soon and hopefully some new writers but as of right now I can’t recommend it.

Verdict: Blah show. Not worth your time.

Photo of the Day

We Moved!! Check us Here http://lionsfood.com/?p=32

I was looking at a collection of Photobombs(when someone in the background intentionally ruins your picture) here (slightly NSFW) when I saw this one and just had to post it.

The guy looks like he is about to cry. Is he really in pain? Is the woman he is with actually a vampire and is sucking his blood? Does this picture document the beginning of the Vampire Apocalypse?

Only time will tell.

Caption Contest

BLOG MOVED! Check out the new location for this post here: http://lionsfood.com/?p=25

Every Monday I post the Cartoon for the week’s New Yorker Caption Contest, add my silly caption, and invite my readers to do the same.

I really like this week’s cartoon. We have a guy on the phone drinking red wine and looking out the window, unaware that there is a monster lurking right outside. Does he know the monster? Is the monster going to eat the man? It’s up to your imagination.

The rent is cheap, the view is great, I can’t shake the feeling that it’s all too good to be true.

What about you? Got anything better? Send off your entry and then post it in the comments.

Entries due: Sunday May 11th (Mother’s Day)

Faces in the News

BLOG MOVED! Check out the new location for this page here: http://lionsfood.com/?p=20

Troy Buswell: Politician from Australia who admitted this week that he sniffed the seat of a female staffer who worked for him.

“As revealed by The Sunday Times, Mr Buswell crawled around on his hands and knees in front of a former Liberal staffer before she left the job late in 2005.

In a separate incident, he lifted her chair and started sniffing it after she had sat in it in his parliamentary office.

The scandal follows an admission by the Liberal leader earlier this year that he had snapped open the bra of a Labor staffer.”

So Buswell held a press conference and tearfully admitted (sniff, sniff) that he had sniffed the staffers seat. Thankfully he didn’t make his embarrassed wife stand next to him during the conference, a favorite move of many American politicians who are embroiled in sex scandals.

Charles Ray Fuller: 21 year old from Texas who was arrested last week for trying to cash a 360 BILLION dollar check that he says his girlfriend’s mother gave him to start a record company.

“The personal check was not made out to Mr. Fuller and when the bank contacted the check owner, the woman said she did not write a check for $360 billion.”

I’m glad the bank had to contact the owner of the check. It does seem a little suspicious now that I think about it.

Fuller was “also accused of unlawful carrying of a weapon and possession of marijuana” Of course. I wonder if he was high when he started adding zeros to the amount on the check and just couldn’t help himself.

Discuss: What sort of music do you think Fuller’s record company would have produced? I’m guessing Soft Adult Contemporary.

OMG! She can’t even use a coffee machine!!! LOL!

A Battle for the Ages: Hillary vs. The Coffee Maker!

This video was posted on Drudge and is making the rounds on the Internet.

Really? Is this what it has come to?

First, I have to say that I love the choice of music and I guess watching Hillary fumble with a coffee machine is mildly amusing. “She can’t figure out a coffee machine, How’s she gonna be able to figure out a solution to this Mortgage mess?” yuk yuk

But is this really what the campaign has come to? Are we that desperate for something to talk about? Oooh you know what would be great? If Hillary had a couple squares of toilet paper stuck to her shoe as she walked around the convenience store. OR maybe if Barack let loose a really stinky fart on the campaign trail. Better still, maybe we can get some footage of McCain fumbling with a cell phone, unable to figure out the T9 function for text messaging. That would show how out of touch he is.

I’m grateful Hillary doesn’t wear skirts because if she did I’m sure we’d have photographers trying to get upskirt shots as she gets off her campaign jet. I’m just tired of this campaign. It has gone on for too long so the networks and the Internets try to come up with something, anything, to talk about. Yes they could talk about “the issues” or “the really important stuff” but we both know that stuff is boring and definitely won’t cut it for May sweeps. I hope this is just Drudge posting the vid because it gave him a giggle and that it doesn’t become any sort of story where Hillary comes out and says, “Well you know those coffee machines can be pretty tricky (smile smile, pander pander)” and then your local news anchors banter about how they have trouble with their own coffee machines sometimes and oh isn’t this just something we can all relate to?

She couldn’t get a coffee machine to work, so what? Maybe it was broken, maybe she smoked a fatty in the bathroom and was stoned off her ass, who gives a shit? I mean, it’s not like she’s in the new issue of Vanity Fair wrapped in a bed sheet and showing her back ( it’s her BACK people! her BARE BACK!!! AHHHH!!!!). Now that would be a scandal.

And yes I realize it’s somewhat hypocritical to post the video and then criticize the fact that people are posting it/watching it. But you know what? Shut up.
