APPLE EARBUDZ MAKE YOU SKELETAL!!!!!!!!

Like, being deaf is so HOT!!!
According to a new study by Dean Garstecki, chairman of Northwestern's communication sciences and disorders department, "the earbuds commonly used by iPod listeners can boost an audio signal by as many as nine decibels -- comparable to the difference in sound intensity between an alarm clock and a lawn mower," Garstecki said. Damn!

Yet, the earbuds do not always fit snugly in the ear, but often allow background noise to seep in, which causes listeners to crank up the volume. In turning up the volume to drown out background noise, however, people "don't realize they may be causing some damage" to their hearing," according to Garstecki.

Damn!!!! No you didn't!!!!! That's what I been saying all along, but mainly because those damn earbuds make people look like assholes. And the sound quality sucks. So, in the spirit of Edison, I would like to recommend the ones I've been using:


These are made by Ultimate Ears and are available at Guitar Center. For $99 bucks they have clean, clear sound, great bass response AND they cancel out noise so you don't have to be that busted-up chump that made me listen to K-FED's new single on the 14A bus today. Most importantly, you won't look like Nicole Richie, because all that noise will make you go deaf so you'll NEVER hear the dinner bell. The pic above proves my point, son.


NEW VIDEO ALERT!!!!!!
Death From Above - "Black History Month" (Sammy Danger Remix)
I like Sebastian and Jesse. I've never met them, but I can still like them, oui? They're a might fine canadian duo that allegedly lives in a gay funeral home that doubles as a midget prison at night. That what I heard, which would explain their name. If "gay" and "midget" were tagged onto the end, that is. Hmm. I've seen them play live before - just bass and drums - and it was pretty wicked. Kinda like the White Stripes but without that dude with the thing or the chick that looks confused. Anyhoot, they recently released an album of remixes - so '05 - but obviously didn't check with Diddy beforehand, because I've heard that he actually invented the remix and therefore holds some sort of copyright. Oh well I hope I didn't get them in trouble. This video is pretty damn sweet, if I must say so myself. Don't worry, I'm not gonna get all Gondry on you and make comparisons. But I can tell you that the director stole some shit from Scorsese, because my film friends tell me that everyone does. So I'm just assuming that it's true.


Feist - One Evening (ReneGouletMezcla)
Yes, it's true. I am a triple threat. Commanding the stage in Vegas, dominating steel cage matches and twidling the knobs with innocent delight. I recently kidnapped Miss Feist's lovely voice, hijacked the Desi Arnaz band, put them in a room and pressed the record button. Look! I even took a picture! Que Magnifique!!! You might call this self-inflicted cronyism (?) but I beg to differ. I am simply letting you into my little world, where the women dance the cha cha cha and the men aren't invited. Touché!
