So What Have You Listened To Today?

Published on July 26, 2007 in Tunes. 0 Comments

Me? Well… in the last hour or so I’ve listened to the following:

Sly & The Family Stone – Luv N’ Haight
311 – Come Original
The Soggy Bottom Boys – In The Jailhouse Now
Dance Hall Crashers – Street Sweeper
Kidneythieves – Serene Dream
Dance Hall Crashers – Truth Hurts
Incubus – Rogues
The Decemberists – The Island
Cream – Sitting on Top of the World
Bob Marley & The Wailers – Who the Cap Fit
Pearl Jam – Habit
The Hives – Walk Idiot Walk

How do I know this? Because of a nifty new web site that Zarch introduced me to last week. Last.fm is sortuv a music community site which helps you to find new tunes, enjoy music you love and find folks that enjoy the same rockin’ riffs as you. They’ve personally dubbed themselves “The Social Music Revolution” and after using it a week, I think the tagline fits.

Totally Pwned! Ferrari Owners Can’t Drive

Published on July 25, 2007 in Pwned!. 0 Comments

I’m not sure what it is with Ferrari’s, but for some reason the camera always seems to be rolling when they bend fenders. This particular video was captured during the filming of a PGR4 commercial and apparently, they decided not to pay for professional drivers.

I believe the F430 pictured above was the only casualty during the session and the damage was luckily not life threatening to either car or driver, but in another shot (after the jump) a ’63 Vette just about get’s plowed by a Tesla roadster. You can actually watch several more clips from the same session over at AutoBlog Green. As you watch the rest of the vids it becomes immediately apparent that the dude in the Vette probably needs to take up a new hobby. Maybe something like playing video games about racing. That way a severe oversteer won’t result in the demise of a classic piece of American Auto Art like a fully restored ’63 Vette.

Zombie Proof…

Published on July 11, 2007 in Random. 3 Comments

I’ve played enough zombie games to be pretty confident that I could outlast the hordes of stumbling, brain-eating vermin. Apparently though, I’m not quite as zombie proof as I thought…

58%

According to this Zombie Apocalypse Quiz, I’ve only got a 58% chance of survival. I’m pretty sure it’s my concern for family and friends that will ultimately do me in. Stupid zombies.

Welcome To The Kwik-E-Mart

You’ve probably heard about the new seven-eleven/Simpson’s Movie promotion that will be converting a few sev locations into real live Kwik-E-Marts… well, here’s the proof. I have no idea where this 7-11 location is, but then… I have no idea where Springfield is either.

Click Here to see the entire Flickr gallery which includes shots of the ice freezer (which contains a chilly Jasper Beardly), the Squishy machine, shelves full of Buzz Cola and Krusty O’s Cereal as well as several life-size Simpson’s characters loitering around the store.

Pretty clever promo if you ask me.

Holy Crap I Want This Game!!1!

Published on July 5, 2007 in Games. 0 Comments

Here at the ModStomp Mansion, we’re rather enamored with Guitar Hero. We pretty much play it as often as humanly possible and although we mostly suck at it, we enjoy it more than a warm milk bath. That being said, I think we’ve now found a game that will be able to dethrone Guitar Hero as our favorite… Rock Band looks friggen amazing! One of my favorite things about Guitar Hero (besides totally rockin’ out) is the multiplayer-ness of it. I especially love GH2 and the simultaneous jam factor. Rock Band takes that idea to a whole new level though and I can totally envision the “Euthanized Gerbil Tossers” (that’s one of our possible band names) making total fools of ourselves as we jam harder than a coked up metal fiend at a Gwar concert. Anyway… here’s a clip of Rock Band game play that was found in the wild. Enjoy!
