Petrolicious - Lamborghini Countash

For anyone who grew up in the early 80s (or apparently, late 70s), Lamborghini’s Countash represented a flossy aspiration unmatched by any other car, save perhaps the Ferrari Testarosa.  In the above clip, Asian guy shares his insights on his recently acquired, pristine ‘Tash model.  Take a drive down memory lane.

This stop-motion animation starring a bunch of British toy soldiers and exploding fruit brought a nice smile to my face.  Enjoy!

Paris vs. New York

Great little video by Vahram Muratyan, apparently a promo for his book bearing the same title.

Pitchfork Presents: Danny Brown - “Gypped by a Crackhead”

If I had to choose 2 all-time favorite things in this sad little world, it would be rap music and re-runs of Hanna Barbera’s classic cartoon, Top Cat.  In the Pitchfork sponsored video featured above, new era Detroit MC Danny Brown retells a back-in-the-day tale of how he was ripped off by a crackhead.  The kicker?  Instead of a simple interview, the story is reenacted by Hanna Barbera-esque cats….in the projects.

Nas - “Bye Baby” (Live)

…well…barely.  Here’s the tail end of Nas’s performance of his new single, “Bye Baby.”  Nas was in Miami to help Timbaland promote liquor brand, Sutra, over the long weekend.  After Nas, Tim brought Missy out, who performed a couple of new joints.  Unfortunately I’d had too much Sutra by the time she hit the stage to even notice what was happening.
