Man’s guide to shopping at Urban Outfitters
Jul 30th
1. Don’t be tricked by the commercialized indie feel that washes over you when you enter, this is excessive A/C.
2. You’ll probably be greeted by a hipster who looks as if she would play opposite Michael Cera in an awkward overly contemporary indie movie dripping with coming of age love failure.
Fucking Hipsters with their god damn PBR
3. Ignore the sunglasses on the racks, these can be purchased else where for 90% less.
4.Spend sometime looking at the coffee table books. Don’t commit to one of these books, things white people like and pictures of Banksy art are readily available on the internet, you don’t need a book.
5. Reminisce: spend some time looking at the tee shirts that have pictures on them. Whether it’s Alf, Where the Wild Things Are, or Ninja Turtles, in some way Urban has attempted to destroy your memories of youth.
6.Pearl Snaps…. just leave these alone, they don’t work for you.
7.Check out the BDG shirts. These t shirts are great, but they shrink like a bitch and the sizes are overstated to make you feel bigger than you are. This should help:
8. On your way out be sure to pick up 10-12 pairs of Haviana sandals

Several must listen tracks in this playlist. There is probably at least one you haven’t heard. The newer stuff is towards the beginning. Register so I can send you a rar.
Dexter: Season 5 (SPOILER)
Jul 25th
Here is the trailer for Dexter: Season 5 that aired at Comic Con. If you haven’t seen the first 4 seasons of Dexter and you’re a guy, then you absolutely should. It may take a few days/weeks, but watching Dexter for the first time reminded me of watching LOST episode after episode. New episodes start September 26th, so you have some time.
This season promises to be darker and more disturbing than all four seasons before it.
New beats from The Kid
Jul 23rd
Cudi is offering up more from his upcoming album set to release later this year. The kid and Kanye kicking us some new killer creativity with “Erase Me”. Alliteration aside, I kinda dig the new beat. The guitar riff throws you off at first. I thought it was them trying make Cudi more mainstream, but the track somehow still keeps the feel of both artists. Check it out here
Hands off my Lindsey Lohan!
Jul 23rd
Never say a harlot is past their prime. After all the drug abuse, the multiple visits to rehab/Hollywood vacation and her daily intake of gallons of hard liquor, Lindsey still has a stupid sexy body and amazes again. I know you all thought that the purple swimsuit was the peak of of this hotty, but these new photos from complex.com show a much darker, slightly sluttier, and much to my approval, more brunnete side of The Parent Trap star we all fell in love with back in ’98. Hopefully she makes it through prison ok and puts out a few more scandalous pictures and god willing, another Mean Girls. Or she could just put out. Dealer’s choice.
Attempt at Viral Marketing?
Jul 23rd
With the new direct TV commercial, one would thing that Old Spice man, Isaiah Mustafa, has inspired more monologue driven, obscure Viral Marketing attempts. Perhaps just a complement or maybe a mockery (Direct TV is good at this), either way there is no denying the resemblance.

Since they’re almost certainly backed into the spot, make sure to park uncomfortably close to the driver’s side
Worth the $8.50
Jul 18th
If you happen to come across a small fortune or sub lease a home for a short time you might be able to afford a Movie ticket. If this is the case, here’s some NPNR approved films to see in theater.
Inception 9.5/10
As Tracy Jordan would say, ” I love this movie so much I wanna take it behind the Middle School and get it pregnant.” Nolan gives us the 2010 summer blockbuster with great action, an intriguing plot, grade A casting, and an artfully lucid element that leaves us wanting more (even after two and a half hours). A big movie that still retains a love of film making and challenges what can be done in an action sequence. At the end of the last decade, we got the matrix and now we have inception.
Winter’s Bone 8/10
This beautifully dull film about a backwoods family with a hierarchy that ends at a 16 year old girl inspires quiet a bit of pity. Feelings of isolation and vulnerability make this a film well worth the $8.50. If you can find an art theatre playing it, that is.
Toy Story 3 (8.5/10)
Like this needs to be said. I’d argue those of us who grew up linear to the progression of TS1 TS2 and TS3 could be called Generation Toystory. Appropriate ages 3-103
