DPOTW #5
Aug 12th
So I took last week off, not by choice but I just haven’t been finding any really great tunes lately. Well I’ve finally collected enough and the playlist actually turned out pretty well. Enjoy
Teach Me How to Dougie
Aug 5th
Not sure what this bro was thinking, but I don’t think that’s what he hoped would happen. His friend summed up my reaction pretty well at the end.

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.
Top 9 Things I Learned from Watching the World Cup
Jul 14th
1. You’re not allowed to touch the World Cup
If you were watching the game on Sunday you likely heard about the fan that ran onto the pitch and tried to “steal” the world cup. You can see in the video he was apparently trying to place a red hat on the world cup before a security guard throws down a powerful stiff arm. Most wondered how a man thought he was going to steal the most coveted trophy in sports in front of 90,000 fans and hundreds of security personnel. Well the truth is the fan is named Jimmy Jump, a serial pitch jumper from Spain who touts successes including several football matches, running through the starting lane at the 2004 Spanish Grand Prix, getting on stage during Eurovision 2010, and attempting to place a red beret on Roger Federer’s head. The Times Live reports he was fined a meager R2000, $262.64, and released.
Sad he never even got to lay one finger on the trophy.
2. Uruguay has a very long national anthem
As many viewers noticed, Uruguay does in fact have a extremely long national anthem. According to wikipedia, it is “the longest national anthem in terms of duration with 105 bars of music (about five minutes).” Fortunately FIFA has a one minute thirty second rule for anthems so we didn’t have to sit though a borefest five minutes of awkward camera pans down the players. The anthem doesn’t even have words till 42 seconds in. Japan on the other hand has one of the shortest, measuring only 11 bars.
3. Being tone deaf is a requirement for footy players
While I couldn’t find you a fantastic example of this (not a popular youtube search) I did find a North Korean crying hysterically during the national anthem against Brazil and this video of the round of sixteen between Germany and England. The video actually includes some great singing, Meatsacker really belts it out, but it makes me pause to hear a song representing German national pride. Not that Germany can’t be proud of their country, but when your defining moment in history is killing between 11 to 17 million Jews, homosexuals, people with disabilities, and other undesirables, singing about how great you are is just weird.
I would cry too if I was from North Korea
