Some record labels do silly things like prohibiting bands from having videos up on Youtube or making it so those videos can not be embedded on blogs and other sites that help spread the word about a group or artist. OK GO decided to team up with State Farm insurance and make a video that they can do whatever the fuck they want to do with it. Way to go OK GO and big corporations for their $$$$.
Google Maps now features a route display specifically for bicycles. There are a lot of cool features including color coded lines that let the rider know if they will be taking a bike path with no cars, streets with bike lanes or bicycle friendly streets.

SHUTTLE has a new jam up on RCRDLBL, a new remix of the song Animal by NEON TREES. First track on the playlist!
If you are unfamiliar with Neon Trees, get acquainted as they will probably take over the world soon. I have seen this band live several times and these guys (and girl) are the real deal. Awesome on record and awesome live! Enjoy!

Stop by the shop and wish Kerry a happy birthday!

Yes, this is for real. I don’t know why anyone would do this. It seems like they would be covering up some rank shit. You can see more photos and the original post HERE.
First of all, I don’t like how the media has let this one go. I guarantee you if this man had one hair on his dick that praised Allah, we would have 24 hour news coverage in Austin, Texas. But what can the pundits and the figureheads do when it was one of their own? A businessman, musician, computer nerd, wealthy white guy flies a plane into a building? They don’t know what the fuck to do with that. So they sweep it under the rug, call him troubled, and move on with top stories of American Idols and inclement weather.
