What do you do with your garbage? Throw it out? That is sooooooo 2009. These granola lovin’ patchouli stinkin’ R.E.I. shoppin’ tree huggin’ pube growin’ Earth lovers took their trash, your trash and my trash and built an ill yacht out of water bottles and now they are beating the great ocean garbage patch at it’s own game.

You may or may not have seen Obama’s Iraq speech last night, but in my opinion it wasn’t one of his best. First of all, it is great news that we are pulling out of Iraq. Better late than never, but not without some serious costs. I graduated college in 2001, (more…)

“Robyn covered the Icelandic singer’s 1996 single “Hyperballad” backed by a full orchestra at this year’s Polar Music Prize ceremony where this year’s recipients were Italian composer Ennio Morricone and Björk.” (Pitchfork)

The Arcade Fire and Google teamed up to create a pretty amazing interactive video using the Google Chrome search engine. Head to TheWildernessDowntown.com enter an address, (where you grew up, your current address, etc) and have Google Map’s images of your town brought into the Arcade Fire video. Some towns do not have enough information to fully work, if your town does not, try a neighboring town or a city. Don’t attempt without Google Chrome, I did and my computer freaked out and 90% of the video was a black screen.

You are staring at two locally made, hand crafted Amish scooters. It is only a matter of months before Brooklyn gives up on the fixed gear fad and moves onto a new, more obscure form of cycling, in this case I guess it would be pushing since these are scooters. You can pick up one of these for $245 HERE. Coming soon: custom foot straps, shortened handlebars and scooter stand training classes!

So apparently once a year there is a big festival called the Gathering of the Juggalos, a place where loyal fans of ICP can get together and have a good time. This year seemed even crazier than last year, with a group of Juggalos and jugglettes throwing bricks and trash at Tila Tequlia’s …….fuck it. I can’t write a post that uses this many made up words and shitty reality internet celebs. Just read about it here if you give a shit. Otherwise here are some crazy photos from the festivities. NSFW!

Were you looking for a better future? Did you want to do better yourself? Well, if you are attending one of the many private, for profit schools in the United States then good luck! Unless mommy and daddy front the bill from the beginning, you are going to graduate with the equivalent of a mortgage for a dope house except, you can’t live in your student loan dept, the interest rate will probably be higher than that of a mortgage and if you don’t pay you can’t claim bankruptcy and give it back. Essentially you pay, pray you get a job that pays enough to cover your loans and living expenses or you end up broke and in debt. Don’t worry, we have plenty of wars going on at the moment so you could always join one of those instead of college. Welcome to America.

The Death Set are back and with a new video! You may remember such classic videos as “Negative Thinking” or “Around The World” from their last record or the SHUTTLE (Aka ETAN) remix Impossible Optimistic Outlook

I always thought Trader Joe’s was a great place to shop. Their in store employees are paid relatively well, they are offered health benefits and they are always smiling! Not to mention the food tastes good and has a decent price point! It turns out that T.J.’s (and a large portion of the food industry) has an issue with paying a fair price for the tomatoes they sell which has resulted in abusive working conditions, unfair wadges and slavery. Watch the video above for more details.
