The Most Improbable Soulja Boy Video Mashup Ever

February 28, 2009 By lola

I didn’t think there was anything that could make this song good, but somehow the incongruousness of a tap-dancing David Hasselhoff look-alike and his perky crew paired with Soulja Boy’s suggestion to “Superman that ho” makes this combo so uncomfortably amazing I can’t stop watching it.

If you know me, you know that I’m a big slut for a good magazine layout. But with prices of specialty &/or foreign mags running at around $15 a pop, websites for Chinese hipster inspired print such as M-Style scratch the itch just as well.

Big Terrific Moves

February 27, 2009 By Free Williamsburg

Last night was Big Terrific’s last show at Sound Fix because the lounge is totally closing.

10 Year Old Brit Chick Is Way Cooler Than You

February 26, 2009 By kristina

Known solely as Solveig — or by her nickname Sol, which often graces her masterpieces — this adolescent artist is making the graffiti community do a serious double take.

Jindal's Response "Disaster For the Republican Party," "Nihilism," "Insane"

February 26, 2009 By Free Williamsburg

Speaking of Obama’s budget, we’re not usually huge fans of David Brooks, but holy Christ did he nail it here: We’re waiting for a Kenny the Page mash-up [UPDATE: this is close]. Until then, this will do. Leave Bobby Jindal Alone:
