Imma buy and play Black Ops 2, because it has joined Thanksgiving and gaining twenty pounds as perennial November habits of mine. Now I know I’ll be partying to a uh, wait what?, theme song by Trent Rezzy when I boot the fucker up.
The Dude’s High 5’s: Top 5 Musical Mash-ups
April 11th, 2012 by The Dude
For those of you who may know me, you might be shocked to see that I am actually doing a musical High 5. I’m gonna let the rest of you OLers in on a little secret about the Dude. I don’t like music. That’s not to say I hate music. There are some songs I love, but I don’t actively seek out new sounds to expand my horizons like I will with other media. I can’t explain it very well. I think music is intimate, personal. Whereas a movie has 2 hours to win you over, books have a narrative that can drive the imagination, and a TV show has seasons, a song has to grab you and tell a story in minutes. This is probably why I like so few songs. So when I was introduced to the concept of mash-ups, I was perplexed. How could I possible like two songs thrown together when I didn’t really care for either song on their own. I’m not sure, but here they are, my top 5 music mash-ups.

Today, Cliff Burton would have turned a solid half-century. Rest in Peace, sweet prince of the thrashing old school.
Let’s celebrate with his jams.
Now Listening: M.I.A. – Bad Girls
February 3rd, 2012 by Caffeine PoweredOne of the more ridiculous videos I’ve seen in a while, set to one of the more catchy tunes I’ve heard lately. I’m not usually a huge M.I.A. fan, and I’ve never been struck by an entire album of hers, but I’ve listened to this song something like twenty times today.
Video: Walter Sobchak, The Last Hero. A Metal Tribute.
January 10th, 2012 by Caffeine Powered
I’m…really, really obsessed with The Big Lebowski. An obsession that was laying dormant until recently, when I watched it twice in a week. Since then, I’ve been walking around quoting it to myself and anyone near me. While trying to YouTube a clip of Walter last evening I came across this. A metal tribute to Walter, which I find far far far funnier than it actually should be.
Indulge me.
