Happy Bday, Jesus!
I had a great Xmas, I'm tired as hell. So to celebrate this day quickly and to not make me more tired I'll just give three funny flicks about Santa and a song!
Hey you! Yeah! You're the one that looks like Christmas! So come over here and kiss me, kiss me! - The Cure - Hey You!
(P.S. Apparently we had mistletoe in our garden!)

Dexter: Early Cuts
I love Dexter, what's not to love? He's a frickin' serial killer! I watched the whole show and this week, I discovered they made an animated short series of Dexter, telling us about his history, his origins. The third one has yet to come out, but here are already the first.

14. Jim Morrison and The Doors get higher on The Ed Sullivan Show, 1967
The Ed Sullivan Show, the variety program famous for breaking acts like Elvis Presley and The Beatles, is almost as famous for censoring them. On September 17, 1967, The Doors were fresh off the success of their breakout hit, “Light My Fire,” and were about to perform the song on the show. The group was even set to sign a deal that would put them on seven more times. All they had to do was appease the show and its sponsors’ request for lead singer Jim Morrison to not sing the line “girl we couldn’t get much higher,” a supposed drug reference. Morrison sang the line as originally written, and not only was the group banned from the show, but Sullivan refused to shake the Lizard King’s hand at the performance’s end. Rumor has it that Ed Sullivan later saw 2 Live Crew perform “Me So Horny” from Heaven and gave Morrison a hug. — G.D.
13. Jarvis Cocker interrupts Michael Jackson, the BRIT Awards, 1996
While performing his new “Earth Song” at the British awards show, Michael Jackson rose above the stage on a construction worker’s crane, striking poses that were more King James than King of Pop while a chorus of children (and a rabbi!) danced below. Jarvis Cocker, lead singer of alt-rock band Pulp, rushed the stage, pointed his ass in Jacko’s general direction, smirked for the camera, waved at Michael, and ran in circles to avoid security. Cocker was eventually held by police on suspicion of assault, but never charged. The rocker said he did it because Michael’s Jesus act was “not right” and “rock stars have big enough egos,” though Cocker probably didn’t mind the boost in Pulp record sales. He insisted that rock ‘n’ roll was meant to stick it to “The Man,” and in this case “The Man” was Michael Jackson. — Eric Larnick
11. The Sex Pistols play “God Save the Queen” at the House of Parliament, 1977
From the moment groundbreaking punk rockers The Sex Pistols wrote “God Save The Queen,” the song was marred in controversy. On March 10, 1977, the band was signed by A&M Records — then released from their contract just six days later, leaving 25,000 copies of the single to be destroyed. In May, Virgin Records signed the band, but the song’s lyrics and album cover — featuring the Queen’s face with the title over her eyes and mouth — offended employees at the pressing plant, who then refused to work. The single eventually was released on May 27. In June of that year, to celebrate Queen Elizabeth’s Silver Jubilee, her majesty was to set sail down the River Thames, past the House of Parliament. Two days before the procession, the Pistols stole the Queen’s thunder by chartering a boat for same route, while blasting their “tribute” to her. Eleven people were arrested as a result — but that’s a small price to pay for lasting rock ‘n’ roll infamy. — G.D.
6. Elvis Costello on Saturday Night Live, 1977
Back in 1977, most of America hadn’t heard of Elvis Costello. His albums were available via import, but the British rocker hadn’t yet connected with the general public. Saturday Night Live was the hippest show around, and all eyes were locked on its taste-making power. After the Sex Pistols’ legal troubles forced them to back out of the December 12 show, Costello was brought in as a last-minute musical guest. For his television debut he wanted to play “Radio, Radio” — a raging indictment of radio’s increasingly commercial direction, and record companies’ strict control of what people hear — but his label was clearly unfamiliar with the definition of irony. Columbia Records ordered him to play “Less than Zero” instead. Elvis had barely begun playing their chosen song when he launched into “Radio, Radio.” The impromptu moment got him banned from SNL for twelve years; in 1999, with a little help from the Beastie Boys, he returned as a conquering hero. — E.L.
5. Kurt Cobain wears a dress on MTV’s Headbanger’s Ball, 1991
Strange to remember now, but before there was such a thing as “grunge,” fledgling Seattle rockers Nirvana got filed in the “heavy metal” section. That’s how they ended up on MTV’s Headbanger’s Ball, home of all the teased hair, misogyny, and homophobia that ’80s metal had to offer. Needless to say, feminist homophile Kurt Cobain couldn’t resist the chance to appear on the show in a dress, raising a wry middle finger to the macho audience he despised (see also “In Bloom“). Nevermind might’ve knocked metal off the charts, but symbolically, Cobain’s gown was the last nail in the coffin. — P.S.1. Bob Dylan Goes Electric, Newport Music Festival, 1965
Bob Dylan was the wunderkind of the folk community. At the 1965 Newport Folk Festival, he took the stage with an electric guitar and a full band. The crowd’s reaction was not pretty; the hardcore folk purists who’d made Dylan their young-buck god considered his new sound the worst kind of treason. After three songs, Dylan threw up his hands and walked offstage. While the official backlash happened after the performance, there are still conflicting tales about that night. Some festival-goers contended Dylan’s performance was met with a smattering of boos; others claim there were no boos whatsoever. Some say the bad reception came from the audience, others camps state it was from other musicians backstage, or the press section. Pete Seeger recanted his negative reaction to the set — “If I had an axe, I’d chop the microphone cable right now” — with the explanation that he was reacting to the poor sound system and not the radical act of Dylan going electric. Whatever happened, it was an iconic moment and a huge spark for rock ‘n’ roll. — L.C.
"Am not just watching this 'cuz I'm drugged up!" (Part 2)
Ok, part 2 in this kid shows extravaganza, I'm not really sure if there's a part 3 planned, I don't think so yet. I was just too lazy before to give you all of this in one post. But that doesn't matter now, I'm introducing you to Yo Gabba Gabba! When I was a wee infant I only had this show about a mentally challenged 3 year old that tried to draw something and stuff with a clock, clearly not as hip as Yo Gabba Gabba, this show brings cool pop artists to the little snots! So I'm guessing this also has found some popularity amongst non-toddlers..
More Jack Black:

The Shins:
MGMT: (OMFG!!?? Right?! And the song is supercool too, this is so weird, it's a fucking show for little 4 year old motherfuckers!)
Furthermore check out Weezer's upcoming song (also too cool for words), and Rhys Darby doing the robot, love him!

Evolution Of The Hipster 2000-09
The coolest:
2002: The Ashton
His PBR trucker hat and faux vintage t-shirt reveal an obsession with “irony.”
2004: The Twee
He adores his rare-vinyl collection and tobacco pipe. Despite 20/20 vision, he wears Buddy Holly glasses.
2006: The Mountain Man
He seeks working-class authenticity, taking pride in his full beard and the fact that he’s often mistaken for a homeless person.
2008: The Williamsburg
He thoughtfully hangs shutter shades in the deep-V of his white tee, and he’s often seen walking his fixed-gear bike around town while texting with his iPhone.
Sinan Bolat.
Fuck, niet te geloven dat ik zolang heb gewacht om dit te posten, maar goed nogmaals met de wereld delend, de prachtgoal van de held van Sclessin BOLAT! Dankzij hem overwintert Standard, het gelijkspel was misschien gestolen, maar dan is Bolat toch de meest geliefde dief. Champions League had gemogen, maar we zijn toch nog zeer blij. Bekijk nog eens de verbazing in ieders ogen en de blijdschap achteraf. "Daardoor ga je als vanzelf de herenliefde bedrijven."
The Guild.
The series show all different kinds of gamers, showing that the stereotypical man living in his parents' basement is not the only kind of gamer. But still having a good laugh at the social retardedness that most gamers have. It's fun, although I don't understand the gamer-lingo, it's still funny.

The Dutch strike first.
Ok, so Belgium won't be playing for the world cup in South-Africa, but the Dutch are and I like them. And I like this Nike commercial, and the music by Daily Bread.

The Good Kind.
Never underestimate Twilight as a marketing tactic - just ask NYC drug dealers!!!Source: Perez Hilton
Heroin baggies, featuring a cartoon Robert Pattinson, were recently seized in West Hempstead, Long Island, yet the Twilight brand drugs have been gaining popularity all over the east coast.
According to New York Special Agent in Charge John Gilbride, a dime bag of heroin in New York is cheaper than a six pack of beer, so look out for the children!
MMMMM, that's some good Twilight I just shot in my veins.

I know the Jonas Bros. are lame, but this little flick is kinda funny, if they'd keeping making music like that maybe less people would hate them, and Disney would inspire less teenage pregnancies. ZING!

Lamebook
It seems social networking sites make people even more stupid, it sucks away intelligence. Then again most of the people on there are American, so there wasn't a lot to suck away, still it's nice for us to enjoy what stupidities are written on let's say Facebook. And thank God Lamebook collects them for us.
