Finally, I can watch porn at work with confidence!

It was bound to happen some day. Sexy Clube, an adult website in Brazil, has developed a mirror that attaches to your computer, letting you see if anyone is behind you while you...uh...you know. Thanks to the folks at this fantastic blog for this hot tip on internet safety.

New video from Benîot Pioulard

Portland artist Benoît Pioulard has a new video out for "A Woolgathering Exodus" from his last album Temper, which was release back in October, 2008. I'm new to Pioulard's stuff but so far me likey mucho. The video uses some sweet, but simple animation and the song is a rich folky treat. You can watch it here. Below, is an earlier video for "Ragged Tint," another song off the same album:

Nite Club just released their new album, My Tronic. I have not listened to the whole thing yet but here is a pretty sweet cover of Kanye West's "Good Life" off of it. The video is kind of cool on its own actually:

Santigold and some good old Southern love

Hey, remember back in 2004 when Dangermouse put out the Grey Album and everybody freaked out? I sure do. Since then, there have been many similar scandles, the latest of which would be DJ Terry Urban's new mash-up, Southerngold. Stereogum reported this week that Urban has taken Santigold's self-titled album and remixed it with some of his favorite Southern hip-hop. I was excited so I gave it a listen. Not quite as amazing as I thought it would be, but still a very good time. If you want it however, the only avenues available for obtaining it at this time are the one of questionable legality (i.e. some good ol' fashioned internet piracy).

RIP Jeff Hanson 1978-2009

In an email from Kill Rock Stars:

"We are deeply shocked and saddened to report that Kill Rock Stars artist Jeff Hanson passed away on June 5, 2009 in his home, a victim of a terrible accident. Jeff has been a part of the KRS family since 2003 when he became the first artist signed to the label from an unsolicited demo."

No word on what the accident was, but all I can say is that the world lost another great artist. My thoughts will be with his family, friends and everyone at KRS.

Someone explains sex. Finally!

This is what middle school would have been like if my WASPy school district hadn't made us take sex ed from our clearly incompetent gym teacher. Thankfully this lady explains way more about sex than I could ever want know, and all within ten minutes!

Favorite quote: "Now her mind ain't no good because the penis done ejaculated all in her brain."

Lady Sovereign-Concert review pics

Earlier this week our very own Jason Chastain ventured out to the Doug Fir where he witnessed the glory of a Lady Sov who was "about as drunk as [he] was." In addition to shouting along with the diminutive MC and consuming a large amount of mixed drinks, Chastain was able to snap the following lo-res-tastic shots.

Enjoy!
