VIDEO: Enjoy a Little Vintage Arts & Crafts Time With Terry Gilliam

Happy Friday! What are you up to? Lunch? Drinks? Supply-room tryst with the intern? Wait, what? You’re working? Pffft!

Blink-182’s ‘Heart’s All Gone’: Back To Basics

Second song from band’s upcoming Neighborhoods album is equally indebted to both classic Blink and iconic West Coast punk. By James Montgomery Blink 182’s Mark Hoppus Photo: Jason Kempin/ Getty Images It’s easy to compare Blink-182 ‘s brand-new “Heart’s All Gone” with ” Up All Night ,” the first song they released off their upcoming Neighborhoods album, mostly because the similarities begin and end right there. They are both songs by the band, and they are both on the new record. Perhaps, then, it’s best to contrast the two songs, because they’re different in just about every conceivable way. “Up All Night” premiered with much fanfare — on the band’s site and L.A. radio station KROQ — and was greeted with much the same. “Heart’s All Gone,” on the other hand, bowed without much notice: just a quick link on Mark Hoppus’ Google Plus page that took you to a new website and a simple instruction to “Command the ‘A’ ” (or, if you’re on a PC, “CTRL + A”). Doing so on the new site, of course, revealed not only lyrics but the song itself. And that’s when the differences between the two tracks really become apparent. Because while “Up All Night” synthesized all of the band’s previous endeavors (Plus-44, Angels & Airwaves, Box Car Racer) into something entirely new, “Heart’s All Gone” does the complete opposite: It is very much a blast from the past — both Blink’s and the West Coast punk scene that birthed them. With its breakneck guitars, yelped vocals and cascading drums, it sounds like something taken from Blink’s 1997 Dude Ranch album (or ’01’s Take Off Your Pants and Jacket ), but at the same time, it also recalls classic West Coast churn and burn,

Older Men Who Could Have Gotten It Back In The Day

When asked to come up with a list of much older men, still breathing, who were fine in their heyday, it was immediately clear that I couldn’t do it alone. I was interested to know who my mother, now in her ’60s, was checking for way back when during her camel and mash potato-dancing days. We went back and forth, me naming names I had only seen in blaxploitation films and on Motown infomercials that come on late at night. She of course shut many of them down. Laughing at my suggestions of the guys from “Cooley High” and debating with me about why O.J. Simpson automatically disqualified himself from the list. So after flipping through album sleeves, recalling every black television show from the past and going through a ton of Google image pages, here is a list of living actors, musicians, athletes and more who may not be your cup of tea now (probably because they could be your grandpappy), but had all your mommas and grandmamas, swooning. If you don’t agree with the choices, you’ll have to take your issues up with moms. ( Continue reading… )

Pam Anderson’s Playboy Cover of the Day

No this isn’t a blast from the past, it is Pam Anderson holding onto the past, because the only thing that ever really did anything for her was her Playboy job, since then, it’s been all down hill, especially now. From Dancing with the Stars to being cast on some India Big Brother, she’s desperate, so seeing her photoshopped to shit like she’s not 50 years old with hepatitis is funny…but I don’t have the nude pics…Playboy is holding out on me because I guess they know everyone is gonna point and laugh when it hits on Friday, making this their biggest issue in a long time…but here are some cropped pics to give you a preview of what to expect…. The biggest joke in all this is that she wrote a poem to go with her bottom feeding. I didn’t read it, but I will post it…
