The FUN SONG, but of course!

Best part ever? The Spartans jumping in the background. It's a great little shout out to "This Spartan Life".

We need something nice and smooth here. It's been kind of a drag of a week, and it's just Wednesday! Who better to groove to than Marvin Gaye.

"What's Going" is one of the most perfect "artivist" protest songs ever created. And it is a work of art, so much so, that the Gaye's record label rejected it as being uncommercial.

I love the song because the lyrics and music are almost trance like, turning subverting the radical antiwar message of the song. It's almost subliminal the way the grooves hook you while the words slip into the unconscious.

It's as if Gaye becomes with this song an R&B shaman.

I wish I knew who took this photograph of the Belligerent Four. This is not just a photo. It is a metaphor for the Bush Administration.

And, by the way, if you want to know all about The Decepticons, go to Wikipedia.

And, people, can we skip the voting and ceremonies and just give the Transformers' Visual and Sound Effects teams the 2008 Oscar?

Okay?

K.

Oh.

My.

God.

Ok, so I know there's girls out ther that are totally into action movies; but ... maaaaaan. My boys and I just had to wipe the drool off our mouths after we saw this trailer. Actually, they got pretty spooked but I was like totally,

OOOOH!

AWESOME!

THAT ROCKS!

I can't wait for this movie to come out. Seriously. And I really don't care much if it has a story or not.

Who gives a damn about plot when the story is in how they created the "live action" looking robots?

And the sounds effects!

Duuuuuuuude! Can you dig the sound effects?!?!?!

Don't be reading this. Henry Rollins is on IFC right now. His regular show starts 11 PM EST tonight. But before that IFC is airing a show he did in Israel. Both funny, crazy and an interesting American Jewish Punker view of Israel. If you are online right now, STOP and turn on IFC, NOW!!! Rollins rocks and he tells it like it is with both naivete and cynicism in a bizarre but mesmerizing mix. Watch it...now!
