Video

I can't do this video justice with a witty description, so I'm going to give you the official hate filled youtube description.

I see a lot of you are still rascist agianst Furries. i will have to leave this video up in hope that someone lerns from your mistakes. You are the ones going to HELL for your bigitry.
THIS IS WHAT A FURRY REALY IS

UPDATE:
Your all just proven my point with your angry responses. Your racisct and ignorent A-holes who cant juyst let a peace loving comunity enjoy there live and have equality wih all other races of people. you make me sick  [via youtube]

The thing that amazes me the most about this video is that the kid's dad is just sitting there listening to all this like it's no big deal.  Although to be fair the kid doesn't implicitly state that the individual lounging behind him listening to him wax poetic about all things furries is in fact his dad, so maybe it's just a furry friend. 

One other thing I love is the unbelievably terrible glare on the top half of the video.  If you're going to make a video to put on youtube wherein you explain the wild misconceptions that many people have about furries, I would think that part of your plan would be to make sure that the video was clearly viewable.  But then again if you are into furries I would imagine the best things are always hidden.  Sort of like how a donkey's penis is really big but you can't even see it until you get him excited.  Not that I know from experience or anything, but that's what the internet says.   [via buzzfeed]

After debuting Terrible Love, the first song off their new album High Violet, The National had a not so secret show in Brooklyn last night where they debuted some more material off the new album.  Here is the track Vanderlylle Cry Baby recorded by a fan last night at the show.  Doesn't really build into the standard anthemic tunes The National are so famous for but definitely continues the brooding.  [via pitchfork]

I hate to tease you on a Friday but it's not my fault.  Here is a bit from the upcoming episode of the unbelievably great Zach Galifianakis talk show Between Two Ferns featuring Ben Stiller.  Aside from Natalie Portman and Conan, this is probably the most excited I've been about a guest.  The entire "show" featuring Ben Stiller will premiere next Wednesday March 17th.  Just as an FYI there is some swearing but nothing you wouldn't expect from a conversation about porn titles and Meet The Fockers.

We're going to head on over to Spain for this week's Friday's Foreign Cover for a pretty awesome jazzed up version of Billy Joel's Just The Way You Are.   At first I thought it was a little excessive but that was just the intro. Unfortunately I stopped trying to speak spanish when I learned that saying "taco" gets food in my belly regardless of location, so I can't translate the following which explains who this is and what they are doing.

Deliciosa interpretacion del famoso Clasico por la Big Band Dukebbjazz dirigida magistramente por Kiko Berenguer

And there you have it.  Big Band Dukebbjazz doing the Billy Joel classic all the way from Spain.  Happy Friday everyone.

Originally I was under the impression I would be able to embed the video here but apparently it's just a stupid widget that will take you over to Snag Films where you can watch the movie.  You don't have to sign up or do anything fancy but it is annoying so for that I apologize.  Or is it too late to apologize?  It's too late.

If you have never seen Heavy Metal Parking Lot do yourself a favor and head on over there.  The film essentially just shows a bunch of people partying in the parking lot before a Judas Priest show, so it's not just a clever title.  The show takes place in Largo, Maryland in 1986 so you seriously best be prepared for that kind of awesome.  Seriously, listen to this borderline romantic description.

It is the quintessential ‘80s magnum opus, made complete with a vast display of muscle cars, spandex, bleach-blonde frizzy perms, bare-chested dudes, Mullets From Hell, faded denim metal chicks, and the largest collection of late ‘70s Camaros ever seen in one location. Virtually unknown to mainstream audiences for two decades, HMPL was a VHS bootleg favorite among musicians, movie stars and cult-video fanatics worldwide. 

If I had an assistant I would totally be demanding some PBR and my mullet wig.  For now I'll just have to settle with blasting some Judas Priest.  Take that neighbors!

It's pretty great when bands play different songs on different late night shows, instead of trying to force feed the single to fans.  I'm happy to report that Broken Bells agree with that sentiment as their appearance last night on Jimmy Fallon saw the group perform the track The Ghost Inside.  You may remember their recent visit to Letterman where they played their single The High Road.  Both songs are pretty great but you already knew that because you listened to the incredibly awesome album.  Rock.   [via the audio perv]

I don't know about you but I've been waiting nearly 20 years for someone to do a figure skating routine set to Nirvana's Smells Like Teen Spirit.  I'm sad Scott Williams didn't win the gold at the Olympics with this performance but apparently he's just an amateur, so that explains it.  Clearly if he was allowed in he would have won gold.  Just check out the barrel rolls at the 3:50 mark.  

Also killer flannel headband combo.  [via aziz is bored]

I swear this isn't secretly the location of the Jimmy Fallon fan club headquarters, but once again we go back to the well of awesome for last night's musical guest The National.  The band's upcoming album High Violet won't be released until May 11th but that didn't stop Matt Berninger and company from debuting the opening track Terrible Love. 

The song is pretty much exactly what one might expect from a new song from the band.  Moody intro that slowly builds into their standard frenetic organized guitar based chaos while lamenting "It takes an ocean not to break."  One thing for sure, it's officially time to increase your excitement level for High Violet.

As if the video wasn't proof enough, the band puts on a pretty great live show.   You can check them out at one of their many upcoming tourdates which include stops at Sasquatch! as well as Bonnaroo.  Tickets for most shows are available through Ticketmaster right here.  Dates are listed after the jump.   [via the audio perv]

More Awesome Stuff to Read

I'm sure when you read the title you thought you would be checking out a video with a homely middle aged woman playing with her cats and reciting lines from Speed.  Nope, just a weird guy with friends over that absolutely loses it after Sandra Bullock wins her Best Actress Oscar.  Holy berzerkers.

How is it that the friends are acting like this whole obsession is no big deal?  A panic attack during the announcement of nominees and then a subsequent gymnastics routine while screaming like the girliest girly man ever.  If this happened and I was there I would literally stab the guy with the closest available pointy thing in self defense, nobody should be subject to that amount of Bullock admiration. 

I absolutely adore how he ends the video saying he's happy she won or else it would have been awkward.  Yeah, that would have been awkward.  This not so much.

Also this is pretty much exactly how I felt when Sandra Bullock won, except the exact opposite.  [via buzzfeed]

The Everything Is Terrible gang is at it again with this glorious instructional video about levitation.  If you have ever wanted to really impress some people with some far out shit this is your chance.  Or you could just smoke a bunch of grass and write a poem detailing your love for the cosmos.  I'd probably stick with learning to levitate though, chicks dig it.
