‘The Sciences': Sleep’s First Album in 20 Years
Stoner metal band Sleep released the genre’s definitive text in 1998, when Dopesmoker made its way to the world. Now, Sleep is back, with their first full-length release in 20 years. And naturally, The Sciences has come to us all on 4/20, when more people listen to Sleep than any other day of the year. I dunno what to […]

Baskin-Robbins Dunkin’ Donuts Ice Cream
Dunkin-Donuts and Baskin’ Robbins — sorry, Dunkin’ Donuts and Baskin-Robbins — have joined forces for not one, not two, but three new flavors of coffee-flavored ice cream. And Baskin-Robbins Dunkin’ Donuts ice cream is coming to a grocery store (hopefully) near you sometime this spring. Interestingly, you won’t be able to get Baskin-Robbins Dunkin’ Donuts ice […]

“Nothing Compares 2 U” Original Studio Version by Prince Released (Video)
Yesterday I gave word about a new project from the Prince estate to annotate the Purple One’s entire recorded discography. At the time, I thought that was the coolest Prince-related thing to come out that day, but that was only because I hadn’t yet heard about the release of Prince’s original studio recording of “Nothing […]

Lemon Lime & Cucumber Sprite Coming to the UK
There’s a magnificent Jewish-style deli near my apartment, and I often go there for a sandwich when the mood strikes. One aspect of the deli experience I have not yet tried is cucumber soda, specifically Dr. Brown’s Cel-Ray, which is considered by purists to be the perfect accompaniment to a pastrami sandwich. I might be […]

‘Onnanocos x Micro Drone': Short One-Take Film Shot by a Drone (Video)
Most footage I’ve seen collected by drone cameras has that distinct “this is a drone camera” feeling. But there’s a new short film that was shot in one take with a micro-drone that actually looks pretty good, it out-Steadicams Steadicam in many ways. It’s called Onnanocos x Micro Drone. Onnanocos x Micro Drone is a superb act […]

‘Yo! MTV Raps’ is Coming Back in June
2018 marks the 30th anniversary of the classic MTV series Yo! MTV Raps. Since MTV is still around, and rapping is still around, and shouting “yo!” is (nominally) still around, you’d have to be completely nuts to think a revival of the show isn’t on the way. And so it is, and here’s a partial guest list: […]

‘Captain Planet’ Streaming for Free on Boomerang for Earth Day
April 22nd is Earth Day, and there are lots of way you can commemorate this. You can plant a tree, dig a lake, breathe some fresh air while you still can, and so on. Or you could stay in your apartment watching old episodes from the first season of Captain Planet and the Planeteers, which you can now […]

Prince Discography Annotated by the Prince Estate
Prince has one of the densest discographies of any recent artist, and truth be told most people only know the core biggies: Dirty Mind through Sign o’ the Times, with maybe the Batman soundtrack album thrown in for good measure. The Prince estate recently unveiled a new way to explore Prince’s famous discography, and will hopefully encourage a few fans to […]

‘Castlevania: Grimoire of Souls’ Coming to Apple Devices
Mobile gaming is making its way to dreaded Castlevania and Count Dracula sometime in the near future. It’s called Castlevania: Grimoire of Souls, an upcoming mobile game coming to iOS devices sometime soon. Right now, the game is going into “closed beta” testing in its native Japan, but hopefully a wider roll-out is supposed to be […]

KFC Hot & Spicy Photoshop Campaign
There’s something about the idea of fried chicken visually resembling explosive combustion that isn’t exactly appetizing to me, personally. But far be it for me to second-guess the latest ad campaign from KFC and advertising agency Ogilvy & Mather Hong Kong, especially since this KFC Hot & Spicy Photoshop campaign is probably one of the least bizarre […]
