Shee-it! In addition to having an incredi-bad name, Yelawolf, the closest thing there is nowadays to Slim Shady LP era Eminem, is sick! Come catch what he’s got at Fortune Sound Club next Thursday, July 15th. Oh, you need more to go on than our word? Well, you can back that ass up to the beginning of this paragraph and click his name to go listen to mo’ shit at his MySpace page. Then buy your tickets online from the equally well-named Nightbat. We’ll be waiting here to tell you something along the lines of “told you so.” Ya heard?
Nuv once said that Souls of Mischief’s classic 93 ‘Till Infinity belongs on every summer playlist. This Sunday, July 11th, Jay Haddow & Captain Arthritis are gonna do him one better and catch the track at Fortune Sound Club (them again?!) LIVE!! Two choices: Buy tickets online at Clubzone, or in the flesh at Beat Street, Zulu, Underworld or Livestock, and dodge all regrets. Option 2 consists of fucking off and dying. And that’s when you lost…
Confession: ‘Congratulations,’ the new MGMT album, a 360 degree departure from ‘Oracular Spectacular,’ their colourful laissez-faire debut, took a while to grow on us. Good news – different can be amazing, and now it’s in solid rotation at R2AK HQ. Better news – they’re bringing their live show to the best venue in our fair city, the Commodore Ballroom on Saturday July 24th. Get your tickets here. Too late suckas. This thing has done Sold Out.

Jay-Z + Eminem x David Letterman = Rooftop Renegades. They’ve never been afraid to say what’s on their mind at any given time of day. 2:17? Bam. Swear word. 7:53? Boom. Coke reference.
Kermit’s voice. Bruce Lee’s shoes. The Black Beauty. A director who clearly does acid. Buzz on over and lay your peepers on ‘The Green Hornet’ trailer. When it realizes you aren’t a flower, it’ll leave you alone.
The trailer for ‘Red’ looks fun. With the average age of the cast though, ‘Grey’ would’ve been a more apt title, no?
A Prophet (Un Prophete). It looks awesome (Il paraît impressionnant).
Proof the internet has nothin’ but time on their hands: The Shining trailer re-cut to be less murder-y.

Hooray and congratulations to the well-deserved Emmy nods for two of our most beloved shows: the ridiculously funny ‘Modern Family’ & the ignored but terrific ‘Friday Night Lights.’
Now that it’s hot out, get inside and get fully freaked the f*%@ out playing Limbo for the Xbox 360.
Or get the heebie jeebies from Miss Teen USSR’s graphic accounts of being with child. Here, here, here, here, here, here, here aaaaand here.
Book a week off work and check out the first installment in Maxim Dalton’s Classic Film Genres posters – ‘The Spaghetti Western Inventory.‘ Next I hope he does ‘Renegade Cop Who Plays By His Own Rules, With By-The-Book Partner And Stern-But-Just Chief, Thrown Off The Force After Being Framed By Flat-topped-Foreign-Villain Who Now Must Prove His Own Innocence Inventory.’

Star Wars Portraiture in Lego. Where have these been all our lives?
It’s kitschy and dark and, for the most part, radder than rad. It’s Day of the Dead art.
