Thank you to Benjamin for the heads up on this.

Saaaaaaaaap?

Girl Talk

Depending on your view of copyrights, pirated tunes and mashups, you will either love or hate his new album. Download it here.

But most of all, avoid the embarrassment of claiming the album's opening lick is Jethro Tull when it's really Black Sabbath by checking out this link full of flowing data regarding the DJ's use of samples song by song.

Anheuser-Busch to offer 500,000 free Budweisers

That's right. As reported in bizjournals.com, Anheuser-Busch plans to offer 500,000 free Budweisers at bars and restaurants in the hope of attracting more drinkers among the under-30 crowd. This is AB's largest ever national free sample effort. The reason for this, and this is astounding to me: Only 4 out of 10 people in their mid 20's have tried Budweiser. TRY. Budweiser used to flow quite freely during my HS and college days. Friends and colleagues would agree. In fact, a few of the staff members may wish they didn't have as many Budweisers at the staff retreat last weekend. It just makes me wonder what everyone else has been drinking? Craft beers (jvining)? Keystone? -- I guess that is understandable given the age demographic. But to reach your mid 20's and not even try a Budweiser is un-American to me.

I hope that people take advantage of this wonderful opportunity. I know TCD staff members will be on it and provide information on which local watering holes will be serving cold Buds during "National Happy Hour" on September 29.

Delayed Weekend Inspiration

Chromeo - The Right Type

This sounds like a song I'd hear in the back of my mom's woody wagon after being excused, early, from pre-school for pissing my khakis back in '86. Sweet track.

Check out Chromeo's new "Business Casual" album.

Memorial Day Tunes

I never really ripped a lot of Grateful Dead albums during my wee days - however, I never objected to hearing them in the background. Winona counselors were not afraid to crank a nice Dead tape on the way to Chocorua Mtn with a shitload of Juniors hopped up on fruit leather, in the back, yelling about god-knows-what. Good times.

Enjoy the track:

Revisionist History

Some "folks" in Texas are longing for the stoneage. A gaggle of ultra-conservative Evangelicals have gained control of the Texas Education Board and are looking to make some changes to the curriculum in the state public school system. What are these changes you ask? Welp, there will be plenty of discussion about god, guns and the benefits of McCarthyism with minimal focus on science, the civil rights movement and Thomas Jefferson - other than denouncing his idea of separation of church and state. The article says that liberals across the country are alarmed. Yeah, well, shouldn't everyone but these people be alarmed? This idea and these people seem pretty fuuuucked. Glad the Texas public school system is breeding tomorrow's American Taliban. Maybe this subject will be tackled in season 5 of Friday Night Lights with Joe McCoy leading the munson movement. I don't do this justice. Read the full article here.

Tebow Follow-up

Tim, you're a better and more accomplished man than me, but you also make yourself an easy target. We last told you about Tim's paltry Wonderlic Exam result, now we're getting some sweet intel from Pro Football Talk on Tim's pre-Wonderlic ritual. Check it here. Hilarious.

God Wants Tim Tebow to be a Bank Teller

Maybe? If Tim Tebow did not possess football skill worthy of being an NFL prospect, his natural trade according to his 22/50 score on the Wonderlic Exam, would be a bank teller (not that thats a bad thing, although getting 44% on anything usually indicates massive dumbass). Tebow, one of the more obnoxious athletes willing to drop a shameless plug for Jesus Christ at the sight of a microphone, received the worst score out of the top four NFL QB prospects in this year's draft. Douche #2 Jimmy Clausen edged out Tebow with a smooth 23/50 which might allow him to unload the Brink's truck if he snaps a femur.

Luckily for Tebow, the Wonderlic Exam really means a whole lot of nothing as an indication for what an NFL career will look like. 49ers QB Alex Smith scored a 40/50 and the rumor is that the Niners might be looking to replace him with Tebow. Accomplished QBs like Dan Marino, Jim Kelly and Donovan McNabb received 15,15, and 14, respectively. 10/50 means you can read.

I'll give Tebow some credit. Obviously he is a smart guy. Just look at his 3.66 GPA at The University of Florida in his double major of Economic Theory and Comparative Foreign Policy. Sorry. Typo. I meant his major in Family, Youth and community services.

How to Make It in America

New HBO series with loads of potential. From the producers of "Entourage" comes "How to Make It In America," a story about twenty somethings and their entrepreneurial adventures in NYC. Somewhat of a cliche premise, but after watching the pilot, I trust that HBO will keep it from being a formulaic, Horatio Alger story. Find it on HBO, Sunday night's, 10pm. Trailer below.
