September 30, 2010
JT and JF do a pretty amazing job condensing 31 years of rap into four minutes on the Sept. 29 edition — which, by the way, featured Belle and Sebastian doing the title track for their upcoming album, “Write About Love.” StaticBlog will post as soon as it’s available.

Video of the Day: P—ed Jeans, “False Jesii, Part 2″
September 29, 2010
The mode of armchair art criticism I hate the most, and I hate it more than I hate many things, is the assertion that “Hell, I could do that.”
Yeah, but you didn’t. Last night, you watched an “According to Jim” rerun.

“Mad Men” Recap, 409: “The Beautiful Girls”
September 23, 2010
Well, so much for the chaste, “That’s as far as I can go right now” Don Draper, but our anti-hero is still the guy we met in “The Summer Man” — fighting his way back, regaining his power. And that’s a good thing, because he needs full control of his faculties with the fecal storm brewing in this... Read More

“Mad Men” Recap, 408: “The Summer Man”
September 13, 2010
“The Summer Man” refers to a man waking up, leaving the New York Athletic Club after swimming and announcing that he could smell the warm season, his olfactory nerves lighting up for the first time in a while, and while the corn smell is probably a faint memory of Dick Whitman’s childhood on the farm, the...

Video: Sunday Lane singing “Find Your Way”
September 10, 2010
Tulsa native Sunday Lane met with me shortly after her EP release this summer and to film a song with her brother. I just got around to posting the results.
Lane goes to school in Florida so she won’t be playing in Oklahoma any time soon, but keep her on your radar. She has a lot of potential and she can sing... Read More

“Mad Men” Recap: 406, “Waldorf Stories”
September 07, 2010
Don Draper always excelled at being who he needed to be. It was a survival instinct that went back to the days of the Great Depression, when Dick Whitman learned the hobo code, that important way of finding out where a drifter would be welcome. These days, he is drifting more than ever as his Clio victory turns... Read More

The Bay Area band goes through the season cycle in this video for their maddeningly memorable single from “Big Echo” — a song that will land more hooks in you than an exploding tackle box.

“Mad Men” Recap: 407, “The Suitcase”
September 07, 2010
“The Suitcase” moves our storyline several months into the future: it is May 25, 1965, the night of the Muhammad Ali-Sonny Liston fight, and it seems everyone at SCDP is betting on Liston, even though in his previous fight against then-Cassius Clay in February 1964, Liston stopped the fight in the seventh...

Video of the Day: Das Racist, “Who’s That? Brooown!”
September 02, 2010
Himanshu Suri, Victor Vazquez and Ashok Kondabolu drop some 8-bit wisdom (well, maybe not wisdom, but certainly hilarity) in this Atari 5200 or TRS-80-level game-oriented video. You’re going to be singing the refrain all day, and you’re going to hate StaticBlog for it. Well, more.
