Mash-Up

Well, hello, blog - long time no see.

Just thought I'd share this this fun track - this year's United States of Pop, a mash-up of the top 25 billboard hits of the year, created annually by DJ Earworm. I don't think this year's is quite as good as years previous, but it's damn catchy, and the video is great. Enjoy.

A Talented Actress

Taking advantage of coincidence, porn star Lisa Ann has played both Sarah Palin and Tina Fey in pornographic parodies of, respectively, Sarah Palin's life and 30 Rock. Check out the hilarious trailers below .

Who's Nailin' Paylin? (This trailer is completely safe for work.)


30 Rock: A XXX Parody (This trailer is less safe for work due to a few women in skimpy clothing and some swearing.)

Who knew they could get weirder?

The Decemberists are turning The Hazards of Love, their most recent album, into a super-trippy animated film. This should be interesting:

The Wire
