Everybody knows we have the best POTUS since ever, and don’t even try to front cuz you know it’s true.

Some new pics of O-Beez just dropped, and it only confirms what we already knew: that the president is a mack. A master game slanger on permanent g status worldwide. Every girl’s secret fantasy boy and every dude’s insecure nightmare wrapped up into one.

Read through this yearbook note and tell me you don’t feel bad for our boy Greg. He didn’t have a chance, son. And he probably knew it, too. Greg, if you somehow read this, please hit us up. Tell us what happened that fateful summer when Barry stole. yo. girl.

Some key points:
1) POTUS aka Mr. LetMeBorrowYoGirl plays up the gee-shucks dumb-game. He’s not coming off overly intimidating. That charming, water-off-a-duck’s-back cool factor that some guys are straight born with. Take note.

2) He drops compliments that aren’t creepy, austere, or in any way over the line. Just the right amount “girl I like you”.

3) Throws up them digits! No numbers were exchanged here. POTUS gracefully backs out of the game and leaves the decision in her hands, and he plays it so well that it looks effortless. POTUS obvi wants to hook it up, but his world isn’t gonna come crashing down if it doesn’t. Girls love that. Perfect levels of confidence. 10/10 would take the president’s advice again.

All you young lovers getting ready for the summertime sesh take note. Get on that Beezy game, and you’ll wake up with a smile on your face all day, every day all summer long (summer long summer long)

GIORGIO MORODER – YOUR DISCO LIFE from Jay Buim on Vimeo.

Giorgio Moroder sat down for an interview recently, and revealed how he turns out wave after wave of sexy synth beatz.

“But wait!”, you say. “The author of this post intentionally misled us and that’s not Giorgio!”, you say.

Yeah, I know it’s not really Giorgio Moroder, but I think it’s a clever impression of the man, and it’s great to see people actually pay attention to him after disco bit the fucking dust 30+ years ago. Yeah, he was an amazing film score composer, as well, but it’s his disco output that’s finally getting some retro-cool recognition via Daft Punk and their latest album.

If you watched the Creator Series with actual Giorgio Moroder prior to the release of Random Access Memories, you’ll probably get where the dudes in the above video got their ideas. Moroder is a legitimate disco legend, but he’s kinda been relegated to obscurity since disco’s hard and fast death. His being cast back into the limelight really underscores the fact that he’s 73-years old. Don’t get me wrong, I love the guy, but he’s kind of just like…I don’t know…a grandfatherly Moog-wizard at this point. And when a grandfatherly Moog-wizard DJs his very first set in the year 2013, it crosses over from charming resurgence of popularity, to that feeling you get when you see a cool-dad blasting a yesteryear trap banger from his recently-leased Camaro.

I feel all the love in the world for Mr. Moroder, but this hilarious parody mirrors my sentiments perfectly

This Thursday is another Retard Strength. It’ll be good. I’m DJing with No Bra, Lauren Dillard from Creep, Alanna Nualla from Moon, and Aaron Pfenning from Chairlift. Here’s the Facebook event page.

Here are photos from the last one. It started out as a thrash show and ended up as a rap party.

Nick Stahl is one of the most interesting young actors working today. Period. While he might not carry as much weight as the rest of the youth’s cream like Michael Pitt or Paul Dano, Stahl has nailed some seriously amazing, challenging roles like Bobby Kent in Bully, John Connor in T3, and the dying Beade in The Thin Red Line. He also starred in HBO’s Carnivàle. And now he’s been missing for a goddamn week. TMZ reports:

Stahl’s wife filed a missing person’s report with the L.A.P.D. on Monday … saying she last saw the 32-year-old actor on May 9. Sources tell TMZ … it is believed Stahl had been frequenting the Skid Row area of Downtown Los Angeles recently … and there are concerns he may have gotten himself involved in some bad stuff. Back in February, Nick’s wife had filed court papers, expressing serious concerns that Nick may be using drugs … and sources say she fears drugs may have something to do with his disappearance. (via TMZ)

The bony hand of death snatches in threes – recently hooking MCA and Maurice Sendak – so I really hope Stahl’s disappearance has a happy ending. He’s had a lot of ups and downs career-wise, but when given the proper role, Stahl is scary good. Anyone who thinks Florida is all newlyweds and nearly deads should watch Bully, and quake in cold disgust at his role as Bobby Kent. Here’s hoping he’s found or makes it home safe, and gets the help he needs.

I tripped across some new Nardwuar interviews from SXSW. He interviewed a bunch of the rising rappers there, from Action Bronson, to Danny Brown, to ASAP Mob and Kendrick Lamar. As usual he conducted thorough research, and knows his shit, because he asks a ton of obscure questions, with extremely specific references to things the band members have in their past. It’s kinda creepy, and amazing.

A lot of the time brings a gift of vinyl to give to the person he is interviewing. Like when he gives Action Bronson a 3rd Bass Remix album, or like when he points out to Kreayshawn where she is shouted out by her mom, on the liner notes of a punk EP. Nardwuar knows his bands, and the history of the scene. Check it out. Nardwuar: the most all knowing man in music since who knows when.

The news just got out yesterday that uncanny character actor Leonardo Cimino died earlier this month due to chronic obstructive pulmonary disease. He lived a helluva life though – making it all the way to 94 years old. Appearing in a ton of films and stage productions, I’ll always remember him as “Scary German Guy” from the Monster Squad, aka the guy who taught me what “virgin” means. He also had an important role in the original television miniseries of V.

Cimino also had roles in David Lynch’s Dune as the fat slob Baron Harkonnen’s doctor, Woody Allen’s analyst in Stardust Memories, and, in his final role, William in Sidney Lumet’s 2007 underrated crime flick Before the Devil Knows You’re Dead. RIP Cimino. There’s always time for more pie in heaven.

Probably a bit late on this but whatevz. Seriously the best (and only oen i’ve stopped what I was doing to have to see) cellphone hack EVR! Also great promo for the new season of Mad Men… hmmmmmmmmmm.

Rest of the pics here, but alas only one actual boobie pic :(

The Basedgod was the cover story in this month’s edition of UK based music magazine Wire, delivering another massive dose of the strange and arresting personality we’ve come to expect. The second I saw Brandon McCartney on the cover of a legitimate magazine, that thing was a sure thing purchase. His interviews are just as interesting (and strikingly similar) to his Based freestyles, though this one hit one some interesting stuff I hadn’t really heard from him before.

First thing’s first, you’ll definitely get all of the weird B you could want, with half-baked-or-maybe-we-just-don’t-get-it platitudes about knowledge, godliness, race, linguistics, lineage, and the rap game. Interesting, sure, but I coulda gotten that from BasedgodVelli or Rain In England. The really good part is the businessman side of B you get here, where he’s talking about contracts and how he deals logistically with producers and how he wants you to be able to buy his albums at Target n shit. I guess I just assumed he didn’t think about that shit. He also talks a lot about his upcoming “debut album.” Lol. Anyway, you should just track down the issue and read the article. It’s real based.

Does that look like the face of someone who could mistakenly wipe out an entire alien race? Apparently so, for 14-year-old Asa Butterfield has been cast as Ender Wiggins in the upcoming adaptation of Ender’s Game, the classic sci-fi novel written by frothing, homophobic lunatic Orson Scott Card. Since its publication in 1985, there’s been a plethora of failed attempts to adapt it for the big screen, but in 2009 Odd Lot Entertainment got the ball rolling and brought on director Gavin Hood (X-Men Origins: Wolverine haha).

For those unfamiliar with Card’s book, Ender’s Game is about a bunch of kids who are sent to a military training academy for geniuses. Despite being a shrimp, Ender Wiggins is the star student. He begins leading his classmates in simulation exercises and mock battles against the Buggers, humanity’s greatest threat. It’s a kickass novel, although I prefer Card’s follow-up, Speaker for the Dead.

Ender’s Game is currently scheduled for a March 2013 release date but you can see Mr. Butterfield do his thing next weekend in Scorsese’s upcoming family film Hugo.

<Fanfic> It was the beginning of the new schoolyear, and all of the Hogwarts students were gathered in the great hall, giddy with excitement at the prospect of the impending semester. Harry and Hermione were sitting at the Gryffindor table, doing lame shit like drinking non-alcoholic beverages and doing spells that don’t kill things or start fires. “Where’s Ron,” asked Harry, like a wang-nimbus.

All of a sudden Ron swaggered in with his arms around two girls from, I dunno, whatever the hot house is, decked out head to toe in Мишка gear and smoking a blunt and shit. “Ron Weasley, what have you gotten into?” said Hermione and she was all blushing or whatever cuz she was feeling it. “I founded this new Hogwarts house yo, House Мишка,” replied Ron. “Our sorting hat is a New Era fitted and our ghost is ODB. Who wants to come get high and watch Troma movies and be based?”

And everyone did so everyone left the other Hogwarts houses. Then Voldemort was over being evil so he came to hang out at House Mishka too but he couldn’t keep his shit together and he booted after doing a magical kegstand. The other kids drew magical weiners on his face with their wands after he passed out and the realm of witches and wizards was happy forever after. </Fanfic>
