Gather round everybody! Summertime is here! Yay! So clear out your iPod because you’re not going to need anything else on it this summer apart from this one track, the one track that could well change the face of popular music with its incredible catchy melody and lyrics—and its charismatic singers that make Rihanna look like a grey day in winter.
Since the birth of jazz and blues, music has always propagated its own subcultures, and with the rise of the teenager in the 50s, the two have become synonymous—giving people who feel like outsiders in the mainstream a place to belong. Even in the niche-ridden world we live in today where subcultures come and go like memes, some still have a lasting impact.
Doing your girlfriend’s makeup would be easy, right? It’s just like painting, surely? That’s probably the attitude of most guys if they were asked to decorate their woman’s face with foundation and lipstick and concealers and all those other esoteric items guys really don’t know anything about. But, who’d a thunk it, it’s not that easy to do, it’s actually really difficult which, as one of these guys says, is why women take so long to get ready.
Comedian Louis C.K once joked that acting students who ask celebrities a question on ‘Inside The Actors Studio’ would never go on to be famous themselves, it just wouldn’t happen. But Bradley Cooper, who starred with Louis in American Hustle, did just that, once appearing on the show (way back in 1999 when he looked like a flock of seagulls surfer dude) to ask Sean Penn a question. So it could be interpreted that Bradley Cooper’s entire career has been conceived and carried out to burn burn Louis CK. You can watch the beautifully constructed irony in this clip.
Are you prepared for American rappers Buckwheat Groats and Tom Hanks to take a giant shit on your life? Because that’s what’s about to happen if you press play on the embed above. After bigging up the Big star and praising his excellence, the rap duo then liken themselves to their hero, proclaiming their the Tom Hanks of the rap game.
No one can doubt that John McClane is tough, taking down terrorists is practically his day job, but even though he fights his way through explosions and bad guys in every Die Hard movie he still manages to come away with little more than a dirty vest. He should be grateful the laws of science don’t apply to Hollywood, because otherwise the movies would need to be set inside a hospital.
If Superman existed in the 21st century, chances are he’d slap on a GoPro and fly through Metropolis showing off what he can do and then put it up on YouTube to show those extreme sports pussies how it’s really done. But unfortunately Superman doesn’t exist in the 21st century, he doesn’t exist in any century.
If you were ever in doubt as to how meticulous and pedantic the director of The Royal Tenenbaums is, then look no further than this video from Kogonada—who specializes in making videos about directors’ tropes and signatures—in which Anderson’s obsession with symmetry is laid clear.
As if NDT couldn’t get any cooler, now someone’s gone and taken a video of him praising Sir Isaac Newton and slowed it down so the great man sounds like he’s just spent the weekend in Colorado toking on a vaporizer—and the fact that he starts to then go on to talk about, like, rainbow’s man and how like all those colors together gives you white light. It’s just perfection. Like whoah, science is freaky maaan.
The surreal weirdness you see before you is the work of Dutch directors Job, Joris & Marieke—and it features the cutest characters you’re likely to come across today. The animation is for Happy Camper’s track The Daily Drumbeat, a bouncy number which hides the threatening lyric: ‘The drumbeat will beat you up’.
Time to buckle up and make sure you are wearing clean underwear – If you manage not to wince throughout this entire video, then you are made of stern stuff, because there are a lot of near misses caught on camera—many of them from dashcams—where people and animals nearly meet their maker but somehow manage to come out unscathed.
