Just another day in Berkshire County.....

Reading the Berkshire Eagle (Western Mass' newspaper), you couldn't help but come across the headline titled Officer pulls gun to ward off attacker....what a joke right? You know nothing is going on in a city when the top headline is a police officer taking a gun off his waist. But patience pays off sometimes.....Keep reading, and you are rewarded most graciously. Taken straight from Eagle reporter Conor Berry:

After that, Boody dropped to the ground and started rolling around while Colello called for assistance. More officers arrived to help subdue Boody, who continued to thrash and kick as he was handcuffed.

Boody admitted to snorting a line of cocaine at a local bar prior to his arrest.

At some point during the evening, he said, he came to the aid of an injured deer on Valentine Road. Boody told officers that he "cuddled" the small deer because it was "crying" and claimed he was shot in the head with an arrow.

Police noticed a scratch on the right side of Boody's bald head but apparently never recovered an arrow. However, officers did recover quantities of cocaine in Boody's car and in his clothing, police said.

I mean, this is just bad journalism. If this article had been titled based on the victim's point of view rather than the officer's, this would be a national headline:

"Man high on cocaine attempts to assault officer at porn shop parking lot after alleged roadkill cuddling."

OK, I'm not gonna lie, this is probably my favorite band and its a shameless plug. Don't worry about it. This one is off the new EP (of the same name) that is gaining steam with alt-rock people everywhere. No video for this one, but here is the equally as good live version.

Death of Autotune?

Not yet......not yet.......

You can try as hard as you want, Jay Z, but there is one thing you cannot do. You cannot destroy Tallahassee Pain without a fight.

Next up in our newest segment, Grizzly Bear and their song "Two Weeks", ironically the amount of time it took us to follow up our first entry. There is a music video for this song, but it's kind of creepy and this performance they did last year on Letterman is too good not to post. Like what you hear/see? Veckatimest was released in May 2009 and is probably in our personal top 3 of 2009.

Sometimes you just have to take initiative....

We heard about this on the radio and had to investigate. The internet comes up big once again:



We all know times are tough. That means people all over the country are taking matters into their own.....thighs. Beer is expensive, gym memberships are expensive, sharing is expensive. Oversized house-coats and god-given ability: not expensive. We have to hand it to Lisa for covering all the bases on this play. Not only does she walk off with a rack of brews, she gives her thighs a workout no thigh-master could duplicate. I don't think anyone is going to want to drink any of those beers when she gets home, so the sharing part is taken care of too. She did get caught, but I'm pretty sure you don't need Bill to tell you what's in Lisa's fridge.

(Un?)necessary Rap Wednesdays

Introducing, BEP, pre-Fergie. On one level, you can say that Black Eyed Peas have turned into one of the hottest groups of the decade. On the other hand, in our own view, we have seen one of the finest underground hip-hop groups around re-invent themselves, and in the process, completely abandon their musical greatness with this one addition to the group (not to mention making the other members not named Will.I.Am and Fergie relatively insignificant). Behold, an old-school jam and amazing video that not too many know about, circa 1998:
