Reverse Suplex

Someone made a supercut trying to prove wrestling is fake, pointing out moments when players call audibles or apologize for botching a move. But anyone who puts this much love and attention into what they do can only be called a performance artist? So the end result is a much deeper appreciation for Wrestlemania than ever before.

got a math problem?

she gon' stomp it out. ShowYouSuck sure has a type. Shout out random Chicago parking lot mural.

Soul For Real

It's Friday. In some parts of the country, that's the only reason you need to catch up with mid-90s classic Candy Rain.

Lovely Day

To celebrate what may Chicago's last warm day of 2013, here's Vic Mensa's Lovely Day off the forthcoming INNANETAPE. Now go forth and cast this vibe over everything you do.

Fiona Apple - Hot Knife

Leaving this here so I can watch it later. Definitely my favorite song off last year's album.

2013 Summer Jam - Early Edition

Just cuz I missed Tink 'Fingers Up' in 2012 doesn't mean I need to repeat the same mistake in 2013. By the way, the visuals on this one are pure summertime Chi.

Get Lucky

Cuz, like, obviously. The smooth disco loops and Pharrell-as-lounge-singer work so well on this groove. Daft Punk 'Get Lucky' occupies the sweet spot between new never heard before, hot hot right now, and classic Daft Punk sheen. Looping on infinity, face turned to summer.

filed somewhere between hungry and nauseous

Empress Of - Champagne

Spencer Watson, Windless Kite Champion

By turns dorky and majestic as hell, this feels like the triumphant climax of an awkward kid's coming of age story. Words cannot express how fitting his choice of soundtrack is, an orchestral cover of Paint It Black.

Finding Vivian Maier

The thing that strikes me most about this trailer is how insistent these people are at revealing the 'true' Vivian. When they talk, it's clear that her secrecy - about her work, her obsessions, her private life - bothers them. It itches. For many people, preference for anonymity is difficult to grasp. There is this idea that everyone, especially artists, especially talented ones, should strive for renown. That a genius might prefer to live in obscurity seems to work in direct opposition to the concept of 'genius'. Maier presents a challenge to that, and so the project of this movie - discovering her - takes on an aggressive, almost peeved tone. She owes us, the trailer seems to say. She owes us the truth about her. Which bothers me, because of course she doesn't.

You Need a New Man

"Ladies, if your man's Ja Rule impression sounds too much like his Mystikal impression? Get a new man." Mottos for life via The Hairpin, natch.

This Is Grand

...doors open on the right at Grand.

Lee Crooks is the voice of the CTA. Here you see him hard at work, perfecting his tone and pronunciation to make sure tourists, idiots and the blind don't miss their stops. As the website where I found this pointed out, "the look of disappointment on Crooks face the first time he says “Roosevelt Road” at 0:13 is the stuff of legends. Just so mad at himself."

Special Thanks to Dungeons and Dragons

A short video parable on the importance of friends. (vis Musashi Mix Inq)

Countdown

Beyonce + Snuggies has never made so much sense.

When you're done with this, check out the side-by-side comparison to the official video. What a meticulous LOL (Labor of Love). What a spot-on parody. What an incredible jungle-themed living room.

17-car garage isn't really a unit of garage, is it?

Big Sean - Guap. Shout out to T-Breeze on the steel drums tip.

Get Paid

JDott Trife feat. LEP Bogus Boys - Get Paid

Hot Cheetos & Takis

For all my snackers out there, YNRichKids got what you need.

Dream Day

Solange Knowles - Losing You.

Despite the sad(ish) lyrics, these guys look like they're having the best day with their friends. Also, Solange's dance moves? Yes, please.
