Guitar Hero Showdown: Unlike the other people who write for this blog, I'm much better at watching people play video games than actually participating. In this clip, comedian David Cross (not really caring in that "I'm too cool for this" comedian way) and newly reunited Dinosaur Jr.'s J. Mascis (not really caring in that apathetic, possibly-stoned, '90s indie rock way) duel it out on a white plastic guitar. Not as entertaining as it could have been, but Cross' closing words make it worthwhile.

Stephen Colbert Wants an iPhone, Damnit: Just to keep the iPhone/anti-iPhone debate going on this site. I wonder where Colbert will fall once he gets a phone that actually exists.

Michel Gondry on Da Cribbage: Don't know if this one's for everyone.
Cribs parodies stopped being funny about the time I stopped collecting Pokemon cards, but for anyone else who thought
The Science of Sleep was too much cool Gondry stop motion and not enough plot and character, this is a worthy send-up. "This ees my refridgerator. Eet ees cold because I made it when a woman broke mah heart."
