#MusicMonday: Polkadot Cadaver - Last Call In Jonestown

What more could I ask for? A Band I like has written a song about a subject that piqued my interest -- Jonestown.



Jonestown wasn't what initially got my interest, but it just so happed to be the destination of my question. My original inquiry was about the origin of the phrase "drinking the Kool-Aid", which if you didn't know is a reference to over 900 Americans killing themselves with a poisoned fruit drink in the South American country of Guyana.

Now, I could go on and just regurgitate "fun facts" from the Jonestown Wikipedia entry and a PBS documentary (which I'll post below), but I'll let you get as lost as you want in the subject. It's a wild and tragic tale my friends.

Ohmori Masatoshi Rides Motorcycles Very Well [Video]

I may not be an expert on all, or even some, things motorcycle related but I know when something looks like it should be possible and when it shouldn't. It seems like Ohmori Masatoshi doesn't care about what I think might be possible and goes about his daily routine of ruling on his motorcycle -- like a boss.


Drifting, sliding, grinding, and owning. The Honey Badger doesn't give a shit because he took lessons from Ohmori Masatoshi.

Swiss Army Keyring Hack

Keys are total chaos. Little chunks of oddly shaped metal free to do what they will on a circular piece of metal which every person has an urge to put dumb chachkies onto. It's madness. Do not fret though because with some tools and knowledge, or a friend with tools and knowledge, there is a better way.

What if you had a swiss army style knife which instead of housing what the Swiss need to fight their numerous enemies, but all your essential keys housed in a locked down and organized way. The Neistat Brothers, who I guess have or had a show on HBO, give a quick and dirty overview of how your swiss army keyring is hacked together.



I would like to do this myself, but the landlord would be pissed over me mutilating all my keys and making all those copies would be kinda spendy. Oh well, it's still cool as hell.

The Footnotes Of The PS4 'Meeting' [Video]

If you happened to miss the Sony Playstation meeting press conference thing yesterday and are dreading the slog through all the stuff you heard is boring, irrelevant, and pie in the sky hype talk have no worries because Matt Lees from VideoGamerTV reduces the BS to pure facts.


On a personal note if Sony pulls off half the shit they laid out yesterday on the PS4 it will be a miracle and the console will be amaze-balls. That's coming from a guy who still thinks the PS3 is too expensive.

#MusicTuesday - KIRI KIRI KIRI - TAKYON (DEATH GRIPS COVER)

The Finnish YouTuber Finowa has posted a cover of  the the song Takyon by the band Death Grips under the banner of his group Kiri Kiri Kiri. Now I am no rap aficionado, just look at all the #MusicMonday posts to verify that, but every once in awhile the stars align and I get into a 'rap' track -- if you can still call this track rap after Kiri Kiri Kiri got done with it. What do I know! Enjoy!


To get more Kiri Kiri Kiri check out their Facebook page, and to see Finowa cover songs on his guitar/drums/bass/vocal chords/whatever else he plays check out his You Tube page.
