To say I've been pumping this song at a rapid clip, would be an understatement. I may or may not have converted this to an mp3 and been rocking it everywhere I go.. I can't say for sure. All I know is, this jam is the greatest thing to hit the internet since this.
The DuckTales Theme Song Gets Transformed Into an R&B Slow Jam
The folks over at Postmodern Jukebox have a knack for reimagining old standards in new ways, but their latest cover is especially delightful: a rendition of the DuckTales theme song, spiced up with some masterful vocals and a sensual, slowed-down backing band.
The cover is part of the group's Saturday Morning Slow Jam series,
which takes old-school cartoon songs and infuses them with '90s R&B.
And if their take on DuckTales isn’t enough for your daily nostalgia fix, check out their version of the Pokemon theme.

Hey give him credit, he saw an opportunity and took it.. however misguided it may have been...
Shirtless Bro Asks Out TV Reporter During Live Wildfire Coverage
by Matt Wilstein | 5:43 pm, April 30th, 2014 VIDEO 38A shirtless man carrying a small dog did not seem very concerned about the wildfire about to consume his neighborhood in Rancho Cucamonga, Calif. Wednesday, but he was on the prowl for a date. When KTLA reporter (and former Fox News correspondent) Courtney Friel asked him if her lived in the area, he responded, “Wow, you’re super pretty. Wanna go on a date sometime?”
Reminding the man he was live on the air, Friel pushed forward without missing a beat, asking him if he’s going to evacuate his home.
“I was just checking out the fire,” he said, implying no intentions of leaving the area.
“What do you think of it?” Friel asked.
“It’s pretty cool,” he replied.

Fox News mixes up footage of grieving Asians
Rick Phillips of the Korean Cultural Center in Los Angeles has sent three letters to Fox News with a question about a news segment regarding the sinking of a ferry in South Korea, which left about 260 dead.
Like other outlets, Fox rushed to document the ins and outs of the accident, including the mourners who lost loved ones.
On April 25, the Korean Cultural Center, an auxiliary of the Consulate
General of the Republic of Korea, got a call from a Korean reporter for a
Los Angeles TV station, asking whether they’d seen this footage.
Phillips had a look. His reaction: “I lived in Korea for five years and I
was just like, ‘Wow, man, I have no idea why they’re doing this,’ ” he
says. “They used footage of random sad Asians instead of going to
Korea.” The blog IamKoream.com picked up the story.
Here’s a screenshot of a woman in the Fox News report (Note: The link to the video now redirects to another story):
If you've seen one sad Asian, you've seen them all.
This guy would be proud..

Seriously, how come this never happens in the U.S. You know Al Roker is just dying to beat the shut out of Matt Lauer..
Reporters get into wild on-air brawl
AMMAN, Jordan — Two journalists in Jordan having a televised debate about the civil war in neighboring Syria literally turned — and overturned — the table on each other during an on-air brawl. The speakers broke apart the studio’s table they had been seated at in an attempt to fight each other.The program aired Tuesday on the Seven Stars satellite television channel. It featured journalists Shaker al-Johari and Mohammad al-Jayousi talking about the 3-year-old war pitting rebels against President Bashar Assad’s government, a conflict which activists say has killed more than 150,000 people.
However, the debate fell apart as al-Jayousi accused al-Johari of supporting the Syrian rebels. Al-Johari then accused al-Jayousi of taking money for supporting Assad. The two men fought each other and pulled the table apart in their scuffle.

Frankly, I'm shocked it's only 1 in 5. I mean, have you seen Robots these days? (okay, nevermind that's creepy)
Poll Finds 1 in 5 People Would Have Sex With a Robot
Would you have sex with a robot? If you answered yes, you’re not alone.
Forget
raging against the machine: Some people would rather get nasty with it
instead. A new survey has found that one in five U.K.-dwellers would be
willing to have sex with robots, marking something of a leap in the
realm of digitized romance.Over 2,000 people were quizzed on their attitudes toward androids—with less than favorable results. Forty-six percent of participants said they felt that technology was progressing too quickly, while a third expressed fears that automatons posed a serious threat to humanity. The same number also believed that robots may soon replace key jobs, including those of soldiers, cops and teachers.
Define "key jobs" because that could be interesting... Does it have anything to do with this?

13. Full Show Friday
It's just the audio, but since yesterday is the anniversary of one of the greatest concerts in history, let's take a stroll down mammory lane, shall we?
Grateful Dead At Cornell May 1977 (follow link for audio)
The Grateful Dead's May 8, 1977 performance at Barton Hall on the campus of Cornell University in Ithaca, NY is just one of many powerful shows the band laid down that spring. Yet, when a high-quality recording of the show surfaced in 1985 and was spread quickly amongst fans, it rose to towards the top of the list of the most famous shows in Grateful Dead history. Today, 37 years to the day later, and after hundreds of crispy recordings of Dead shows have circulated, it still remains a fan-favorite.
When a recording of 5/8/77 was entered into the prestigious National Recording Registry of the Library of Congress, the show gained even more fame. Unbelievably, the Grateful Dead doesn't have a master tape of Cornell '77 in its archives, which is why it was passed up for release on last year's May '77 box set. The great Betty Cantor-Jackson recorded the show and it was one of hundreds of soundboard recordings to reach fans hands in 1985 through an auction of her storage space. When asked about the status of the source tape, current Grateful Dead legacy manager David Lemieux told Relix, "I do not know specifically but I have heard from many people that they know where it is and they know who has it and that’s fine. We’ve certainly made a note that we’d love to have it back as we would with any master Grateful Dead tape that we don’t have in the vault. But there’s really nothing we can do about it. We’re not going to pay for our own tape. That’s one thing I don’t think we’d ever do is to pay to buy them back and I don’t think they’ve been offered to the band in a long, long time. They know where we are, we’re easy to find and I think it has been made clear that we would love to have them back. Some people would just rather have the tapes in their closet than in the vault, but that’s fine. It is what it is. Again, there’s nothing we can do, we don’t lose sleep over it, but it is as it is."
For further reading on Cornell '77, we highly recommend Blair Jackson's essay and Meriwether's piece. With all that in mind, here's streams of the soundboard recording via NuttyRiv3r as well as an audience tape...
