Apple iPad

Apple just unveiled their latest product, the much hyped iPad. Nothing revolutionary; I think if an iPod Touch knocked up a MacBook, this would be the spawn that it birthed. The name iPad kind of reminds me of a funny skit by Dave Chappelle.....Was that Rashida Jones?!

DAAA-YUMM!

The Beatles Ain't Nothin Ta Fuck Wit.

Props to Mr. Caruana for this mash-up. Two of my favorite musical acts from two very different genres coming together to make one very unique album. Wu-Tang vocals mixed over music by The Beatles. Download it here.

If that ain't enough Beatles infused hip-hop for ya, check out Danger Mouse's The Grey Album, which mixes rapper Jay-Z's The Black Album with The Beatles' The White Album.

This mash-up (which you can download here) became so popular, EMI (Electrical & Musical Industries Ltd.) attempted to halt it's online distribution because fuck you that's why. It also caught the ear of Gorillaz creator Damon Albarn, who, thoroughly impressed with Danger Mouse's mad skills, recruited him to produce Demon Days, one of my favorite albums ever.

Inspired by Kaw's promotional artwork off of Kanye West's album 808's and Heartbreak:




If you readers out there want your own pair of custom shoes, you can myspace these guys and get them to make whatever you have in mind...for a fee of course.
