Bonnie Raitt – “Need You Tonight” (INXS Cover)

Bonnie Raitt’s inimitable voice and slide guitar still sound amazing, as if she was just beginning her five-decade career. Her 20th (yes, 20th) album Dig In Deep is due this Friday, and just ahead of its release she’s shared its second track — a cover of INXS’ 1987 hit “Need You Tonight.” The grown-folks pop […]

Doug Funnie Rapping Ice Cube's 'Today Was A Good Day'

doug-rapping-ice-cube.jpg Because if you pray to the internet long enough it will provide, this is a video of Doug Funnie from Doug edited to perform Ice Cube's classic 'Today Was A Good Day'. Was today a good day for you? I sure hope so. I worry about you sometimes. I just want you to know, I'm here for you. If you ever want to talk, I'm only the cost of a couple rounds of beer (and a flight to LA) away. Don't want to talk? That's fine too, we can just sit in silence and pick at the labels on our beer bottles. Maybe we'll order some hot wings. Maybe we won't. Maybe it's really me that needs you and not the other way around. Maybe we need each other. I draw the line at going to the bathroom together though unless you're committed to holding hands over the urinal divider. I take friendship seriously. Keep going for the video.

Venture Bros. Cosplay Is Too Real

Sometimes, you see a group cosplay effort that looks like it took a lot of design and planning, and looks pretty good for a bunch of humans in costume. Other times, like here, you see a group cosplay effort that looks like three characters walked straight off a TV set and into the real world.

110-Year OldGets Interviewed On Birthday, Doesn't Care

110-year-old-interview.jpg This is a painful interview with Flossie Dickey, who just turned 110 and doesn't give two shits about being interviewed about it. I think she actually fell asleep several times, which makes sense since at one point she even says, "I am tired. I take a nap as many times as I can." God, me too Flossie, me too.
As for whether Dickey was excited about the big birthday party planned for her which would include at least some of her three children, 20 great-grandchildren and 15 great-great grandchildren? "Not one bit," was her prickly response.
Apparently Flossie also likes sitting and drinking whiskey, making her the coolest 110-year old I've ever heard of, which isn't really that crazy because she's the only 110-year old I've ever heard of. Do you want to live to 110? If I live to 110 I better be a f***ing sorcerer because if I'm just a regular person I am going to be miserable. I already dribble pee on my way to the bathroom at night, can you imagine the shape I'll be in at 110? That would not be living, that would only be not dying. Thankfully, my doctor is always surprised every time I show up alive for my annual exam, so I doubt I'll have to worry about it. Hit the jump for the awkward interview.
