Maybe she was too used to Ze Autobahn?

It appears that life is imitating art yet again, only in a much less violent and more sexy-time fashion. From DailyMail:

A uniformed police officer was caught on CCTV having sex with a woman on the hood of a car.

The bizarre scene, which was witnessed by a nearby chihuahua, was filmed by a hidden camera set up by New Mexico police to catch vandalism at a nearby property.

Who wants a mustache ride?

Danny Pudi's Nice Day

I have never heard of Jones Street Station before, but they are pretty okay in a very non-offensive way. This new video, on the other hand, documents a day that I would find very okay. Just putzing around New York City with the world's tiniest camera and picking up a cute music engineer lady.

Gorillaz Frontman Streams New Songs From the Congo

Recently, Gorillaz frontman Damon Albarn, along with other producers as part of DRC Music, has begun work on a charity album in the Democratic Republic of Congo. The project has yielded a few tracks so far, which can be streamed at Mashable as well as DRC Music Soundcloud page.

From Mashable:

It’s great that Albarn and the team aren’t just air-lifting in to record but are seeking out Congolese musicians to participate. DRC Music is raising money for a cause while shining a light on Congolese culture and musical traditions.

Kind of reminds me of Playing For Change, and their sweet rendition of "Stand By Me". Good stuff. Great vibes.

Blind Pilot - We Are the Tide

First listen available for streaming. From NPR:

Blind Pilot's hooky, low-key pop isn't the stuff of groundbreaking, boundary-pressing experimentation, but the craftsmanship and consistency at its core should never be minimized, either. After emerging out of nowhere with 2008's self-released 3 Rounds and a Sound — that year's most solidly appealing record, if not its best outright — the Portland, Ore., band has toured with The Decemberists, been showcased on Morning Edition, and recorded a lovely, gently appealing follow-up called We Are the Tide.

Out Sept. 13, We Are the Tide blooms agreeably from start to finish. Though Blind Pilot locates extra energy on the live stage — the band's sound has tightened over time, as it's expanded from the duo of Israel Nebeker and Ryan Dobrowski to a large and fleshed-out sextet — the new record focuses more on lush, pretty concoctions like the album-opening "Half Moon." We Are the Tidebenefits enormously once Blind Pilot introduces a bit of thumping propulsion in the record's title track, but the softer material radiates warmth, too.

I'm listening to it now. Thoughts to come.

Sex Is Death

According to Dr. Dave Robinson of the San Antonion Spurs. Found Footage has the rapping educational video that also includes prominent medical experts AC Green and Barry Sanders.



Reminds me of the equally educational scene from Mean Girls -

Washed Out

Been listening to the new Washed Out album, Within and Without. This video encapsulates what I like most about it - the soft-rock ambitions, the sax riff, the heavy synths. Mining the gold out of yacht rock. Or putting the wind in the sails of AM Gold.
