Champagne. Kisses at midnight. Some dude throwing up.

These are what we've come to expect at New Year's Eve parties, which is why I'm headed to the Blue Cafe in Long Beach to see the Spell, Ambush Freqs and Mr. Elevator & the Brain Hotel. I'm no psychic (although I play one on this blog), so here's what I'm planning on seeing this Saturday evening.

Six Songs to Work Off the Extra Helping of Grandma's Stuffing and Those Seven Beers You Drank Thursday Night

Jim Carrey works out too!
Look, you ate too damned much during the four-day Thanksgiving break. But it's cool. We've all been there. The good news is there's this little thing called exercise that's going to get you back to who you were last Wednesday.

As an avid gym member (the girl at the front desk knows my name), I know that Mondays there suck because people think they can just take one spinning class and work off all the bad shit they've put into their bodies since Friday. Coming off the Thanksgiving break, I assume today will be incredibly busy with people who want to be able to see their toes again, which only makes working out sound like even less fun than it already is. That's why I'm here to help.

With these six songs on your iPod (or whatever listening device you use), you're guaranteed to lose the extra helping of grandma's stuffing and those seven beers you drank Thursday night after having four glasses of wine at your sister's house.

NBA Lockout is Finally Over: Our Top Five Terrible Songs by Athletes

LA Lakers Rap All-Stars
I don't believe in God, but if I did, I'd be thanking her right now for salvaging the upcoming NBA season. I mean, I tried to watch hockey, I really did, but I just can't hang with that shit. And my dad was born in Canada, so I should be able to get through more than three minutes without asking, "Where's the puck?" before changing the channel to "1 Girl 5 Gays."

Hockey indifference aside, there's a better reason to be thankful for the recently announced unlocked out NBA season and that's the fact that the more these dudes are balling on the court, the less they're rapping in studios. In case you don't believe me, here are five videos that prove just because these guys can dunk a basketball doesn't mean they have superhuman abilities at everything in life.

Jacuzzi Boys Get Super-NSFW Fan Video for 'Glazin'' With More Vag Than Lilith Fair

The Jacuzzi Boys
We like the Jacuzzi Boys' music and all, but we didn't know the Miami band could inspire such devotion. Apparently, guitarist/vocalist Gabriel Alcala, drummer Diego Monasterios and bassist Danny Gonzalez's flair for heavy metallic glitter, neon glam-rock opuses and erections have inspired a video that's both incredibly creative and disturbing at the same time.

Six fans dress up their crotches using arts-and-crafts supplies (glitter, plastic eyes, glue, paint, wigs, yarn, cellophane, etc.) and disguise their vags as an octopus, different kinds of aliens, Santa Claus, Kareem Abdul Jabbar, a hamburger, a vampire, the plant from Little Shop of Horrors, the Jacuzzi Boys themselves, Frankenstein, a glitter alligator, and Homer Simpson--all so they could flap their lips to the song "Glazin'."

It's actually pretty funny, the more you watch it. (There's a doggie cameo at 1:56--but no pussy, if you can believe that.) And it's probably on par with Big Bad Wolf's "Duck Sauce," but begets even more questions, such as "What glue did they use?" and "Are those fish hooks they're using to pull those lips apart?"

Anyway, see it after the jump. (We warned you: This is totally NSFW. And you will probably get grossed-out. And lose a boner or two.)

Five Best Parts of Battles' 'My Machines' Video

Categories: amusing videos
battles-my-machines.jpg

1. Well, there's the actual dude falling down the up escalator for, like, a full three minutes and 10 seconds.
2. Then there's Gary Numan singing deadpan throughout most of it.
3. And Battles squished into a descending escalator, playing their instruments (yes, even John Stanier, who plays the drums on a smaller kit minus the tall ride cymbal).
4. It also makes you think of what it would be like to experience an earthquake inside a mall with an awesome song whose breaks accompany your every fall.
5. It's set in Little Tokyo, meaning you've probably set foot on those very steps the lead is stumbling down in.
Read the enjoyable interview about the making of the video on Pitchfork, and then watch the video after the jump.

'Rifles Burs'--Video/Song of the Year That Will Make You Take Your Shirt Off

rifle-burs.jpg
I could ramble on for days about how awesome this video/song called "Rifle Burs" is, but I won't for two reasons.

1. Within the first 10 seconds, the unnamed rapper (whose name appears to be Gil) says all you need to know when he explains, "It's the hardest beat anybody's ever heard... Gunshots are the beat." Do you even need to know anything else? Answer: No.

2. The whole thing is three minutes and twenty-three seconds long. Trust me, between solitaire, free cell, spider solitaire and online Tetris, you've already proven to yourself and that creepy IT guy at work who monitors your computer activity that have enough time to watch this.

Axis of Awesome Play 48 Songs in Four Chords

Categories: amusing videos
axis-of-awesome.jpg
A few months ago writer Ali Lerman caught the Axis of Awesome at the KROQ comedy show, Kevin and Bean's April Foolishness. Back then she said, "the three men (Lee, Benny and Jordan) are hilarious and have musical talent to back it up. They sang "How to Write a Love Song," did a cover (of sorts) called "Bird Plane," and brought everyone to their feet with "Four Chords." Axis of Awesome were the best act of the night and received a well-deserved standing ovation. They should rename their group Axis of Even More Awesome Awesomeness."

Well, the Australian trio finally released the music video for the song "Four Chords"... and it's funny too funny for words! The song itself isn't that new, but they've added a few gems to the repertoire. (Double rainbow, anyone?) Watch it after the jump.

MTV's 10 Coolest Videos From Michael Jackson to Metallica

Thumbnail image for MTV.jpg
Today is MTV's 30th anniversary (30! OMG), so we thought we'd let loose with a list of some of the cooler/mind bending/watchable videos to grace the venerable network juggernaut's air waves.  Despite all of MTV's shortcomings as a commercial cable network channel, which has blighted our screens with TRL and Jersey Shore, there was a time when the channel was a springboard for some of the most creative personalities in entertainment.

We don't make any claims as to the finality of this list, no doubt you have some of your own favorites from the past three decades.  That's what the comment section is for, we want to hear them--unless it's about why Nirvana didn't make the list.

Rob Zombie Directs Woolite Commercial

rob-zombie-thumb-500x494.jpg
Zombies! Is wrinkly and stiff clothing keeping you up at night? Well, fear no more! Announcing Woolite as the official fabric softener for the sensitive-skinned zombie! No, but seriously, the horror movie and metal mastermind himself, Rob Zombie, recently directed the latest commercial for Woolite and it is quite freaking awesome.

"It's a very bizarre TV commercial for a product like this" Zombie said. "Honestly, I was shocked when they called me to do it." More >>

Impressions of Lady Gaga: 'She's Weird and She Wants People to Buy Her Weird Music'

Categories: amusing videos

It's been a Lady Gaga overload for the past year. She graced the cover of this week's Rolling Stone, and she's been featured in almost every blog almost every day for months. Frankly, I'm sick of reading about what eccentric outfit (meat dress, pregnant suit) she's sporting, what "little monster" she is helping, why her hit single "Born This Way" sounds like a distinct replica of Madonna's "Express Yourself" (which by the way, it does) and how "Judas" is the coolest video since MJ's "Thriller."
