Shaun White Winter X 2012 Perfect Score

Nursing a bum ankle, Shaun White had already pulled out of Slopestyle earlier this week, leaving many to wonder how he would fare in his signature event. However, as only he can do, White made his mark at Winter X Games Aspen Men’s Snowboard SuperPipe, winning gold and effectively solidifying a five-time repeat with a score of 94.00 on his very first run of the night. White could have mailed in his final run and taken a victory lap, but instead threw down the single greatest slew of tricks in Winter X Games history. Starting off the run with a towering 18-ft backside air, White stuck a frontside double cork 1080, a Cab double cork 1080, a frontside stalefish 540, a double McTwist 1260, and his signature frontside double cork 1260 before all was said and done, garnering the first perfect score of 100 in the history of Winter X.

Song of the Day Red Hot Chili Peppers "Look Around"

I am pretty bummed the concert got moved back a couple of months. But all good things come to those who wait I guess? This video is pretty tight. They never disappoint with their work.

Song of the Day Semisonic "Closing Time"

I listened to this on the car ride home and it is still a classic. Talk about an awesome video as well. Way before its time in my opinion.

Time for a new thing.

Just in case you have been wondering where I have been. I love We On Some Hip Hop and the three plus years spent blogging here at blogspot, but now I am over at Tumblr. My new site is called Diary of An ATLien. Feel free to check it out. I am still going to post videos and other things from time to time here as well.  Thanks for your loyalty all these years.

Song of the Day Mayer Hawthorne "Dreaming"

For the always lighthearted Mayer Hawthorne and his latest set of visuals, the LA-based musician enlists the services of animatronic band The Rock-afire Explosion to highlight the music video. The aesthetics feature Hawthorne seemingly on a date with a pair of lovely ladies, as they enjoy their time at a pizza parlor. The robotic band provides for the feel-good musical backdrop, while towards the end of the segment, Hawthorne himself hops on stage to perform with his furry friends. “Dreaming” is featured on the multi-talented artist’s most recent EP How Do You Do. v

An Inaccurate Look at the Making of a Native Fitzsimmons

In one of the more clever ad spots in recent memory, Native presents An Inaccurate Look at the Making of a Fitzsimmons, a Wes Anderson-esque imagining of what goes into shoe manufacturing. The result is a whimsical interpretation, where buried treasure is unearthed, bananas are found and mythical shoes are created. The Native team deserves a ton of credit for thinking outside of the box on this one. Check it out.

Mayer Hawthorne Plays His Own Halftime Show as Nickelback Alternative

Earlier this month, soul singer Mayer Hawthorne campaigned in the Rolling Stone studio to replace Nickelback as the halftime performer for the big Detroit Lions home game on Thanksgiving Day after many loyal Lions fans attempted to get the rockers kicked off the bill. Nickelback is keeping the gig after all, but that's not going to stop Hawthorne from celebrating Thanksgiving – and the Lions – in style on Thursday. In this clip, the Detroit native announces that he'll be broadcasting his own halftime show from his parents' house, with his own dad on bass. "I'm gonna play a short medley of favorites and some songs especially for Detroit," says Hawthorne. "The band will be all local musicians from Detroit. We'll be watching the game upstairs!"
