BAM is celebrating the 30th anniversary of the Muppet Movie by showing it at the Rose Cinemas on Thursday July 28th! And if that weren’t good enough they are also screening rare shorts and TV show excerpts before the movie. Lets goooo!

THE MAN: “Brooklyn can eat a dick.”

Well fwends, the man strikes again this time telling some 6.1 million new yorkers living in the boroughs east of the East River that because its the 400th anniversary of some fancy fucker from the olden times claiming a massive body of water for himself and Great Shitten, their prime viewing spots for the annual independence day fireworks display over the east river are worth jack shit this year.

To celebrate the 400th anniversary of Henry Hudson’s voyage to what would become New York, the Macy’s 4th of July Fireworks this year will move to the Hudson River, Macy’s has announced.

The SOUSA fireworks will be set off from six barges in the river positioned between 24th and 50th streets for a 26-minute show featuring approximately 40,000 shells and a live score including “Proud Mary” and “God Bless America” played by the New York Pops.

“The Hudson River is where Macy’s 4th of July Fireworks was born,” Robin Hall, executive producer of Macy’s Fireworks said in a statement announcing the move from the East River. “We’re excited to return this year to be part of New York City’s larger celebration of the 400th Anniversary of Henry Hudson’s voyage of discovery aboard the Dutch vessel, The Half Moon.”

Let’s Feel Good Together

Usually when I receive an email from my mother with “FWD:” in the subject line, I open it, read it, google it, and then reply with a link to a hoax article proving that (for example) the charity she thinks has agreed to save one puppy per person she forwards it to has agreed to no such thing.

I’m sure I’m not the only one with a mama like this.

But every once in a while something checks out. And I’m so happy this just did.

 

This little chimp is loving on these cubs who lost their mommy in a hurricane!

Take a ride on Salli

I’ve been out of commission for a while, but here’s my first Blupdate. I discovered this thanks to our dear friend Coco. It’s the Salli Saddle Chair designed for better posture, exercises, needs. Please, please, please, puuulease be sure to watch the Benefits of the Salli Saddle Chair. And don’t forget to try without underwear- that is most comfortable. 

Thanks a lot stupid ugly dog.

You know, I don’t have a super common name. So when someone shares a name with me, I take note. On that note ladies and gents, meet Miss Ellie. The winner of the World’s Ugliest Dog award! “According to her owner, Miss Ellie’s competitive strengths are “cataracts in her eyes, several moles and pimples, and limited hair.”- The Daily Beast

So yeah. Thanks a lot for being super ugly, Miss Ellie and giving our name a bad name. And alright, I guess you’re sorta cute.

Chimera.

Like Deerhunter and M83 but just don’t have time to go through all the hustle and bustle of listening to two separate bands? Now you don’t have to with new Dead Mellotron! Here’s two tracks from their Ghost Light Constellation EP.

Steve-O’s Summer Jams Vol. 2

My friend Steven has uploaded another great mix tape for the (so far shitty, New York) Summer. This will help us cope.

Hyperbolic chamber: check.

So Michael Jackson is dead… or so we’re supposed to believe. This is an actual photo form 1987 of him in his hyperbolic chamber in which he slept. Apparently he had a plan to live to 150 years old. I wish he would have. Could you imagine all the different faces we could have seen?
