Tuesday, March 16th, 2010Ladies and gentlemen, things are about to get really interesting. Eduard Khil, the singer of the bizarreness known as Trolololo, has responded to his world wide fame with one simple request: lyrics. That’s right, folks. You write the lyrics and he’ll sing them. This may be the greatest thing that has ever happened to us.
Now [...]
Tee Time
Sunday, March 7th, 2010No wonder rap music is so popular!
Do you know what makes me feel invincible? Jumping off a cliff, into a volcano after I’ve slayed the Wildebeest Blood Dragon and won the 2012 U.S. presidency. Granted, I’d need my invincibility cloak for all of that. That and a little B.I.G.’s Ready To Die. Throw your hands [...]
Nerds Fix Ke$ha
Wednesday, March 3rd, 2010Wow. I never thought I’d see the day when I posted anything Ke$ha related, anywhere. But it’s okay. My love for Star Wars outweighs pretty much anything except maybe my love for Star Trek. Just saying. Anyway, these guys definitely won me over with the Stormtrooper kid. Nobody deserves to get their lemonade stand wiped [...]
OK Go’s Rube Goldberg Machine – My Open Letter To OK Go
Tuesday, March 2nd, 2010Dear OK Go,
Hey. What’s up? My name is Nikkita and I write stuff on here. Now I’ve been enjoying posting your awesome possum videos for the past couple of months and while I didn’t expect you to top the awesomeness which was “WTF?”, you did with your live rendition of “This Too Shall Pass” starring [...]
My Ukulele Hero
Monday, March 1st, 2010Timmy bought himself a ukulele recently and I think it goes without saying that we’re all very excited about it. So during his travels on the interweb, searching for ukulele skill and wisdom, he found this little kid. Then he made the mistake of showing this little kid to me and now I’ll never be [...]
Amateur Rock Gone Horribly Wrong – Sorry, Boys. I Just Couldn’t Help Myself.
Wednesday, February 24th, 2010I’m not one to point and laugh at people but… Okay, so maybe I am. But I did resist posting this video of Final Placement, a teen Christian Rock band from Midland, Texas, for their song “Shine” because it’s just…so…bad. Basically I paused the video right when it started to make sure something else wasn’t [...]
Toy Fair 2010: Hershey’s Earbuds And Flash Drives
Thursday, February 18th, 2010Earbuds and flash drives are pretty prevalent in today’s gift world, but these Hersey licensed goodies are almost good enough to eat. And by eat, I mean stick in your ears and computer. Because nobody in their right mind would eat ear candy. I mean, most ear candies. As far as these particular goodies go, [...]
Hi-Fido
Tuesday, February 9th, 2010This week I’ve been spending a lot of time online, window shopping for things I will never buy (and avoiding the things I should). I’m not really sure what it is I’m punishing for myself for, but apparently it was really bad and all of this browsing is really starting to hurt. Like these Hi-Fido [...]
Cutie Ukulele
Sunday, February 7th, 2010Timmy just got himself a ukulele and I happen to already have a melodica. Sadly, it might be a little while before we get our GV band together, but until then we can enjoy some music at its cutest from these two little beach dwellers.

My New Obsession? – The Truly Bizarre Die Antwoord
Tuesday, February 2nd, 2010So today I was introduced to Die Antwoord, a South African rap-rave-punk something that words just can’t really express. It’s like Chris Cunningham exploded on… I can’t even finish that thought. Anyway, I’ve been on the prowl all day digging up what ever there was to consume of this group and I’m afraid that it [...]
Piggy Speakers
Monday, February 1st, 2010Speakers can easily be ranked as a necessity for anyone’s desk. But you don’t have to be all conventional about it. I mean, what’s the fun in that? Mix it up and keep it snazzy with these awesome Pig Speakers that stand at an impressive 7 inches tall. I don’t know about you, but my [...]
If You Don’t Love Fever Ray Yet, You Need To Start Now
Tuesday, January 26th, 2010That eBay art box really set the tone for me today and my thirst for pretentious art. Am I still thinking about that interview I watched with Lady Gaga last night? Maaaaaaaaaybe. Anyway, here at GV, Paul and I have been drooling over Fever Ray, a side project by Karin Dreijer Andersson of The Knife. [...]
Tee Time
Monday, January 25th, 2010I have to admit, I’m kind of surprised this tee hasn’t happened already. Not that I’m complaining. I’m very relieved it did. Look at that! They even stuck with the correct color scheme. And Paul isn’t wearing shoes! Not that anyone else is…
The Beetles tee is available from Threadless for $18.00.
OK Go – This Too Shall Pass
Thursday, January 21st, 2010Just in case you had any doubts, OK Go is still making awesome videos. What is it about these guys that fills me with childlike wonderment? Must be my love for marching bands. Curse my high school that was too small to do anything! Anyway, their video for “This Too Shall Pass” was filmed live [...]
DIY Lady Gaga Glasses
Tuesday, January 19th, 2010Ok, I would like to set the record straight and inform everyone that I have given into the Cult of Lady Gaga, or as I like to call it, the Lady Gagult. It’s been a couple of weeks now and I’m happy with my decision to grovel and pray to this ridiculous woman. And don’t [...]
The Finches Rock Out
Monday, January 18th, 2010French artist Céleste Boursier-Mougenot creates works by drawing on the rhythms of daily life to produce sound in unexpected ways.
For his installation in The Curve, Boursier-Mougenot creates a walk-though aviary for a flock of zebra finches, furnished with electric guitars and other musical instruments. As the birds go about their routine activities, perching on or [...]
M.I.A. Vs. Verizon
Tuesday, January 12th, 2010Just to further prove that she’s an awesomer woman than I’ll ever be, M.I.A. is throwing down with her internet provider, Verizon, on her next album due out this summer.
The new tracks include “I Fight the Ones That Fight Me” and “I’m Down Like Your Internet Connection,” which actually features Filipino Verizon workers singing the [...]
Bellow Pumping Boba Fett
Tuesday, January 12th, 2010Oh man, I just couldn’t help myself. Not only have I been having a love affair with the original Boba Fett for the past 3 years, I have recently picked up the accordion that has been waiting in my closet for the past 2. Boba Fett may or may not have bought it for me, [...]
How To Sleeveface
Tuesday, January 12th, 2010Yes, “sleeveface” is a verb. Now make it your own. I wonder what my roommate would think if he came home to me rummaging through and trying on his vinyl collection. I have a strange feeling that this will be considered fairly acceptable. Best roommate ever?

Making Of Prodigy’s “Smack My Bitch Up”
Wednesday, January 6th, 2010Prodigy’s “Smack My Bitch Up” may be better known for its controversial music video where some chick gets drunk, does lots of drugs, breaks things, throws up and gets with a stripper before you realize that, yo, she’s a chick, widely disregarding it’s super onion like quality of being one hell of a song. And [...]
