Daytrotter is one of the best music blogs out there right now. While most music blogs all cover the same material, Daytrotter is unique in that they only post original material. Everything they post is a unique session by bands recorded just for Daytrotter, and there are some really great sessions. I also really loved their barnburned concert series. Without a doubt, this movie will be a must see for me.

Mad Men is back. Weeds starts soon. But my favorite show, Dexter, just released their trailer for season 5. I can not wait. I think it’s going to be impossible trying to top season 4.

Weeds Season 6 is coming back next month. As a fan from the beginning, I thought the series jumped the shark a bit in Season 4 and then got a bit better with Season 5. But with the Botwins now headed back to a normal lifestyle, I think Season 6 might be headed back in the right direction.

I’ve never really found motorcycles appealing. Generally they bring up images of old, leather clad, toothless dudes or dumb ass kids on crotch rockets. For some reason, motorcycles have skipped an image of class. Wrenchmonkees has changed that notion for me. They make some pretty gorgeous bikes.

Mayer Hawthorne is awesome. There’s nothing else really to say. This hip hop DJ put out an album reminiscent of the sound of the 50′s and 60′s. This really is a summer album and I play it every once in a while in the office. Great live show too.

After doing some research on arcade games for our PAX Party, I stumbled upon this Pinel & Pinel Arcade Trunk. It features a a 1080p LCD screen, a high-def sound system with integrated iPod/iPhone dock, and sixty built-in titles include Pac-man and Space Invaders. This cool will arcade system does not cheap at a cool $13,700.

The pictures and videos from the G20 riots in Toronto blew my mind when I saw them a few weeks ago. This fan made video combines images of those riots along with images of “distractions” from the state of the world and humanity.

This movie looks damn good. Huge fan of Jon Hamm. The fact that Ben Affleck is in it though is a bit suspect. He hasn’t done anything good since “Good Will Hunting.”

Zoe told me about Chief forever ago. It took me a while before I gave them a listen and I wasn’t too stoked on what I heard. But this video and this song have finally sold me on this band. Very excited to check out the album coming out next month.

Converse partnered Kid Cudi, Rostam from Vampire Weekend, and Bethany from Best Coast to create this song. Overall it’s a good song (much better than the Pharrell, Santogold, and Julian Casablancas one), but the highlight comes during the chorus from Bethany. I’m really in love with this girl right now. Her full length album is sure to be on many people’s Album Of The Year lists.
