I’m a little late on this perhaps, but today I found one of my favourite sites on the Internet EVER. It’s rare that a website can give so much joy (there are others out there, but I’ll let you imagine which ones those are) and I find myself sat grinning at my computer screen whilst playing around with the little men (…)
INCREDIBOX is essentially a better (more enjoyable), definitely easier-to-use version of Garageband, but where you simply drag and drop ‘actions’ onto the characters to create an ad-hoc melody, rhyme whatever. You have to try this. Addictive? Very.

From the enigma himself:
“MANIAC is a short film inspired by the song. It is not a music video and it has no reference to the song content. It will be scored by Dot and I as a film with all new music. Directed By Shia LaBeouf for Grassy Slope and Ragin4Dayz Productions.”
As someone who shies away from senseless acts of violence, murder and gore, this short film is one of the most disturbing videos I’ve seen in a while. Cudi and his friend go about committing random murders whilst having a camera crew document their ‘adventures’. There’s no reasoning for each or any murder, just many squeamishly aggressive and unapologetic killings.
I’m not sure what the point of all this is, but as a massive fan of How To Make It in America, I’m really digging Cudi on his acting tip.

Probably the most viewed trailer in the world today, Rockstar have released some salivating footage of the next instalment of the GTA series. As you can see in the video, we’re taken back to San Andreas, the last time this setting was used was in the highly ambitious PS2 game which really pushed that hardware to its limits, and judging by the graphics on this, will be suitably pushing the PS3′s hardware to the max’ also. The beauty of San Andreas is that you’re not confined to just one city, you have free reign of the entire state. The video just gives us a glimpse of what to expect, and leads us only to ask more questions such as:
Will this carry on with CJ’s story from the previous San Andreas game, or Niko’s story from GTA IV? Or perhaps both? Will the game be mature like GTA IV, or more on the ‘crazy’ scale like the PS2 San Andreas game? Will they further improve the online aspect and even perhaps introduce a co-op mode? Will I be able to basejump or use a jetpack like you could in the PS2 version?
Will I have to make sure my character exercises and eats again?! Only time will tell.

Some exciting news for you all: Boston native Slaine headlines this OTU Live show with his début solo performance in the UK. Slaine became internationally acclaimed for his work as a member of the La Coka Nostra collection, and having managed to hold his own alongside veterans Everlast and ILL Bill, Slaine earned himself a solid fan base and his talent grew exponentially under the limelight. After taking timeout to secure his position as the premier ‘Boston tough guy’ in movies, starring in Gone Baby Gone and The Town, Slaine returned to music in 2011 by releasing the long-awaited A World With No Skies 2.0, and more recently the universally-praised State Of Grace mixtape with Statik Selektah.
Representing Philadelphia supergroup Army of the Pharaohs is Reef the Lost Cauze, who like Slaine will be joined live onstage by DJ Illegal- one half of Europe’s most talented production team, Snowgoons. With Reef and Snowgoons having recently teamed up to produce one of the 2011’s most anticipated albums in Your Favourite MC, this event will give UK fans the chance to see the masterpiece performed live, alongside the biggest tracks from Reef, Army Of The Pharaohs, and the Snowgoons’ considerable and critically-adored back catalogues.
In a night of diverse collaborations, the support acts will be representative of London’s own musical diversity. Multi-talented and viewed as one of London’s best event hosts, Stig of the Dump will be gracing the stage with his trademark brand of humour, and a selection of his most exciting songs. In charge of the records for the night is DJ Snuff, a veteran of the hip-hop scene, who will also be unveiling his new collective: Caxton Press.
Tickets are available RIGHT NOW. The whole OTU team will be there, don’t miss your chance to be too and purchase your tickets by clicking here.

Presented by the illustrious Mick Boogie and the ultra-talented Broke Mogul, we’re treated to an hour long mix with tracks set to feature in the upcoming season of the superb How To Make It In America.
Season 1 brought the upbeat Shooting Stars into my library, a really enjoyable track that I would have otherwise never have come across, and similarly, the previews for season 2 have delivered Theophilus London’s enjoyable I Stand Alone. Much more to be unearthed on this mix, and you can grab it for free below.

A couple of us here at OTU are longtime and frequent users of the Last.fm service, and it’s interesting to see this next step in their progression, a very smart one given all of the great data they have at their disposal.
Last.fm announces CocknBullKid as the headline act for the first monthly ‘Last.fm Presents’ gigs. The monthly flagship music events, taking place in London on the first Friday of every month, will be curated by Last.fm data and powered by listeners. The first gig will be held at The Garage, London, on Friday 7th October 2011. The events will include a range of live acts selected according to the popularity of listener’s scrobbles and the Last.fm Hype Charts – providing a line-up of the most popular and hottest up and coming artists.
When asked about her appearance at the primary Live Friday gig CocknBullKid said “All I’m saying is that there’ll be a story – a cradle to the grave journey. And it will be very interactive. There may even be vogueing.”

Almost as cinematic as the show itself, the trailer for the fantastic Boardwalk Empire’s upcoming season certainly expands on the suggestions from the previously-released teaser, as well as the situations that concluded the first season. To avoid spoiling the previous season (as I’m aware many haven’t seen it yet), I would recommend to stop reading from this point onwards.
There’s a clear theme running through the video, in particular the relative isolation and fear now imparted on the series’ lead character, Nucky Thompson, as a result of the aforementioned situations arising in season 1′s finale. One particularly poignant detail is the red rose Nucky wears, which naturally catches the eye and is quite a prominent feature throughout the trailer. There’s plenty of symbolism surrounded red roses, and one in particular comes to mind: the Garden of Eden ‘story’ suggests a white rose turned red as it blushed at Adam and Eve’s fall from grace, with a downward spiral seeming the obvious path for Nucky in season 2. Notice how one or two others seem to be also sporting the roses too, possibly suggesting similar fates for them. Worth a watch for sure, and I’m very excited for the premiere on September 25th.

The first official video from the collaborative album from the duo arrive, timed nicely as the dust settles on the album release.
Despite my slight disappointment in the album (review here), and despite already seeing criticism for this video in various outlets, I’m actually a fan of the video. There’s lots of positivity, energy and a feelgood vibe that’s been entirely absent from the careers (both visual and audio) of both men in recent years, and whilst at times they overdo it trying to convince everyone they’re still ‘young’ at various points, you’ll grin at watching the duo cut loose and take themselves less seriously for a change. It’s an infectious positivity, and works alongside the soulful audio to humanise them considerably.
Thematically the video is pretty simple, with the duo rapping in a fairly desolate environment and driving around in a ridiculously-customised Maybach. Sharp-eyed viewers will also spot a cameo from comedian Aziz Ansari, with his hilariously-awkward dancing at around 2:31 worthy of a few rewatches. A good video, and the audio can be found on the Watch The Throne album, available everywhere now.

Having done these videos with the likes of 50 Cent, Katy Petty and many more, it’s absolutely unbelievable how popular Keenan Cahill has become, and here he ‘collaborates’ with WWE superstar The Miz for a ‘sync-off’, with hilarious results. Despite being an odd looking little man-boy, it’s nice to see someone get a bit of fame for being willing to have a laugh at themselves.
The funniest part for me is the fact he doesn’t seem to actually know the words to the songs he mimes: whilst Miz is being entertaining in his own right with various exaggerated actions, Keenan is pretty much just moving his lips in as many directions as possible. Watch the entire thing, as there are some funny additional happenings throughout the video, involving another WWE guy.
Also, I’m pretty sure I just read that Keenan now has a management team and a clothing line. Yes, I’m being serious.

Lost creators Lindelof and Cuse once and for all prove that they weren’t making Lost up as they went along by releasing this never seen before deleted scene from season one.
Ok, I lied, this is just a jape scene, but it is actually hilarious. Lost fans (and haters) will find this very funny and it does actually address how ridiculous the last season or two of Lost really was. Added to the fact that we see some great new screentime between Jacob and the evil man in black (who was never named), this makes this a much watch.

The very anticipated final season of Entourage will soon be upon us, fans of great TV all over the world rejoice! Whilst many Entourage fanatics felt season 7 was a bit of a let down, I personally thought the changing character arcs was a necessary evil in order to piece everything together for this final hurrah (as is often the case with penultimate seasons of long-running TV shows).
Don’t want to write any comments on what we see in this trailer in case any of you fools haven’t caught up yet, so hit play and enjoy. Oh, and them choosing Eminem and Royce’s Fast Lane track to promote this trailer was a great call.

HBO are seriously putting the work in, and having recently released the season 2 teaser for Boardwalk Empire, they’ve also let the teaser loose for this superb series. My TV viewing will increase exponentially when these two shows return!
HTMIIA is undoubtedly one of the most feelgood, easy-to-watch TV shows in recent memory, drawing rightful comparisons with Entourage but with somewhat more relatable characters and realistic storylines. There isn’t too much given away here but I did catch a couple of stills involving Rachel, suggesting her role in the series isn’t quite finished yet, whilst a couple of newer characters appear to be given some focus alongside those we already know and love. It was also previously announced that Kid Cudi’s Domingo character will have a more prominent role in the next season, which will undoubtedly be interesting viewing.
Before you ask, the song in the trailer is Theophilus London-I Stand Alone, taken from his upcoming debut album Timez Are Weird These Days (July 19th).

Not only are these guys back with a new funny, but it also marks the return of the We Like Sportz/Just Two Guyz duo, who are frankly brilliant. This ‘sequel’ is exactly in keeping with the previous two videos: it ramps things up a notch from its predecessor, and has bundles of the ridiculous awkwardness that makes this duo so entertaining.
It’s probably not quite at the level of the classic We Like Sportz, but gives it a pretty good go and as with most of their videos, it’s still good for a few laughs. A notable moment is definitely the popular hip-hop quote at the end (I won’t ruin it), which will definitely draw a smile out of you. Turtleneck and Chain available now!

Hugely excited for the next season of this superb drama. The period charm combined with some genuinely superb acting from the likes of Steve Buscemi made for enthralling and captivating viewing in the first season, and it looks as though the second season is going to ramp things up somewhat.
I won’t spoil it for those of you that haven’t finished season 1, but it’s fair to say the season ended in exciting style with the story arcs for the forthcoming season being started, and here there are strong hints of the direction in which those arcs will be going. Watch and enjoy.

To anyone out there making a tribute video to commemorate Macho Man Randy Savage, don’t bother. You won’t top this. Probably one of the funniest videos I’ve seen in a while, this video blends together some typically insane sound and videobites from various Macho Man interviews into a worryingly coherent (probably more coherent than any of Macho’s actual interviews!) and hilarious package.
Not only that, but it’s backed by a massive electronic production that only serves to amplify the Macho Madness, with a headphone-rattling bass that makes you feel like a right idiot for actually nodding your head and enjoying it. Quite simply one of the funniest tribute videos ever, and one any Macho Man fan will get a massive laugh out of.
