The new episode of Bob Kushell, famed writer/producer from The Simpsons, was released on Crackle.com this week with a new special guest. The pilot program kicked off with a special appearance by John Stamos and Kushell keeps the ball rolling with his 5-minute "Talkfest" with another high profile guest, Neil Patrick Harris. My girlfriend got me Season 2 of How I Met Your Mother on DVD for X-Mas, so I've been watching NPH for a couple days straight now. My friend told me the mark of a good actor is if you can't see them any other way, so I will go ahead and proclaim Harris a tour-de-force for his character of Barney. Who knew a gay man could slay so many fine New York ladies?
Since the fall of the Roman Empire, the lines between gay and straight have never been so skewed until now. With the support of major media, alternative lifestyles are considered to be hip and trendy. Just ask Lindsay Lohan.
Whether some is gay or straight doesn’t affect me either way, unless of course if I happen to be dating them. Being a fairly perceptive girl, I have never seen myself as the type of gal who could fall for a gay guy. But now with the rise of the metro sexual, who closely resembles the homosexual, it might be easier than I would have ever thought possible.
In the past year, two girls I know have dated guys that turned out to be gay. Flora, my bff since high school, had a guy tell her he was “into dudes too” while they cuddled in bed after doing the deed. Barf. And Jodie, my friend’s friend caught her boyfriend of three months making out with a guy at a nightclub. When she confronted him (while he was still making out with the guy), he told her to calm down and that he was just really drunk.
Were these girls being really unperceptive, or were these guys hiding their gay-ness very well?
If you live in the city, especially Los Angeles, you have really got to keep your gay-dar at full alert when looking for a boy. But even supreme intuition can be fooled by guys that are gay but don’t know it or want to ignore it. Ladies, here are some clues that will help tip you off to feminine fellas.
Even though there has never been a better time in our country's history to be gay, coming out of the closet can be a real b@tch (not that I'd know). Parents often have a big problem with it, especially if they wanted you to join the army. If you are gearing up to drop the "I'm gay" bomb on you folks, here are some of the possible reactions that they might have.
For those of you who tuned in to Stephen Colbert's holiday special, A Colbert Christmas: The Greatest Gift of All, the other week, you were no doubt greeted with an hour of hilarity. His special guests included Feist, Toby Keith, Jon Stewart, Willie Nelson, and Elvis Costello. But the act that really brought me to tears was Mr. John Legend's "Nutmeg". His sultry lyrics are hallmark to any given baby-making situation, but this one really takes the cake as our new favorite X-Mas party jam.
So if you're attending an Ugly Sweater Party or just drinking by yourself wearing a santa hat this weekend, make sure this is on the playlist. Only drawback - only way to buy the actual song on iTunes is by purchasing the entire "A Colbert Chistmas" soundtrack. Not such a bad thing, but certainly more expensive that just $.99
We found this post on Craigslist rideshare in Vermont, but like most hilarious things it was pulled shortly after going up. So here's what you missed. Original post was here before being flagged.
Minneapolis-based hip hop star P.O.S. has a new album, which makes us happy. It isn't just because he has great lines with awesome beats that we like P.O.S., or that he's kind of goofy from times. It's the fact that the guy has become a solid bridge between rock and hip hop. Never Better is the rapper's latest effort after his successful 2006 release, Audition. The album has a pulsating beat that aligns with the fact that the majority of the verses were written in a moving car. He conjures the imagery of getaways, racing , and the inevitable nighttime drives.
P.O.S. is often heralded as an innovator of sorts, in part due to his background with punk music. Growing up, he was a fan of bands like Minor Threat, Kid Dynamite, and At the Drive-In. Throughout his youth he played in several hardcore bands, filling in for drums or guitar, while developing his rap chops on the side. Audition quickly shot to the top of several critic's lists and we think the new release will be a favorite at the end of '09.

With the holidays hitting you later this week whether you're ready or not, buying more gifts is probably the last thing on your mind. But we were contacted by this great charity and thought we should share it with you.
BeanElf.org is a micro-philanthropy effort that utilizes a Postal Service program called Operation Santa. The service which has been in place since 1912 uses volunteers from the community to come in and read children's letters to Santa Claus. The volunteers then are able to give back to the community by reaching out and buying presents for the neediest ones. They had a take on it in that movie Dear God, but unlike Greg Kinnear Operation Santa is actually a worthwhile cause.
The program is not in every city, but if you're in Chicago, St. Louis, New York, Boston, or Northern California - you could easily get involved.
Some of the letters are pretty heartbreaking and if you're looking to get into the Christmas spirit still, this could be a great way to do it. Even if you can't make it to a center, you can donate some cash to the cause or even pass this along to a few friends. As always, all of us here at Boosh Magazine wish you the best this holiday season and be sure to check back all break as we try to keep your mind amused.
Wiliam H. Macy will be replacing Jeremy Piven in the Broadway show, “Speed-the-Plow”, which has been breaking box office records for the past two months. According to Piven, he is retiring from Broadway and acting due to high levels of mercury in his blood.
In the eyes of the theater community, especially those associated with "Speed-the-PLow", Piven's dropping out is not cool. According to playwright David Mamot, "Piven should pursue a career as being a thermometer."
The move by Piven to leave the show early is pretty suspect, and there might be ulterior motives that went into making the decision. Has it
For starters, playwrite Mamot and Piven are rumored to not get along, which seems to now be out in the open after Mamot released his sharp comment about Piven's high mercury levels.
Funny stuff aside, the move by Piven to leave the show early is pretty weak, and there might be ulterior motives that went into making the decision. For starters, playwrite Mamot and Piven are rumored to not get along, which seems to be out in the open after Mamot released his sharp comment about Piven's high mercury levels.
We keyed our readers onto the webseries Long Distance Relationship a couple weeks ago. Whether you have undergone the distance-love-affair or not, the series is hilarious and is a great way to procrastinate in this time of uber study. So kick back, load it up, and enjoy.
But of course it wouldn't be a contest unless we were offerring our readers some free shit. The guys at Crackle have hooked us up with a pretty legit Prize Pack to help commemorate the last episode of their LDR webseries. All you have to do is tell us your tale of Long Distance Drama - don't play like you didn't hold onto a Highschool love affair when you marched off to college. Or at the very least, you know the story of a lonely dorm guy/girl who did the charade; so tell us about them falling off the wagon. Two sentences. Make us laugh and we'll send you all the stuff below. ALL OF IT! HURRAY!
Drew Peterson. The man has been called a "legend in his own mind" by previous ladyfriends. We just call him the douche ex-cop who is suspected of double homicide. With today's news that Mr. Peterson is engaged to a 23 year old mystery woman, it really got us thinking just how many women Peterson has been with and what his track record looks like. We run down the known ladies from Drew's life, from wives, to girlfriends, to fiances. All of which seem to get better with age while he progressively becomes a filthy old man. By the end, you too will be thinking: seriously, WTF?
Carol Brown
First Wife 1974-1980
Peterson's first wife Carol Brown was married to the young cop back in the 70s. They were married from 1974-1980 and had two sons together, one of which is a cop now in a neighboring Chicago suburb. Carol went public on Good Morning America last November to come to the defense of her ex, the first person we know of who has done so. The two divorced after she discovered he was having an affair, which may or may not have been with the 20 year old gas station clerk below. And while she claims he could be a little over-bearing at times, "never in a million years" would she imagine Drew doing something violent. LINK
Who has style? Greg Styles G. White has style. The Tampa Bay Buccaneers sophomore Defensive End has officially changed his name from Gregory Alphonso White Jr. to Stylez G. White. Unlike the Cincinnati Bengal’s Chad “Ocho Cinco” this name change actually has some sort of funny/retarded meaning. According to The Bucs Report:
White said he picked his new name from a character in the 1985 movie “Teen Wolf,’’ starring Michael J. Fox.
“That was his best friend’s name,’’ White said. “I always liked that name. It’s not that I don’t like Greg White.’’
I’m glad guys like Styles G. White and Chad Ocho Cinco are paving the way for future name changers like the always dangerous quarterback-receiver tandem of Burt Romo and Ernie Owens.
BOOSH MAGAZINE'S 2008 HOLIDAY GIFT GUIDE is here. We have scoured the internet for the past two months to bring our readers some must-haves for the holiday season. From simple stocking stuffers to things you "just gotta have", we've got you covered. And because we're feeling the whole "recession" and "economic explosion" like the rest of you, we've even hooked up some sweet discounts and free gear throughout theguide so you can celebrate the holidays on the cheap.
So browse through our stuff and pick up some cool shit for your roommates, family, or significant other. We already did the work for you, you just point-click. Don't worry, you dont have to thank us. But if you want to show your appreciation - we're a big fan of microbrews, especially Three Floydd's BubbleGum Head. A 6-pack will be just fine.
Boosh is never one to spread gossip like other college blogs seem to enjoy doing, but when one of our staff members received this e-mail we couldn't help but share it with you. Names have been changed and we omitted the University, but with how hilarious it is, it's probably only a matter of time before the whole story comes out. On with it:
So my friend goes to University of ####### and he received these messages from his
friend who was cheated on by his girlfriend. The first message is her
apology, the second is his response. Enjoy.
Tom,
It would be difficult for me to be any more miserable right now, I feel
like the worst person ever. First, let me start by saying that I am
truly truly sorry, and I hate myself for hurting you. Of all the people
in the whole entire world, you were honestly the last person that I
would ever want to wrong in any way.
There is no excuse at all for anything that happened, so I won't even
try other than to say all of us had WAY too much to drink, and I did a
stupid thing. I can handle you being pissed at me, I absolutely deserve
it, I can even handle the ugly words that were exchanged between us,
what I can't handle is thinking that you see me as a different person.
It is weird, the world looked funny yesterday, I couldn't crack a smile
if you paid me, there are songs I can't listen to, and I just feel
beyond crushed.
I don't know if you meant everything you said to me, and I am hoping that you didn't.
I know that I was wrong on many levels, but I am also hoping that this
is something that we can deal with. I know it sounds totally crazy and
stupid, I can't imagine my days without you. It is totally strange and
weird to say that, and you could say that my behavior didn't reflect
that, and you would be correct. I hate feeling like you hate me, and I
hate feeling like all of your friends think I am a terrible person,
because I am not. I know there is nothing I can say or do to take back
what happened. I am so sorry.
The riots are continuing in Athens, and the situation isn’t showing any signs of improvement. If you aren’t familiar with what is going on over there, here is a quick summary:
Seven days ago, police shot and killed a Athenian youth in what countless eye witnesses are calling murder.Within hours of the killing, riots broke out across Athens, and since then, violence has erupted in over 10 Greek cities and 200 million Euros worth of damage has been incurred in Athens alone.
Also, airports have been shut down and hospital and emergency personnel have walked off of their jobs. That doesn’t help ease the situation.
The current unrest in Greece is the worst the country has experienced since 1974.
Now the anger of street bound mobs has refocused on the suspect fiscal policy of the current government. As angry youth tossed Molotov cocktails at police, enraged citizens stormed the main branch of the National Bank of Greece and sent employees running for their lives.
This makes us look pretty good, but if our domestic financial decay continues, who knows what will happen. For a more detailed look at the chaos in Greece, click here.
With Christmas just around the corner, it’s important to get into the spirit of things, so bombard every aspect of your life with holiday cheer: dress only in red and green, deck the halls of your apartment in holly and Christmas lights, volunteer at your local homeless shelter, adopt a orphaned puppy and most importantly, be sure to only watch Christmas-themed porn.
The selection of Christmas-themed porn is wide ranging, and there is certainly something for everyone. These movies are guaranteed to give you a whole lot more to look forward to besides Santa coming down the chimney. Fyi; some movie cases that aren't displayed are a bit too graphic for us to show, so if you wanna see more just click the link, you dirty perv you.
Happy Horny Holiday Hos
Some girls like to spread their holiday cheer by spreading eagle on Santa’s face. This is a tale about those girls. Stellar acting takes center stage as "Sexy s!uts on winter vacation with voracious sexual appetites beg to be fed inches and inches of thick, long, candy cane."
Most people find thoughtful and useful gifts from loved ones in their Christmas Stockings. The female stars of this festive flick find something else, and after these stockings, they are no longer virgins in the booty.
The Passions of Carol
This 70's skin flick really puts the dick in Dickens. Based on “A Christmas Carol”, this movie puts a whole new spin on the classic holiday story, one without clothes. “I am the Ghost of Orgies Past.” Need I say more?
Funny-man Will Ferrell and FunnyOrDie have an awesome contest running from now until January 7th. For one person who quotes Anchorman on the regular, Ron Burgandy himself will call and leave you a voice mail. Share this with your frat bros. It will make your life epic. It will be personalized, unscripted, and most likely make billions of dollars in DVD sales. Your phone will instantly become the coolest thing at the party, even if you aren't.
While we're never quite sure what Will Ferrell will say in the message, we have some ideas:
"I'm in a glass case of emotion"
"I don't know how to put this but I'm kind of a big deal. People know me"
"Personal philosophy: Clothing optional"
"Well, let me give you a saying from Colonel Sanders. I am too drunk to taste this chicken."
"I've sent in my application to the Real World. So I'm hoping to hear back from that. I'm putting A LOT of my eggs into that basket, the MTV basket. I'm also thinking about getting a gun, and dealing crack. Being a crack dealer. Not like a mean crack dealer, but like... like a nice one. Kinda friendly like, "hey, what's up guys? Want some crack?" I'm just waiting on those two things to flesh themselves out."
"You don't talk to me that way! I am a division manager! I drive a Dodge Stratus!"
"My victory in Boston was as sweet as the cream pie from the city it's named after."
"I'm not stupid Lucious, no one lives forever, no one. But with advances in modern science and my high level of income, I mean it isn't crazy to think I can't live to be 245, maybe 300."
"Which of course in German means a whale's vagina."
"Mom, I honestly thought I was going to be raped for a second. He had the craziest look in his eyes and at one point he said 'let's get it on.'"
The internet has been a buzz the last week over pint-sized Don Juan, Alec Greven. The fourth-grader from Colorado has penned a book, “How to Talk to Girls”, which has been picked up by publishing giant HarperCollins and hit shelves two weeks ago.
The book includes such tips to the fellas like stop showing off, don’t look desperate, and avoid ‘pretty girls’.
“It is easy to spot pretty girls because they have big earrings and all the jewelry,” Alec told reporters at a NYC press stop. Since he’s in the Big Apple, he’ll probably also discover they usually roll deep with douchebags and are usually only worth the trouble for one evening of horizontal gymnastics. He says to stick with ‘regular girls’, because they don’t care how they look. Well said, sir.
The book was originally written as a $3 pamphlet for his elementary school’s book fair. Now you can get it for $10 on Amazon. Alec also has two other books, “How To Talk to Moms” and “How to Talk to Dads”. And to add to the joke that is your life because you can’t get your story published, dude’s been offered a six figure movie deal by FOX.
What no one else is talking about is how the kid has another book, a Children’s book, about Watergate Scandal. WTF? This whole thing is as messed up as the fact that that stupid ass book “The Game” is actually a best-seller.
We liked SNL’s take on the whole thing, take it away Andy Samberg:
As the semester comes to a close, so do those wonderful unpaid slave labor operations that we refer sweetly to as "internships". As an intern, especially in the media industry, times can be tough. Your main jobs usually include making copies, collating, and filing. And don't forget the coffee. With your internship done, it might be hard to look for the silver lining – especially if it was particularly bad. You may not have learned a thing other than office politics (which is a major learning experience) and left your resume in the hands of someone who will forget your name the minute you walk out the door. But think of it this way, it could've been a lot worse. We searched far and wide to find some of the worst intern stories just so you, the Boosh faithful, can rest a little easier.
Facebook Drama
"The Book" has become the unofficial background check for employers to see just how their fresh crop of candidates acts outside of the 9-5. While pictures of you wasted, puking in a dumpster are really humorous – your boss might not agree. One thing is for certain, he will definitely be pissed if he finds out how you really spend your day according to your Facebook status. Back in 2006, there was an article in Entrepeneur magazine highlighting a case from Ziggs.com where the bossman read his summer intern's description of his job as "screwing around on IM" and "talking to my friends and getting paid for it." The intern was confronted and promptly dismissed. WHOLE STORY
For those of you who live in caves, former SNL star Jimmy Fallon is taking over Conan's spot on NBC latenight this March and Mr. O'Brien is moving his show to the bigger spot: The Tonight Show. While every adult over 48 who still finds Jay Leno is upset, everyone else is pretty happy that their favorite late night comedian is getting a better time slot. But in recent days, there has been huge news at the Peacock and we want to make sure you hear all about it.
Late Night With Jimmy Fallon has started posting video blogs on their site announcing special parts of the show as they happen, all leading up to the first show on March 2nd. In the first video blog, Jimmy introduced us to his new digs in Studio 6B at Rockafeller Center, directly across the hall from Conan's current home. The stage was home to Milton Bearl and Johnny Carson, but something tells us Fallon won't quite rise to those levels of stardom. That was until he introduced his house band, The Roots.
The mothaf*ckin' Roots. A house band. Now that is sweet. Jimmy can fall flat on his ass for the first month of that show and I will still tune in to watch. Not sure if ?uestLove and Black Thought will be as witty as Max Weinberg, but at least they won't be as white as Kevin Eubanks.
We're in a recession kids. And while you may not have lost your retirement plan like some adults, your pennies are none-the-less being pinched a little tighter with the holidays just around the corner.The people over at PeopleJam cued us in on a concept we are all too happy to adopt - courting on a budget. So if the jolly atmosphere has you looking for love, or at least someone to hibernate with, here are some cheap ways to go about keeping that special someone around.
Date #1: Karaoke Bar
Voice of an angel or not, karaoke can be seriously entertaining - and cheap, if you don't need several drinks to unwind to get up and rock out. Most karaoke bars don't charge cover, and the music doesn't start until way after dinner. Eat at home, meet up, and party.
Price: $5 for a beer in the city. Or, if you choose the diet Coke router, you'll even have some money left over to tip the DJ. Good karma, good fun, and no taxi ride home required.
Boosh: Because we usually take a couple drinks before making fools of ourselves, partly for the courage and partly so we have an excuse for our actions the next morning, karaoke can be a double edged sword. Especially if you wander into a bar where the mic is owned all night by "the regulars".
We were approached last week by a PR firm offerring a crazy give away for a band that we've been using for a couple months now to get into "rage mode" on the weekend. The Eagles of Death Metal . And from the video below, if there's anything the music incites, it is sexy bedroom time. Which is why to promote their newest album, Heart On, EODM has teamed up with Babeland so you can pleasure your ears and the rest of your body at the same time.
So if it has just gotten too damn cold for you outside, how about taking some much needed "me-time" and deregulate your body from the stress of finals. Prizepack includes some sex toys, some lube & massage oils, and a copy of Eagles of Death Metal's latest release Heart On. Maybe win the contest and divvy it up amongst your housemates. Make leaving for Winter Break as awkward as you possibly can - and get some great tuneage to boot. Tell us why we should give this to you, best answer gets the prize. We'll let your mind crawl through the gutter on this one. Email us at broke@booshmagazine.com, winners will be contacted next week.
When it comes to college parties, a 23.3 inch tall silver cylinder on ice in the kitchen is all but a staple. The Keg is a party centerpiece. But where did it come from? One standard US keg contains 15 ½ gallons of the good stuff, which is supposed to equal about 165 twelve ounce servings. For those keeping track at home, that's equal to six and a half cases and 160 lbs of liquid courage. But while you know the keg well, it stands misunderstood by most who pray to it every Friday night. Do you know how it works?
ENGINEERING: Genius!
It's simple really. The push-lock at the top serves as the only opening, which keeps the keg pressurized. Once a keg loses pressure (i.e. tapped, broken) it only has about 18 hours of life left in it. A hand tap / party pump presses that lock down and opens up the circulation.
The opening chamber attaches to a 20" metal tube that draws the beer from the bottom of the keg directly into your glass. That way it keeps pumping til the very end. Because it draws from the bottom, you always want to make sure you ice the sides, not just toss a bag on the top. But there is more to the keg than just simple engineering.
How many bands do you know from New Hampshire? Actually - better that, how many people do you even know from New Hampshire? Well, starting in March, the answer will be at least 1. The new indie four-some straight out of "The Granite State", Wild Light, are sure to be Pitchfork's new BFF when their new album hits neighborhood record shops this March.
The band officially formed in the Spring of 2005 and has quickly made a name for themselves, sharing the stage with other indie mainstays such as LCD Soundsystem, Arcarde Fire, and Blonde Redhead. They've already rocked a packed house at Austin's SXSW and are playing at the Boston Music Awards this Sunday. The band just announced big 30-venue tour with every hipster's wet dream (and constant butt of Boosh jokes) Tapes N' Tapes kicking off January 15th. Which means you all will have a chance to check out this band live, even before Pitchfork can give you a thirty digit rating of the new album.
StarTime International, the record label that introduced hipsters nationwide to the likes of The Walkmen, will release Wild Light's Adult Nights March 3rd, 2009. But you don't have to wait until then to get a great song. You can score a free download of the addictive "California on the Mind" courtesy of RCRDLBL.com today. Not something to really rock at the Holiday Party, but should be a great addition to your 24-hour study binge soundtrack.
As we reported a couple weeks ago, the new NCAA Basketball 09 video game from the guys at EA Sports is as close to the real thing as you can get. With real life play calling and up to date player stats, the team you control in your dorm is almost identical to the team rocking the boards down the street; the only difference is time travel.
Yes. Time Travel. With the game as real as it can be, we're looking for all the Marty McFlys and Doc Browns out there who wish they could go back to last season and replay any match-up to hope for a different outcome. Whether it be the early round game that knocked your school out of the Tourney, the first round loss that cost you the office pool by one point, or like the rest of America you just want to see Duke fail. Whatever the reason, we want to hear what part of last season you'd like to see changed - and we want to help you do it.
Boosh has partnered up with EA Sports for the "Remember Last Season Give Away" where four lucky winners will get to play out their dream of reaching the Sweet 16 with a brand new copy of NCAA Basketball 09 on either Play Station 3 or XBOX 360. So send us your picks for the games you'd like to see replayed for a better outcome and we'll pick the best of the bunch. We'll post the winning matches here on the site for the world to see... so make 'em good.
Send an email to broke@booshmagazine.com with the subject "NCAA Give Away". Contest Ends 12/31/08.
Our esteemed sexologist Dick Newcastle sent us a video this afternoon and we laughed pretty hard. I did always wonder why A-ha's "Take on Me" video was so weird. I mean, seriously, where in the song does it talk about wrench fights with a crew straight out of A Clockwork Orange? Which is when we came across a YouTube trend we hadn't seen before, Literal Music Videos. These comedic geniuses have rewritten your favorite 80s tunes to better represent their video counterparts. We found four that were pretty great (including one 90s classic), and here they are in no particular order.
A-Ha - "Take on Me"
OTHER CLASSICS: Rick Astley, Tears for Fears, Red Hot Chilli Peppers
On September 1rst, the CW's ultimate "guilty pleasure" show Gossip Girl premiered a new season and over 3 million people tuned in to watch spoiled high school kids in New York City create teen-drama like woah. The editors threw an acoustic version of the pop-punk outfit, Motion City Soundtrack's song "Fell in Love Without You" behind the first ten minutes and for 30 seconds over the credits.
After the show, online sales for the b-side track jumped 999%, shot it to the #14 spot on iTunes Alternative Chart, and has continued to see close to 2,000 downloads each week. It even spurred the band to take a day off from their tour to film a video for it.
After Tom Petty played at last year's Super Bowl Halftime show, the album's "Greatest Hits" skyrocketed 196% with over 33,000 sales. "Free Fallin'" was purchased 63,000 times over the Internet the week after the show. The OC introduced countless acts such as Death Cab for Cutie and Modest Mouse to mainstream audiences and a track on Grey's Anatomy all but guarantees a fluctuation into the green on a new record.
But what is the deal with the TV show soundtrack phenomenon?
A lot of this can be attributed to the rise in digital music sales as a catalyst in the sales associated with being featured on a hit show. Some market specialists have estimated that digital sales will account for 40% of total music sales by 2012 (1). A lot can also be attributed to the plug made famous on the WB back when Dawson's Creek was the hot new thing.
For most college students, spring break is equivalent to Christmas and the 4th of July combined. It’s a refreshing getaway filled with fun in the sun, barely remembered wild nights that end with everyone howling as the sun rises, lusty hookups with people that you are guaranteed to never see again (unless the happen to go to your school) and everything in between.
We all know that times are tough and the economy is hanging above the abyss by a rusty and frayed wire, so chances are you aren’t trying to break the bank with expensive air fare in your quest for drunken sexy time hilarity.If you are worried that all you can afford is a case of Miller Lite, a high-powered sunlamp mounted in your living room and a Jimmy Buffet CD, don’t worry, because we have an alternative.
Here is the 411 on several affordable spring break options. You want rowdy, here you go.

It’s not Cancun, but then again, it isn’t Ohio either. Set on the eastern coast of Florida, Daytona Beach is the penny-wise getaway you have been dreaming of.With miles of beaches dotted with affordable giant resort hotels, and hours away from huge southern state schools, this place will be a hotbed of sexy gals strutting about in thongs and other similar visual delights.
An added bonus is that you can drive your car right onto the beach.That’s pretty cool if you ask me.Mix that with the ten tattoo parlors and dozens of bars within spitting distance of the beach, and you have one hell of a time.And if you like NASCAR, is there any other place to go?
*Other Locations: Panama City Beach, South Padre Island, Ensenada, MX, Puerto Penasco, MX, and Savannah.
If you don’t know him already, let me introduce you to MF Doom, a.k.a. Victor Vaughn a.k.a. The Super Villain. He is one of the most unheard of and most talented producers/ emcees on the face the Earth.
Aside from wearing a metal mask, Doom enjoys partaking in other accentric activities, like pulling trickery where he fails to show up to his own concerts and has imposters assume his identity onstage. You have to be good to pull some bullshit like that, and believe me, he is.
Although pulling shit on concert goers might not be the best PR move, it has built a ton of mystique around MF Doom. Who is the man behind the metal mask? The answer to that question might lie in discovering his first project, an obscure (and awesome) early nineties hip hop group called KMD, which Doom produced and rapped in.
In Jan of 2009, MF Doom is set to release his next album, titled Born into This. His last 2 efforts, Doomsday and MMM…Food have been absolutely stellar in every sense of the word, so this new record should hopefully be just as good if not better.
Hidden track off of MMM...Food.
More videos on full story, including live footage of the real and fake MF Doom.
If you are headed abroad next semester or for a short J-term, chances are pretty good you already started mentally prepping for a bit of culture shock. Especially if you have never left the American bubble before. The food, the languages, the metric system; all the changes can be overwhelming.
But don't be so worried, a lot of countries have adopted certain aspects of American culture and nowhere else are the Stars & Stripes more prevalent than the music industry.So even though you won't be sitting stateside, it only takes a flip of the radio to get right back in the thick of things.

After Obama captured the nomination, Americans everywhere were given insight into how in tuned the rest of the world is with what we do here on our home turf. Music is no exception. Not only do popular American artists make it big over seas, but American culture is very prevalent in foreign music. Such could not be seen better than in this Bollywood clip by one of India's big stars, Shahrukh Khan. There are more Stars & Stripes than a 4th of July Parade and absolute hilarity at 2:36.

When it comes to Thanksgiving, there is more to the table setting than just a turkey and stuffing. You take one night out and throw a ton of people you barely see other than during the holidays, otherwise known as your family, and engage in awkward conversation while avoiding several elephants that may be sitting in the room. Every family has their own closet skeletons and all that built up tension imbedded in dinner conversation can be unhealthy. So we here at Boosh want you to take a deep breath and break some ice with some Thanksgiving themed mixers sure to be a hit this season.

There is something about a sexy hippie chick that makes me want to howl at the moon. Maybe it’s just the hangover from attending school in Colorado for five glorious years, but to me, nothing beats a sexy little gal sporting Birkenstocks and some well-kept dreads. Call it granola fever, Patchouli madness or weed goggles, but don’t pretend like you aren’t in my boat. Admit it, you’ve always wanted to get some from a hot girl that looks like she just got off tour from Phish or Moe.
For those of us that aren’t drug dealers or eccentric nature-loving d-bags, the opportunity to bag a hippie Betty has never presented itself. This is because hippie girls are the biggest and most exclusive snobs around. They are way worse than girls obsessed with designer shoes, expensive hair do’s or fancy cars. Hippie girls are idealistically snobby, which means if you aren’t a hippie and don’t hug trees, you’d better start playing the part if you want a chance. Here are some tips for anyone that wants to get horizontally tangled with a sexy flower child.
Start listening to Jam Bands or any sort of music that incorporates a lot of hand drumming.
It’s a known fact that hippie girls are huge music snobs, even if the music that they are snobbish about consists of five guys on mushrooms playing a three-chord progression over and over for 45 minutes. It is important to become familiar with bands like Moe, String Cheese Incident, Robert Randolph, Yonder Mountain String Band, and The Disco Biscuits. Name-dropping bands like these will definitely get granola chicks to notice you. You may find the music totally intolerable, but suck it up; life is all about sacrifices.
Talk about all the music festivals that you went to and how awesome they were (even if you didn’t go to any).
Hippie girls love to go to summer music festivals. Because they all have trust funds, it’s the equivalent to a summer job for them. When you are hanging out with a tribe of trust-a-farians, make sure to talk about how awesome all the summer festivals that you attended were, even if you didn’t attend any. You can take comfort in knowing that all music festivals are all the same, so there is no need to get into specifics. Just say, “Oh man, String Cheese was killer,” or comment, “that festie’s camping area was definitely a really killer time dude.” Then be sure to let out a drugged-out laugh to imply that you were on some hard-core hallucinogenic substances throughout the event. That will definitely score points.
If you grew up on Homeward Bound like most of us at the Boosh office did, than you’re bound to like Disney’s newest animated film Bolt. Bolt is a Truman Show-meets-Homeward Bound story about a dog who stars in a constructed reality TV show. His scripted life becomes exposed during a cross country journey back to his “person.”
Bolt (John Travolta), an adopted dog, stars in a TV show featuring him as a genetically altered superdog who uses his powers to protect his person, Penny (Miley Cirus), from a supervillian, The Green Eyed Man. But because he has spent his entire life on the set, he’s completely unaware of reality and instead, believes in the show’s surreal plotline. The show is incredibly popular among children (and animals) all across the country since his acting performance is flawless.
He unknowingly escapes the set and gets mailed from the film studio in Hollywood to New York. Bewildered by his new environment, Bolt holds a cat named Mittens hostage as they cross the country in search for Penny.

Since the fall of the Roman Empire, the lines between gay and straight have never been so skewed until now. With the support of major media, alternative lifestyles are considered to be hip and trendy. Just ask Lindsay Lohan. 
Minneapolis-based hip hop star P.O.S. has a new album, which makes us happy. It isn't just because he has great lines with awesome beats that we like P.O.S., or that he's kind of goofy from times. It's the fact that the guy has become a solid bridge between rock and hip hop. Never Better is the rapper's latest effort after his successful 2006 release, Audition. The album has a pulsating beat that aligns with the fact that the majority of the verses were written in a moving car. He conjures the imagery of getaways, racing , and the inevitable nighttime drives.

As the semester comes to a close, so do those wonderful unpaid slave labor operations that we refer sweetly to as "internships". As an intern, especially in the media industry, times can be tough. Your main jobs usually include making copies, collating, and filing. And don't forget the coffee. With your internship done, it might be hard to look for the silver lining – especially if it was particularly bad. You may not have learned a thing other than office politics (which is a major learning experience) and left your resume in the hands of someone who will forget your name the minute you walk out the door. But think of it this way, it could've been a lot worse. We searched far and wide to find some of the worst intern stories just so you, the Boosh faithful, can rest a little easier.
