The pictures above are of the latest winner of the world record for number of cards stacked. American architect Brian Berg has successfully constructed a replica of the Venetian Macau (which is in China), using 218,792 cards(4,051 decks) and no glue or anything like it. The structure took 44 days...

After months of waiting, Michael Jackson’s autopsy results have been released.  Though the cause of death never exactly seemed to be in question, many interesting facts have now been revealed, and the truths have come to light.   By truths of course, I am referring to his bizarre plastic surguries,...

I posted the first version of this video, and it made probably less sense than this new one.  The fact is that I like Cudi, I just kinda hated his album, even though I tried really hard to like it.  So now I get happy when I hear or see anything redeemable from him.  That being said, enjoy the new...

Check out the new video from Talib Kweli & DJ Hi-Tek, also known as Reflection Eternal. This is their first project since 2000. Look out for their forthcoming album “Revolutions Per Minute,” due out April 20th. Hip Hop Lives! Reflection Eternal – In This World (Official Video)Reflection...

I swear these guys are going for the MTV Video Music Award for Lifetime Achievement. Check out the video for their new single “This Too Shall Pass,” it’s pretty damn cool.

One of the hardest tasks of running this site, is this particular column, which I feel is the most important of them all.  The CMG feature is something that is done only once a month, and features a subject that personifies what the idea of a “Cool Married Guy” is all about.  In my head,...

I found this on Kanye West’s site, and I always give things I find on there a listen. Often times I will get turned on to a group or an artist that I would have never even heard of, let alone gotten a chance to sample their music. As I watched this ridiculously quirky video, I just kept hoping...

This is off Nas and Damian Marley’s new collaborative album “Distant Relatives, that no one knows a release date for. For those of you who don’t know, Nas is considered one of the greatest rappers of all time, and Damian (yes, that Marley) is Bob Marley’s son. I dig it. Check...

Got this email from my friend just now, had to pass it along. Friday night I went to see this dj Gilles Peterson in Brooklyn. It was so dope. One of those nights where you thank your stars you’re living in a city with good music. He played a lot of old soul stuff from his famous crate digging,...

Wow, has this been a musical week at CMG or what? Last night I caught this song and dug it, A LOT. Broken Bells is the new project of uber-producer Dangermouse (Gnarles Barkley, The Grey Album, etc), and James Mercer of the Shins, who frankly I don’t know much about. I was drawn to this song...

I’m reaching a point in my life where I’m having a little easier of a time accepting good music from any source. Though there is still a grace period of me thinking things like “I can’t like this song, it’s by some wacky hipsters,” I’m starting to accept that...

I don’t often post music on this site, though it is my first love. That is not a reflection of anything other than the state of music, and what is the unfortunate truth: there’s not a lot of music being released that inspires me to share it with my readers. I also don’t want this...

Very interesting documentary on sampling music from PBS, if you’re into that sort of thing (which I totally am). Enjoy! To learn more or purchase the entire documentary go here Source: BBC Ice Cream
