All American males from 15-35 are probably well acquainted with Adult Swim. They’re known for the irreverent adult-oriented cartoons (including my personal favorite Metalocalypse), however, they have recently released a very interesting CD titled “ATL Remix”. The concept of the CD was to take some of the best rap/hip-hop artists from Atlanta (B.o.B., Gucci Mane, Young Jeezy, Lil’ Jon, OJ Da Juiceman, etc.) and get their songs remixed by some of the best artists the hipster world has to offer (HEALTH, Drums of Death, Memory Tapes, Dam-Funk, PHASEONE, etc).

As you might suspect, the overall CD is hit or miss but that’s not to say the CD doesn’t have some great songs on it. Regardless, Adult Swim was kind enough to offer up the entire CD for free right HERE.

It also includes streaming previews if you don’t want to continue to clog your already slow moving computer OR you can just trust us and download two of Handsome’s favorite songs from the album below.

P.S. “Patna Dem” is my new favorite phrase. I have no idea what it means or how to use it in the proper context, but it’s still rad.

Flight of The Conchords will be no more. Bret and Jemaine made a statement on the FOTC website that they will not return for a third season of their HBO show after two exceptional seasons and albums. Here’s their statement:

“We’ve noticed the less we say about the future of the show, the more people want to talk about it, so in an effort to reverse this trend we are today announcing that we won’t be returning for a third season,” the statement reads. “We’re very proud of the two seasons we made and we like the way the show ended.”

There’s two positive elements to this devastation. Firstly, the duo confirms “While the characters Bret and Jemaine will no longer be around, the real Bret and Jemaine will continue to exist.” Second, director Jared Hess (Napoleon Dynamite, Nacho Libre) has a new movie called Gentlemen Broncos coming out in 2010 staring Jemaine.

Don’t cry. Instead, watch this trailer.

7 minutes of beauty one-liners followed by Roger Daltrey’s wail.

When Eastbound & Down debuted I thought I’d check it out not anticipating much more than a mildly entertaining half hour. The Will Ferrel and Danny McBride comedy combo was really impressive. It’s one of the funniest shows in the last few years and not only that, the arguably shallow-humoured show left me emotional at the end of their six episode season.

Now, Eastbound & Down is available for you through their Season One DVD as well as a Men.Style interview with Danny McBride on living life as Kenny Powers. Check it one time:

Hey! Kenny Powers! Fuck you!
Ha, ha, yeah. Greetings from Belfast.

Do you get that a lot? People talking to you as if you are, in fact, Kenny Powers?
Well, I do get a lot of shots thrown my way in bars, these days—people yelling, “Hey! Kenny!” I figure it comes with the territory, because I play Kenny on the show, and I also write the show, so people assume we must be the same person, more or less. I’m cool with that. I mean, I’ve dedicated so much of myself to getting that fucking thing on the air, it’s flattering when I get some recognition. If people are still yelling “Hey, fuck you, Kenny Powers!” at me in five years, maybe I’ll feel different.

Is there stuff you put on, on the Eastbound set, that immediately gets you into Kenny Powers mode?
Those shirts are one thing. That was a big focus for us, putting together the costumes—you know, things like big V-necks with lots of breathability. That’s not anything I wear. And for me, there’s a lot of Kenny in the hair—like, when he’s in celebrity mode, he slicks it back. The costumes and the hair and all that, that stuff is actually pretty key for him as a character, because with Kenny, when he has big mental changes, it starts from the outside. You know he’s in trouble any time he’s got that all-black look going on.

How so?
You know, it’s him getting all “man in black,” trying to put on this rock-star attitude, that sets him back. The moment he got so consumed with this image of himself as a famous person, Mr. Not-To-Be-Fucked-With, that was when he lost his fastball. I think you see that a lot—when a person stops focusing on whatever it was that made him famous and starts thinking too much about just being famous, it’s all downhill. Kenny’s definitely absorbed in all the trappings.

The rest of the interview…

This commercial for the upcoming Wii version of the classic NES game Punch Out has got me excited.

It seems Mike Tyson’s previous endorsement has been dropped (probably a good thing) but all the important things remain. You’ll still fight as Little Mac and take on cartoon inspired foes, trying to prove yourself as the best boxer of all time. It looks like all the favorites will return; Doc Louis in your corner, King Hippo being fat, Glass Joe sucking so hard my 5 year self could whip his ass, and even Bald Bull being bald.

Watch the commercial and remember a time when it didn’t take a Masters Degree to be able to run a play in Madden Football.

I think Aziz Ansari is a pretty funny dude. I caught this bit of him as a guest of Jimmy Kimmel and thought he tore it up pretty hard. Although the entire interview was Aziz dropping material, it was still one of the funniest “interviews” I’ve seen lately. Plus he’s brown which is awesome for brown people everywhere. PLUS he’s dark brown which is awesome for dark brown people everywhere. Has anybody else noticed his beard gets less prominent as his success increases?

Flight of the Conchords played Massey Hall last night in their first of two sold out and re-sold shows. They played a pretty solid show of songs from episodes, a few new ones and some excellent banter in between. The show was kicked off by an opening act from Eugene Mirman who you may know as Eugene the landlord on Flight of the Conchords. He played a subtle, witty, low energy set largely based on his hatred towards Delta Airlines for losing his bags.

Jemaine and Bret were completely in character, which made me think there is no alter-ego for them. Jemaine and Bret could really be just like Jemaine and Bret on HBO. From when they opened to “Too Many Dicks on the Dance Floor” to closing with “Issues (Think about it)” it was evident Flight of the Conchords is concerned with the world today. Although Jemaine seemed to be dominating in terms of stage presence especially with his exceptional dance moves both boys had their moments. Looking forward to season 3 of Flight of the Conchords and some sugar lumps.

Here’s some of my favourite Flight of the Conchords songs:

This is the coolest video I’ve ever seen.

Carousel was created by Adam Berg and is a promotional video for the Cinema 21:9 LCD TV by Philips. The video was insipired by The Dark Knight and you can check it in HD on the Philips site.

Seinfeld played two of his four Toronto shows last night at Massey Hall. If you’re reading this in time, stop and figure out how you’re going to get tickets to see him tonight. The show was historical. From the moment he sprinted dramatically on stage one couldn’t help but smile. Hearing his voice live was surreal. Hours of sitting in front of your television watching Seinfeld suddenly came rushing through the forefront of your consciousness causing a single tear to descend.

Once everybody got over the fact that he does exist in three dimensions, the laughter was continuous. Seinfeld boasted 99% new material primarily based on his observations of everyday occurrences, staying true to his old material. As he flew threw material on self-righteous coffee drinkers, socially-inadequate Blackberry users and the poor domestic instincts of fathers, it was evident that he created the characters of his television show. Kramer, Elaine, George and Jerry came through on the stage as he ran back and forth during impressions of your life while throwing screaming tantrums on the lack of legitimacy of the 5 Day Forecast on the weather channel.

In his encore, he asked the crowd what they wanted to hear of his old material and also entertained questions. Here’s a couple of insider secrets. 1. His favourite character besides himself from his television show was Newman. 2. The entire cast of Seinfeld will be appearing on HBO’s Curb Your Enthusiasm this season.

If you’re a fan and haven’t read it already, check out Jerry’s book “SeinLanguage“. It’s not quite his live show, but still an exceptional read.

I’m so happy I came across this video. Last night South Park aired an episode that was completely devoted to making fun of Mr. West. Now it’s probably not known by a lot of you who read this blog but there is almost a constant dialogue at Handsome HQ as to whether Kanye West is good or a supreme tool. As you can tell, I fall into the latter category. There was even a time where a “Kanye Ban” had to be instated on the blog because I simply could stand how many posts their were about him.

Well this episode helps me in proving my point. It’s all about how Kanye doesn’t get the joke when someone asks him if he likes fish sticks and he replies yes and then they call him a gay fish (for those of you who don’t get the joke… the reason it is funny is because fish sticks phonetically sounds like fish dicks… not so funny when you have to explain it). Anyways, Kanye ends up not understanding the joke and is so pre-occupied with his ego that he becomes extremely angry. There is a great scene where he is talking about how much of a genius he is and then proceeds to write “Fish Sticks + Me = Gay Fish” on a whiteboard in an attempt to figure out the correlation. In the end he realizes that he is in fact a gay fish and proceeds to enter the sea to put fish dicks in his mouth. BRILLIANT!
