Science is turning our beloved animal friends into droids of war!
Researchers at Brown are studying bat flight in order to design tiny, unmanned spy planes, and robotics company Boston Dynamics has developed BigDog, a semi autonomous rough-terrain robot.
Why no one had ever had the insight to film a club jam outside a convenience store before is a mystery to me. They provide a dusky atmosphere and plenty of soft drinks. JdR points out that the dude that this chick is dancing with is not going to give her love. Luckily, JdR has the solution. Sleep with him now, just say the word and they’ll go, he’ll be the teacher, show her the ropes. He repeats his solution a few times mostly because it’s the chorus but also because he really cares about her and wants to see her problem solved. Ok, while all that was good, the next verse is just KILLER. In case the chick was confused by his mind games he goes on to negate all the great game he just spat. I would compare him to a great novelist right here, but I actually can’t remember anyone in the canon who’s ever written/done/thought anything that baller.He explains that “some girls know all the right things to say (ey aaaay)” BUT “when it comes down to it, it’s all just ga-ay-ayme.” Then he explains more about how he is great at sex. That’s pretty cool also.Basically Jason DeRulo is the greatest rhetorician since, like, Cicero, but probably gets laid a lot more so yeah he wins.
THIS AND MORE CONTROVERSIAL OPINIONS IN THIS WEEK’S INDY!
Yeah, so we all know that Wall Street has some major issues. A great vampire squid wrapped around the face of humanity, dare I say? But parrot-thieving is taking it too far this time. This Thursday, a Pennsylvania woman reported to the BBC that a Bank of America official broke into her house, turned off her utilities, poured anti-freeze into her plumbing, and kidnapped her parrot. When she finally retrieved Luke from the offices of her contractor, she said that he “initially seemed nervous, but is fine now.” Thank God.
At the Diamond Maruti Car Circus in Delhi, India, Nascar is combined with the classic “Gravitron” carnival ride. Riders rely on centrifugal force in order to cling onto the track walls. Please note the cameraman’s whimpering in the background, while the actual riders retain a relatively blase attitude towards the whole “I’m-driving-my-car-up-a-wall” thing.
The Dovers were a California garage rock-pop band of the mid 1960s. This song, “What Am I Going To Do?” was released as a single for Miramar records in 1965. The Dovers are revered among collectors for having released some of the finest singles in the ’60s garage-pop style. The best of their songs combine Beatles/Byrds-influenced guitars, melodies, and vocals with a distinctively angsty, messy, teen garage sound.
Atlas Sound sampled the riff for their song “Walkabout” featuring Animal Collective’s Noah Lennox on their 2009 album, Logos.
