Diplo, 'Chasing The Dragon' [Tunes]: The DJ behind Major Lazer, M.I.A. and Robyn, has released an old school mix of 60's and 70's rock and soul. No singles, no tracklist, this is purely 64 minutes of good times for your next outdoor bbq. You can also download the mp3 to Itunes for future listening here. That foreign sample of the Stone's 'Paint It Black' is killer, and don't sleep on the Michael Damian shout out (you know the song, Rock On).

Like Drinking Ten Lightnings!: Would you be interested in watching the pilot episode of David Cross' new show, co-starring Will Arnet and Spike Jonze? 'The Increasingly Poor Decisions of Todd Margaret' was picked up in Britain and will premier on the IFC this fall. This show isn't to be confused with Will Arnett's Running Wilde, which will premiere on Fox this fall as well. Apparently Christmas has come early for Arrested Development fans.

It's a Mad Mad Mad Men World: This website absolutely crushes the fashion featured in Mad Men. Don't believe me? Just scroll down to read the bit about Roger Sterling's office (picture above).

It turns out, like most things, it's a lot more boring than we'd like to imagine. Still, the notion of owning both the Mavs and Rangers just to hold the television networks hostage to a bidding war is fascinating. Let's hope this isn't the last we hear of Mark Cuban in baseball.

Sounds Like Someone Had A Case of the Mondays: Lost in the hoopla surrounding the Jet Blue Bandit's slip and slide moment is this blogger's posting from his experience being on the plane. Not much new to report, but it's interesting to read a near real time take on the incident outside of the mainstream media glare. The line "to the passenger that just called me a motherf----r, f--k you" needs to be worked into a rap song immediately.

Baseballs Before and After Hoes: This kid shows some veteran moxie by claiming he 'lost a ball in the lights' when he bailed out of the way of a baseball that hit her girlfriend. Curious as to why he's the one holding the baseball after that display.

The Best Catch of the Year: In case anyone hasn't seen this yet, it's straight out of a Spiderman influenced Manga comic:



And just because I feel like it needs to be in here, a bonus second video, the Double Rainbow all the way:
