an outkast in hobbiton?

Firstly, to celebrate my growing enthusiasm for the final Lord Of The Rings movie, and, of course, to celebrate goofy linkage, here's the walking directions to Mordor, courtesy a Hobbit's favorite map website.

Secondly, since I accidentally recorded a bunch of music videos instead of The New Tom Green Show the other night, it's worth talking about the new face of stylish and funky mainstream hiphop. If you witness Pharrell Featuring Jay-Z (mm, Neptunes) and both of the new Outkast videos, it feels like.. some serious spark is back in the tunes? People like the Neptunes aren't afraid to branch off and help other, more quirky artists such as Kenna, too, and it's nice to have some mainstream, Top 40 American music that actually feels quality. I put it down to Snoop getting off the weed, personally.
