Remember that one time I posted a video of a flying humanoid figure that a “leading Mexican UFO researcher” had proclaimed to totally, unquestionably “real”? Well apparently, if you listen to the version of the video without the creepy X-Files music, you can hear a woman looking through binoculars tell the assembled crowd that it’s just a bunch of balloons. I don’t know though, I’m still holding out for proof that it’s an alien on a jetpack or a Carlos Castaneda-type Don Juan character on some gait of power shit…

Video Matt had a banner weekend, hitting up the Stockton, CA date of the Rockstar Get a Life Tour to meet up with The Used, Straylight Run, Street Drum Corps and artist Alex Pardee. Check out The Used performing The Bird and the Worm above, and check out the rest of the footage, including two more live cuts from The Used on our YouTube channel NOW!

Here’s a little something Video Matt and I put together for you. It’s story time, kids! Today I’ll be reading a story by Sean Daley and Anthony Davis of Atmosphere that comes with the special edition of When Life Gives You Lemons, You Paint That Shit Gold. Enjoy!

Tomorrow is the first Saturday in May, which means it’s time to bust out your widest brimmed hat and celebrate the 20 galloping three-year olds of the Kentucky Derby! Go, ponies, go! Which noble steed will stand tall and proud, draped in a blanket of roses, posing for pictures in the winner’s circle at Churchill Downs? Will it be Big Brown? Colonel John? Or an upset??? Regardless, you betta be boozed up on the traditional Kentucky Derby drink: The Mint Julep!
