[watch] Troy & Abed Christmas Rap

And to think, this show is in danger of cancellation, but garbage like Whitney and it’s creepy laugh track is miraculously still on the air.  To be honest, I really shouldn’t be that surprised that one of the funniest, most clever, and well-written series on TV right now is fighting for survival…isn’t that right Arrested Development, Freaks and Geeks, and Party Down?

Anyways, enough with the negativity.  This has probably been posted everywhere by now, but I just watched the last episode of Community last night, so here you go.  By the way, if you haven’t watched this episode, DO IT!  Best episode of the season, maybe the series, and if it’s not at least nominated for an Emmy, I’ll cry foul-play (and maybe even cry a little bit).  This scene in particular was my favorite.  Troy (Donald Glover aka Childish Gambino) and Abed (Danny Pudi aka seriously funny guy) bust out the best Christmas rap since Run DMC’s “Christmas in Hollis”. (music at 00:40)

[watch] Lykke Li//Youth Knows No Pain

Anytime something from Lykke Li shows up in my inbox, I pay attention.  This little gem was waiting for me today, an acoustic session of “Youth Knows No Pain” (from Wounded Rhymes).  Enjoy.

[watch] Life’s a Happy Song

Zachary Scott for The New York Times

The marketing for The Muppets has been fantastic and this latest bit is one of the best ones yet.

In the video below, Bret McKenzie (Flight of the Conchords) and Kermit the Frog (The Muppets) perform the film’s opening song — “Life’s a Happy Song”.  (Fun fact: McKenzie served as the film’s music supervisor and also wrote the film’s songs)

The Muppets hit theaters this Wednesday (11/23) and the soundtrack is out now (iTunes).

[watch] Childish Gambino Live on Conan

Childish Gambino was on Conan earlier this week in support of his recently released LP, Camp.  He performed one of my favorite tracks, “Heartbeat”, and he absolutely killed it.

Camp is most likely gonna end up as my favorite hip hop album of 2011 and if you haven’t given it a proper listen, you’re definitely missing out.  Go hear it now on Spotify or simply take my word for it and just download it on iTunes.

[watch] Michael B. Goode

Marty McFly lives!

Michael J. Fox flashed his guitar skills on Chuck Berry’s “Johnny B. Goode” a la the “Back To The Future” finale a la the “Enchantment Under the Sea” dance at his annual Parkinson’s disease benefit.  Fun fact: The “Enchantment Under the Sea” dance, coincidentally, took place on the same night as the fundraiser, 56 years earlier.

Enjoy.

and if you haven’t seen “Back To The Future” (what’s wrong with you?), here’s the original performance
