Looking Back On The Cultural Milestone That Was American Pie

I happened to catch good ol' American Pie on Starz! this weekend (Working Title: American Pie 1: American Not-Total-Garbage), and while I still know the movie inside and out from my youthful and more vibrant years, this was the first time I was really able to watch the film with a truer sense of 90s historical context, much like the first time someone watched Better Off Dead in 1994 and thought "what the hell was going on in that decade?" My reactions to the 2008 American Pie viewing: -- Why does Jason Biggs f*ck the pie in the middle of the kitchen? We all had our masturbation hangups in high school (I was more of a Cake man myself... the band Cake, I mean... I mean, I masturbated with Cake CDs... I'm still talking?) but even the horniest braindead teen knows not to do it in the damn kitchen. Eugene Levy's character was probably more shocked by his son's lack of basic masturbatory etiquette than his decision to use baked goods. -- The school choir is f*cking TERRRRRRRRIBLE!!! The film still dubs over their voices with recorded singing in the unconvincing but somehow-acceptable way that all movie musicals do, but they're dubbed with their own really sh*tty voices. I was watching with a choir vet and every second they were on screen was causing her severe pain (Dramatization). -- Not that I'm disputing the film's necessary inclusion of the Nadia nude scene, but why does Nadia have to change her underwear when she gets out of her ballet clothes? And does she not expect anyone to be the slightest bit suspicious / concerned when she spends twenty minutes locked in the room, changing her clothes and making aroused noises? -- Between the Stifler "jizz in the beer cup" scene and the Fat Bastard stool sample from Austin Powers 2, 1999 was a great year for long, drawn out scenes where you keep expecting someone to drink a bodily discharge but they keep not doing it then they eventually do and everyone goes "oooohhhhhHHH!!!!!" -- Chris Klein's decision to leave the lacrosse g

LISTEN UP: iPhone Might Be Too Cool to Hang Out With Me

Apple's iPhone apparently has some good taste in music, sporting the likes of Beck, Lily Allen, Feist, and Nine Inch Nails, among others, in its newest commercial. I wonder if it'll also have my iPod's bizarre sense of humor and go out of its way to play the same three Dinosaur Jr. songs every time I put it on shuffle. (Music For Kids Who Don't Read Good) Extrawack! has an interview with Vince DiFiore, the trumpet player from Cake, along with an mp3 of the band covering Black Sabbath's "War Pigs." Next up on their series of exclusive interviews: the dude from Mighty Mighty Bosstones who only dances. The weather forecast for the East Coast is looking awfully Nico-ey for the next couple days. Prepare your tunes accordingly. (Art Decade) I think listening to The Pipettes and Smoosh back to back might be intensely sugary enough to actually give someone diabetes. In a good way, of course. (Information Leafblower) Finally, Pittsburgh's own Gregg Gillis - aka Girl Talk - throws down this ridiculous remix of a Tokyo Police Club song. I haven't been this proud of a band from my hometown since Rusted Root did that Peter Bjorn & John remix. Man, now I'm kind of wishing that were real. (I Guess I'm Floating)
