A tall, icy glass of our favorite internet junk, just for you. Clutch is putting out a live CD/DVD called Full Fathom Five. It's due out on August 12th on the band's own label, Weathermaker Music. You can get an MP3 download of a song off it right here. (Via Matt) Thanks probably in large part to the tireless work of The official McFLY 2015 project, Nike is finally going to put out "Air McFlys,"......

A steaming hot pile of our favorite things from around the internets. Mmm! Bacon floss! (Via Amy) You can download Girl Talk's new album, Feed the Animals, for any price you choose. Although if you pick 0.00, you will have to explain yourself. (Via D-Mac) The next episode of Cinematic Titantic is now available! This time the MST3K alums are making fun of a lame sci-fi flick called The Doomsday Machine. You can download it......

The best of the internet, chopped into tiny bits and grilled for your enjoyment. The villain in the next Iron Man film just might be The Mandarin; director Jon Favreau had some interesting things to say about the character. (Via Ross) The New York City Opera has commissioned Charles Wuorinen to compose an opera based on "Brokeback Mountain," the short story that has already famously been adapted into a movie. The opera is scheduled to......

A steaming hot pile of our favorite things from around the internets. Friend and famous local tech dude Tom Boutell has unveiled the public beta of his alternative to iSEPTA. It provides scheduling data on SEPTA trains, subways, trolleys, and buses, and supports not just the iPhone, but pretty much any web-enabled phone. It's called septime. Check it out. (Via) Enjoy a hilarious video critique of the worst DVD ever. If you have seen the......

The shapeless dough of the internet, formed into tasty pellets and baked to perfection, just for you. Today is Tax Day. If you're not feeling so jolly about paying your income taxes, Irving Berlin and Danny Kaye can help (via Jill). If you're still depressed after that, just go get yourself a free donut at Dunkin' Donuts; they're giving one out today to anybody who buys a coffee. Speaking of taxes, we're depressed that digital......

This Phillyist would like to thank a certain pink-haired girl for introducing me to one of the greatest bands to come out of Southern California in the '90s: The Mountain Goats. Singer-songwriter John Darnielle is pretty much the only permanent member of the band, although he's been accompanied by Peter Hughes for quite a while now, along with a shifting group of other people. The lyrics are powerful, intelligent, character-driven, and literate—but don't worry, there's......

The shapeless dough of the internet, formed into tasty pellets and baked to perfection, just for you. The new poster for Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull is online, and it looks awesome. When we start having previews for previews, we may have gone too far. Still, this ad for the premiere of the Hulk trailer is kind of neat. If you want the specifics, the trailer will air tomorrow night at......

The shapeless dough of the internet, formed into tasty pellets and baked to perfection, just for you. Djimon Hounsou revealed at a press junket that he’ll be starring in his dream project soon, which he described only as a comic book trilogy. Could he be playing Luke Cage? Black Panther? Or does it have something to do with Tintin? We'll just have to wait and see. What would it look like if Saul Bass did......

In about a week and a half, singer/songwriter Johnathan Rice is going to be down at Stubb's in Austin, supporting no less a band than R.E.M. at South by Southwest. But luckily for those of us who live up here in Philly and won't be able to make it to the big party in Austin, Rice is currently touring with Matt Costa, and will be a little closer to us tomorrow night, at the First......

The best of the internet, squirted out in flavorful neon globules, just for you. We don't normally like Sarah Silverman, or Jimmy Kimmel, but we have to admit, her music video about Matt Damon, and Jimmy Kimmel's response, are pretty funny. A far filthier parody can be found here, just make sure to keep the headphones on. (Via Jill) Ladies and gentlemen, we present the new pinnacle of food: the meat bundt. (Via Sarah) Wow.......

Despite their name, NYC four-piece Vampire Weekend (MySpace) is not a shoe-gazing, emo goth band. In fact, their self-titled debut LP, just released at the end of last month, is perhaps best described as "sunny" - the very antithesis of a vampire's idea of a good weekend. This band, beloved of many blogs (including us), performs bouncy, funny, clever, retro indie/punk/pop/New Wave songs about love. Their music is so fun it feels like there has......

A tall, icy glass of our favorite internet junk, just for you. Yet another thing you can do with the all-purpose food that is bacon: make vodka out of it! (Via Sarah) Cool pics of a new stage in Super Smash Bros. Brawl that re-imagines the first level of Super Mario Bros. And every once in a while, it will randomly load up the second, underground level instead. (Via) Scott Adams got his readers to......

A tall, icy glass of our favorite internet junk, just for you. Nintendo has released its lineup of DS and Wii releases for the first half of 2008. WiiWare will also be launching in that time period, supposedly. And Myst will be coming to your DS in March. Steve Jobs' 90-minute keynote at MacWorld was just too long, which is why this version of the keynote, edited down to just 60 seconds (via), is so......

The shapeless dough of the internet, formed into tasty pellets and baked to perfection, just for you. Former Midway employee Patrick Goschy says he will "sue Nintendo for patent infringement, claiming that he created the idea of a motion controlled system very similar to the Wiimote/Nunchuk combo currently in use in Nintendo's Wii." Click through for a video he released of him showing off his system way back in 1999. John Rogers, who obviously has......

The best of the internet, squirted out in flavorful neon globules, just for you. The big news today is, of course, the fact that Peter Jackson and New Line Cinema have mended fences and Jackson is going to direct not just one, but two movies based on The Hobbit. We don't remember the book being all that long, but hey, we'll give them our money twice. In slightly less exciting Peter Jackson-related news, Jackson and......

The best of the internet, chopped into tiny bits and grilled for your enjoyment. The next Bond girl has been selected and it will be a hot British 22-year-old named Gemma Arterton. Besides being hot, she apparently also has acting chops. Bonus! Dark Knight trailer! Dark Knight trailer! And it's pretty freaking awesome, too. Also, as of this writing, a bootleg video of the first six minutes of the film is available on YouTube. Definitely......
