New Years Eve,

Internet, we’ve been gone for awhile.

The future is ahead of you just the same way that it is ahead of us.

So the question I have for you is, are you ready for what is next? Stay tuned and I guess we’ll find out.

The New Fall Out Boy Album came out last week and was on heavy rotation on my the iTunes over the weekend. The album is good for what it is; a happy rock album that isn’t trying to be artsy or overly political. It’s just a bunch of guys making some music that contain a happy chorus that you can nod your head too. The lyrics on this album like every Fall Out Boy CD, is the best part of it. Listen to these 3 songs and I’m sure you can agree that this is one album that is worth buying this Christmas.

Ten days till Christmas time and things are starting to pop at InternetPopular. We have a full schedule of new time killers for you coming up this week. The new Kings of the Internet episode is coming, this week we took a look at the video game awards that were on spike last night (I predicted it all wrong) and we also talk about solving the economic crisis using the movie box office. We are still continuing are 28 Days to Christmas countdown. 10 more days and ten more gifts to get people, look through some of the older posts to see what is hot this Christmas. We also have the second part of What’s The Worst That Can Happen? Comic Book this Wednesday. Find out what happens when you think nothing bad will happen. Finally we are still putting up the other random treats on the site that you might be use to be by now, like Music Monday. Which is going to start right now…

Okay so this week we have some music for you guys that is not Christmas music which, truth be told is enough of a reason to give it a play. We are going to start off with some J-Kwon and Joel Madden with No More Cryin’. This is one of those rock/rap mash ups that failed completely at the time of release. But now that the Rap/Rock era is over you can go back and appreciate the song. Kind of a mellow song but it’s okay because it’s fucking cold where I am at right now and that makes all songs mellow to me.



Next up Hunting for Witches by The Bloc Party. This was off there last CD and is probably one of the better new Bloc Party songs. This version of the song I’ll put up though is the RAC remix. Bloc Party has a some of the best remixes coming out right now and are almost actually better when there songs are not on there own album. Here take a listen.



Last one to start you up this Monday is TV on the Radio. These guys are cool if you don’t know yet. I’ll put up Staring at the Sun for you guys to check out because it is a great song with a dope music video. Check them out and then buy there CD as soon as you can.



And that will do it. This is the start of the week and we are 10 days away from Christmas which means everyone is going to be going a little crazy this time of year. Just remember that we only have to do this once a year and if you get to stressed take a break, log on to the internet, and kick back with the random filings here at InternetPopular.

It’s time to class yourself up internet. It’s time for a little fashion tip from the crew here at InternetPopular. It’s time for the 28 days of Christmas gift of the day and today it’s time for The Tie.

Now hold on, I know what you are thinking; Who the fuck wants a tie for Christmas? The answer should be you. You want a tie for Christmas. Ties get the shit end of the stick sometimes because old people wear them but the reality of it is that Ties are due for a comeback and you can be on the ground floor of that if you ask for one this Christmas. Don’t go and ask for anything to crazy though, start with just a plain black tie. The black tie is a simple piece of cloth that when added to a collard shirt makes you look bad ass. Check out some of these pictures to see how you are suppose to wear a tie and then put one on your Christmas list ASAP.




Ties can be bought any where they sell nice clothing.

Function and fun the two things you need in a gift for it to be a sure fire hit. Combo gifts are always a great idea, coffee and coffee cup? Moms love it. Gloves and scarf? Perfect double assault on grandma. Video Game and extra controller? Kids are calling you Santa Claus and are cleaning your sidewalk year round. This ear though you should take it up a notch, get to a whole new level of function and fun with Transformers and iPod.

It was only a matter of time before someone combined the two greatest technological advances of the last 30 years together into one single technological blessing. This year unleash this marvel upon the iPod wearer in your family, the Rumble and Frenzy (american names) iPod earphones.

These things actually bring the music to your ear and they can also transform from simple circle to little robot. This is geek and music freak covered in one shot. Fun to play with and Functional to get those sweet sound waves into your ear.

Pick them up at your local import or comic book store today.

If you have someone in your life that loves Star Wars, Marvel, G.I.Joe, or Indiana Jones, you'll have something to buy for them.

Mighty Muggs are the JRPG equivalent of these immensely popular franchises and make the perfect addition to any desk, living room, or gaming area. They're cute, they're hip, and there are about a hundred to choose from.

The most robust franchise that is represented would have to be Star Wars with characters from both trilogies as well as the Clone Wars and other Star Wars spinoffs. The 2nd and perhaps most popular IP to choose from would have to be the Marvel line. It's my personal favorite and they've done a pretty good job of representing all the great characters Marvel has unleashed over the years. Indiana Jones? Some people will love them but I don't think they're all that great.

The big seller this Christmas will be the G.I. Joe line of figures. They just hit store shelves last week and are already selling out everywhere. I managed to grab myself a Snake Eyes but I'm guessing I'm going to have to wait awhile to find a Cobra Commander to add to the collection.

Mighty Muggs are available at multiple retailers and can retail from $10 to anywhere up to $30. Rarity causes fluctuations but getting that exact one you want is oh so perfect.

This Christmas it’s time to catch up with the Ultimates. Its been a long time since the first issue of Ultimates came out in 2002 but the Mark Millar Bryan Hitch run on the book finished this year and now it’s time for you to get all caught up. The book, for those that don’t know is the re-imagining of Captain America, Iron Man and Thor in the modern world, with a very realistic look at how they would operate in current social climates. What would a man lost in world war two feel about society today? Can you call yourself a god and not be looked at like you are crazy? If you had all the money in the world how often would you be sober? These are the types of questions that get brought up in the book and it makes for one of the best comic books that you will ever read.

All the Millar/Hitch issues have been collected into two hardcover books from Marvel comics and are the best way to read this story. They are available through Chapters or through your Local Comic Book Store. Pick them up this year for the Action Movie Lover or Comic Book Noob on your list.

You guys remember that Ghostbusters game that was suppose to come out a year ago? Well after all the shit that happend with economy and video game companies going under or being bought it looked like The Ghostbuster Game was going the way of Miracleman. Then this trailer came out and looks like the greatest video game since GTA is finally going to hit shelves in June 2009. Take a look at this and tell me you don't think this is great.

Welcome to the first day of a new week. At InternetPopular Mondays mean Music Monday and back to work, two things that go hand and hand. A couple songs is a good way to start yourself up for the week, helps you to get into work mode. Drive and determination can go a long way to making your week a breeze, so lets see what we got this week for you guys.

First song is a remix of This Love by Maroon 5. It’s remixed by Kanye West and John Legend and has some added funk on the track for you soul. This is one of those songs that anyone can enjoy because everyone is able to understand it. Great song and a good remix, check it out.



Next on the docket is Lil Wayne with Let the Beat Build. It’s a simple beat that highlights Lil Waynes beastly rhymes. The beat keeps looping and Lil Wayne just keeps getting better and better as it goes on and on, this is probably the best Lil Wayne song that was off of The Carter III.



Lastly instead of a serious song lets play something funny. Adam Sandberg has a band called Lonely Island and they have a new CD coming out called Incredibad. First single is Jizz in my Pants and it’s pretty funny shit. Put a smile on your face this week and get going.

It’s Friday and it’s time for some fun. It is also the first Friday in December so this week on InternetPopular’s Friday Night Spin we are going to get you something for the winter time. Get ready for your weekend with a song that is sure to get you going and get you into some trouble, Hey Ya by Outkast

Mirror's Edge was one of my favorite games in 2008 (yeah I said it) so obviously I'm looking forward to this time trial pack. It drops in January 2009 and as the trailer states "Leaves the city behind." Good move? Not sure but I know I'll be checking it out.

This is too awesome for words. Godfree from the Gamercast network just posted this on his twitter feed and I have to post it here because it is so damn funny.

Check it

Let's face it. The economy sucks right now and there's a good chance you don't have a ton of money to spend on that special someone in your life. You want to get them a present that is going to stand the test of time and bring enough joy into their heart that they'll always remember that you gave them that present. We have the perfect gift for you!

Today's 28 Days of Christmas present is the Simpsons seasons on DVD. No we're not talking about the new ones that are selling for around $45. We're talking about the first 6 seasons which are selling for under $20!

Yes, the first few seasons are pretty horrible. The animation is bad, Homer has a different voice, and Bart says stupid shit like "Don't have a cow man," but you can't deny that they hold a special place in any fans heart. It's The Simpsons!

Trust us, we're experts on the subject of gift giving and if you're trying to appease someones thirst for opening presents, you can't go wrong with a couple seasons of The Simpsons.

Jack Black plays Jesus Christ in the new Funny or Die exclusive Prop 8: The Musical. Now for those that don't know, Proposition 8 is a law in California that bans gay marriage. It passed on Election Day by a narrow margin but is still being opposed by those that want gay marriage to be legal in California. What does this all have to do with Jack Black playing Jesus? Well, watch the Prop 8 Musical and see Jack become Jesus Christ. Lots of other famous people in the musical as well AND as always NPH says the day.

Before I get out of here and take over the world, I should give you some music to listen to. This song became one of my personal favorites in a very strange way. A game that goes by the name of Audiosurf hit Steam and I had absolutely no clue what it was. Knowing that YouTube has absolutely everything, I decided to start there.

It took about 20 minutes after perusing videos of girls dancing and dudes fighting on the street, I finally found what I was looking for by typing "Audiosurf" into the search field. Here's the song I found being played in Audiosurf.

If you haven't bought Audiosurf, you should go do so now. The game is super cheap and is one of the greatest times you can have on your PC.

Into the abyss that is our lives we peer and what we find is the mundane events that have been placed here in the chronicles known as Nightly News on InternetPopular. Lets take a look at the happenings of today so that you can be up to speed on what you might have missed while you were doing your things today.

Ford released its turnaround plan to Congress this morning and it includes selling corporate jets, moving towards Hybrid cars and CEO salaries of a dollar.

Chrysler and GM CEOs also out the one dollar salaries into there plans but even with those savings are still looking for the 25 billion dollar loan from the government.

My Little Pony has reinvented its toy line for the new generation. Here is a picture and here is a question; How does it use the purse?



There are two types of girls that we love at InternetPopular. Hot Girls and Hot Girls that can sing. Lily Allen falls into that second category and today her new single Fear hit the internet. A tongue and cheek song about girls and what they do with fame. It’s a wicked song and her new disc “It’s Not me, it’s you.” comes out February 9th so buy it and help keep this Hot Girl that can sing in money.





The Sci-Fi channel has green lighted the Battlestar Galactica prequel Caprica. The show will take place on the earth like planet Caprica and be set 50 years before Battlestar Galactica. It will be a show about two the society before and be based around two rival families.

I could be wrong but I'm pretty sure this is Bryce's brother featured in this amazing YouTube video. Mario Kart and Love, you can't really have a better combination.

Watch and play this for the family at Christmas - They'll stop thinking you're creepy and might actually ask you what this thing called "Mario Kart" is.

All joking aside, this song is pretty awesome. Someone give this dude a record deal.

Brighten plays good music, girls love Brighten. There has to be some connection there but we are way too stupid to figure out what it is. Oh well.

Brighten hails from some far off place called Chico, California and they play catchy melodic pop/rock that finds a way to put you in a good mood even when you feel like absolute shit. It's not for everyone but if you want a song that won't give your girlfriend headache - check out "We Are Birds" from Brighten's "Early Love" EP (Available on iTunes).

Going, going and…gone. Another day completed, more history for the history books wrapped up in this twenty-four hour period. Why not take a second though and reflex on the happenings of today in a segment at InternetPopular we call Nightly News.

Current Events

Together again and it feels so good. That’s right big news coming out of President Elects office this morning as it was announced that none other then Sen. Hilary Clinton is his pick for Secretary of State. So there you have it, Hilary Clinton and Barrack Obama together working on the same team and they are being professionals about it. Looks like the states are taking another step in the right direction.

Pirates were at in again in the high seas but this time the perspective prey was able to get away. Off the coast of Yemen The Nautica was carrying a passenger count of 684 and a crew of 400 and was in a a area protected by international anti-piracy task forces. that didn’t stop the two small skiffs from trying to attack the large cruise ship. The Nautica was able to get away from the pirates but only by a hair. At one point, one of the skiffs was a mere 300 yards away and shooting rifle shots at the boat. No one was hurt and The Nautica was able to arrive on time in Salala Oman on Monday morning. Pirates they are real and they are out there.


Entertainment News

How did Tina Fey got that scar on the left side of her face? Is it some funny sexy story? Nope she just got slashed in her face by a stranger when she was 5. Tina Fey’s Husband Jeff Richmond let the mysterious origins out of the bag in Vanity Fair. Tina Fey’s comment on the scar: "It's really almost like I'm able to forget about it, until I was on-camera, and it became a thing of `Oh, I guess we should use this side' or whatever. Everybody's got a better side."

The Wolverine movie is picking up speed. The trailer is going to be in front of The Day the Earth Stood still and a pictures from the film are getting posted on the internet. To help you get excited here is a picture of Gambit. The actor is Taylor Kitsch and he was in the Friday Night Lights TV show.

Redstone sold his interest in video game company Midway today. Sumner Redstone sold his majority state in the Midway Games Inc. to help get his families holding company out of its $1.6 Billion debt. National Amusements is Redstone’s holing company and holds his cotrolling interest in CBS Corp. and Viacom. All in all flawless victory for Sumner Redstone.

It is still awhile away but Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince is coming and there are trailers out. Here is the newest one that has hit the web and it sure does make me wish that they put this movie out on time and not pushed back to July.







Other Random Information

Federal Communications Commission Chairman Kevin Martin is pushing for his plan to have a porn free wireless internet service available for free. Free internet is a good idea but no porn on the internet means that there is no reason for the internet. Complete fail FCC Chairman Kevin Martin, complete fail.
