Links of the Third Daily Trimester 1/13/10

  • Jay Leno may walk from NBC as well. Tired of made to look like the bad guy and angry at NBC, Jay Leno may leave the network with Conan. Well I know we have been trashing him the last few days, but this is pretty great of him. No matter how many airplane hangers full of cars he has, it’s never an easy decision walking out on millions of dollars and the job that you love for solely moral reasons. Perhaps, deep down, Jay Leno may have a little the best in him after all.
  • Jay Reatard is dead at 29. I never really got into his music, but he was fairly high up in the indie music world and will certainly be missed.
  • The star of Dexter has cancer. Between this and the Jay Reatard thing this is kind of becoming the most depressing links post I’ve ever created. EVERZ!

Aesthetic Octopus’ Best of 2009 Choices! Extravaganza.

Our first ever year end list! Hooray! We made it all the way to the end of our first year (I am saying this even though we only started a matter of months ago!) of blogging and radioing. Yes. True. Statements of congratulation all around, for us.

Anyways, as we are new at this and still extremely incompetent in all fields (creativity, writing ability, creative writing ability) we are going to keep it simple. Below we will list each of our favorite three albums, our favorite television show, and our favorite lady all from the last year with no explanation at all. This is probably for the best anyways, as no one really reads the reasonings so why spend time writing them? All the readers are all like, “The Pitchforked gave this band a 9.2, alright they good.” That is what they are definitely like.

So here they are… Continue reading…

Don Draper Versus A Grizzly Bear

This is an age old question. Who would win in a fight, Don Draper or a grizzly bear.

The Situation:

The grizzly bear and Don Draper are dropped into an open grassy field with no other objects (trees, humans, other animals) for three million miles (so many miles!).

Don Draper is donned (get it?! you get it) only with his best suit, a Lucky Strike cigarette, a cigarette lighter, and a glass of Scotch with ice.

The grizzly bear is given nothing. As it is a grizzly bear and doesn’t even have thumbs. (Good thing this isn’t a thumb war as that would be quite one sided!)

The Pros and Cons of the Opponents in This Here Battle: Continue reading…

Movie Craving: New Youth In Revolt Poster

poster_youth_in_revolt_ver2

So that’s pretty the worst. When I heard about this movie coming out, I was fairly excited as I enjoyed the book back in the day. But now I am not excited. Now I am just filled with dread and sadness when I should be filled with ice cream and sunshine. As Don Draper always says, “Fill the consumer with ice cream and sunshine.” And Don Draper is never wrong.

Article Craving: Did You Know These Stars Dated?

ashton_kutcher2

The above image is of Ashton Kutcher with Mad Men’s January Jones, who has GQ has recently proven, is quite attractive. The two apparently dated before she was an actress. Crazy!

The weirdest one is probably Justin Timberlake dating Fergie when he was 16 and she was 23. Weird! Because of the age difference and what not!

Anyways, here’s the rest of the actual list with pictures, but I think it would be fun to create some even more ridiculous celebrity couples of our own…

Picture Craving: New Photoshopped Ralph Lauren Ad

ralph lauren photoshop

Who is running the recent Ralph Lauren advertising campaign? Why did they hire someone who is taking Photoshop classes at the local community college every Tuesday night to do their ads? Why isn’t Don Draper the head of all advertising by now?

So many questions!
