If you haven’t seen the Virgin Free Fest lineup yet, you should. Tickets go up Saturday (or Friday, if you managed to get tickets last year).

And here’s the stupendously silly “Drunk Girls” video:

Via just about the whole Internet.

  • Double Rainbow Guy interviewed by Fast Company, of all things. Videogum has the man-boob-free highlights: “I’ve been thinking about this a lot. Last night I went to an Indian sweat and I prayed really hard about this. When I shot the video, I was not high at all, I was not having sex, and I was not hiking, as a lot of people assume. This is my land that I bought in 1988. Wait, what was the question?”

    • Turns out Kill Hannah is opening for the Smashing Pumpkins tonight on the “Bands I should have seen in 1996 tour.” Here’s “Kennedy.”

  • Dell sold crappy computers.
  • 538′s Richard Sexton1 discovers that World Cup fandom is…exactly the same as fandom anywhere else.
  • Clay Shirky argues that the Web allows for “cognitive surplus,” a combination of free time and creative technology. Worth watching, even if the audio and video don’t sync and he’s wearing a shirt buttoned to the neck with no tie:
    1. I was just having a discussion about names you shouldn’t bestow on your progeny, and “Dick Sexton” seems like a perfect example. ↩

Several steps will take longer than you’re expecting, and you’ll be terrified you’ve bricked your phone. Don’t panic.

    1. Maryland cops are still arresting people for recording them, even though it’s legal.
    2. In Ohio, cops can now give you a ticket based on their guess of your speed. Unfortunately, Youtube has no clips of Chief Wiggum saying “That’s some nice work there, boys.” (HT: Radley Balko)

    4. Want to learn how to make gyros? You should, because it’s delicious.
    5. SpaceX’s Falcon 9 made orbit, becoming the first commercial spacecraft1 to do so.
    6. Going to see the National in Philly tomorrow, so here’s “Bloodbuzz, Ohio,” from High Violet.

    ]]>     Got home yesterday; photos from the southern-fried vacation will be coming soon. In the meantime, there are 10 camera-phone shots on Twitter. This will be a king-sized “catching-up-to-the-rest-of-the-world” edition:

    1. Tim O’Reilly makes some big-picture arguments for Facebook.
    2. The “toe of God.”
    3. Janelle Monae fucking rules. YouTubage here. Check it out. The Archandroid came out while I was in the middle of Kentucky, sans computer. I have high hopes.
    4. Thoughts on journalism, branding and the “nothing-based economy.”
    5. The BP/Transocean oil spill could flow up the Atlantic coast. Opposition to offshore drilling, already pretty high in those states, would likely spike.
    6. Bonus deepwater drilling story: there might not be much oil down there.
    7. The mortgage crisis is still spreading, but might be slowing down.
    8. Rand Paul got elected during my vacation, and if I’d been there last week, I could’ve told you it was coming. Didn’t see a single Grayson sign. Anyway, I’ll talk more about him later–for now, the Maddow blog corrects the NYT take on Paul’s interview.
    9. Trudy Campbell/Annie from Community has a story to tell. It’s not even really sexy, the way she tells it.
    10. The US might legalize online poker, but continue to ban sports betting, because their goal is to make gambling not fun.
