Have you ever bee robbed? It totally sucks; it’s even worse than that Will Ferrell Land of the Lost
film that just came out. And even worse than that would be getting robbed in a foreign country.

Who does that happen to? This week’s host Tapes n’ Tapes apparently, who got totally jacked the last time they went to the beach in Australia. Damn you Mad Max, we can’t turn our backs on you for even a second can we?

Disclaimer: No geriatrics were harmed in the making of this video. All stunts were performed by experienced stuntmen, possibly the borrowed from the set of the latest Doves video.

If asked we would say that Doves are one of the least action sports-friendly bands going. But no one asked us, least of all the band, so here we are with a clip that looks like a viral advert for an event sponsored by Red Bull to air on ESPN.

As we mentioned last week when dropped an SWM bomb on your beautiful behinds, this week is Twin Cities Week. Which twin cities? Minneapolis and St. Paul, MN…home of Prince, The Replacements, Tapes ‘n Tapes, Atmosphere, P.O.S. and a whole mess of forward-thinking MC’s on the Rhymesayers label.

The latter recently threw the Soundset ‘09 Festival in the “Land of 10,000 Lakes” and from all reports it was a cavalcade of avant-rap innovation and –shockingly– sunshine. But why take our word for it when you can get the skinny from Slug, P.O.S. and Brother Ali? (That’s a rhetorical question, DO NOT answer that). Click the clip and head what native tongues have to say about it.

Does this song make you happy? Does it make you want to skip around and sing along in whatever language this is in (we’re not sure but it sounds like a made-up half-English, half-French)? Does it make you yearn for your very own fake zebra print backdrop? No? It’s just us? Oh…
