“There are few moments where we have the opportunity to win a battle against our own vanity in a medium that encourages constant self-promotion. The restraint of not using a real photo for an avatar even though I am EXCEEDINGLY BEAUTIFUL is a similar one of my monastic vows. To deny the indulgence of verification is a small gesture which holds religious meaning to me. We should not ask to be rewarded for our good deeds tweets in this life; we must have faith that God has boundless favs and RTs awaiting us in Heaven.”

Watch This: Splitsider Presents ‘The Exquisite Corpse Project’ | Splitsider

Comedy website Splitsider just launched a new digital distribution label ‘Splitsider Presents’ and their first release is the hilarious feature film ‘The Exquisite Corpse Project.’ Available for $5 over at their website.

Director Ben Popik gathered together his former comrades from the legendary sketch group Olde English and tasked them with writing a movie. The catch: each of the five writers wrote 15 pages and only saw the previous five pages of the script. He then shot the movie they wrote, as well as documentary footage of the writing process and all the drama that it entailed, and put them all together into a unique comedy.

I had an opportunity to see the move last night and it is really something special. Besides being extremely funny and charming, it speaks volumes about the creative process, collaboration and friendship. The way the documentary aspect mirrors the narrative they wrote is fascinating. The film becomes much more than a silly project, but rather evolves into a statement about human nature and relationships. You definitely haven’t seen anything like it.

Go get it. For real. You won’t regret spending the $5.

The project I’ve been working on for the past year is finally live! Check it out! I couldn’t be prouder to be a small part of this amazing movie.

RIP Jason Molina

Bitch, Don’t Kill My Vibe
Kendrick Lamar Feat. Lady Gaga

Wow! Excellent! So Kendrick Lamar, a young rapper from Compton who Dr. Dre signed to Aftermath/Interscope Records last year, recently released an album called good kid, m.A.A.d. city that has had much of the hip-hop community arguing about whether it is the best rap album of the year or the best rap album of all-time. I mean, it is really good. I’ve been listening to it a lot and it puts me in the mind of A Tribe Called Quest’s first album and OutKast’s second album. But apparently it could have been even better. Kendrick was reported to have recorded music with Lady Gaga earlier this year, but due to an unfortunate, all-too-standard industry snafu, none of the material was included on the final version of the album. Well, last night, Lady Gaga released a video she made of the version of the second song on Kendrick’s album, “Bitch, Don’t Kill My Vibe,” upon which she does appear. And it is great. Hooray for Lady Gaga! Hooray for Kendrick Lamar!

You can watch “Bitch, Don’t Kill My Vibe” and a ton of other videos on the Awl Music app for iPad. We pick the best, our favorites, just for you. And it’s free!

—Dave Bry

Seriously, this album is near-perfect. I’m a little obsessed with it.

John Barry’s theme for The Persuaders is the greatest TV theme song of all time, by a wide margin. That is all.

The new Flying Lotus record, Until the Quiet Comes, is amazing. The second half of this track kills me.

My favorite Levon Helm moment.

If there was one song I wish I could sing, it would be this one.

The fact that no one was making terrible Levon Helm jokes on Twitter yesterday restored a bit of my faith in the internet.

“When I got to her house, she said, ‘I’ve never taken acid, so I can’t sing about that stuff.’ She’s done lots of other drugs, but not acid. So she was like, ‘Why don’t we do some acid, and then I can sing about it.’ She told her assistant, ‘Go get us some acid.’ Her assistant would’ve just ran out and got everybody a bunch of acid— how great is that? But we didn’t, because I was like, ‘Listen lady, I’m not going to do a bunch of acid with you tonight, because we have to record.’ Plus, I didn’t really want her to. The way she is, it’s as though she’s on acid already.”
