This song is a movement in itself already. I swear I’ve seen like thirty folks throw it up on Facebook in ten days or so it’s been out. It’s funny though. When songs like this drop, I tend to feel like it’s poetic justice. Cee-Lo is one of those cats that’s written a few dozen amazing songs, and only a few of them ever really get that mainstream ubiquity (“Crazy” being the most obvious example). It’s good though. Max said last night that he’s juiced to see what Mr. Green does next, and I think that’s the mark of a great artist. So here go the visuals for the most viral song on the internet right now. If you don’t crack a smile watching this, you might want to look into these.
Bill Murray is one of those few people in show business that seem to have achieved the impossible. Instead of letting the fame and the Hollywood scene get the best of him, Murray has remained reclusive and, from what we can tell, almost completely unfazed by the craziness that inevitably comes along with the lifestyle. No agent, no manager, no bullshit. From SNL to Caddyshack to Lost In Translation, Bill’s been able to do it on his own terms. Recently, GQ’s senior editor Dan Fierman got the rare chance to sit down with Bill and pick his brain in a full interview. For the record, the latest GQ (The Comedy Issue) is pretty damn funny. Take a look at the three-man interview with Paul Rudd, Zach Galifianakis and Tracy Morgan too, if you get a chance. Keep reading for the full interview with Bill.
Dim sum is all things that food should be. And it is the future. With Spanish-style tapas climbing up the gastronomic hills of the fine-dining world, the small dishes, Asian flavors, and family-style presentation of dim sum warrant dim sum’s sustainability in the restaurant world. Dim sum in Cantonese literally translates to ‘snack’. But here in the States, dim sum has transgressed most definitely into a meal and then some. Great for the soul and hangovers, dim sum offers everything you want, when you want it, at prices everyone can afford. All good right? Well, not quite.
I’ve said it before, and I’ll say it again. It’s usually better to keep things simple. With the video for “Fuck You”, Cee-Lo’s songwriting is front and center, and with good reason. This is just a really, really well-written pop song, and it’s something most of us can probably relate to. All analysis aside though, this record put a big, stupid smile on my face last night. And not that many records are capable of doing that. Thought you might dig it too.
This is what we do for it for. For the folks (like myself) that never knew this existed until today. And for those who needed that little bit of inspiration for their Wednesday night. A lesson in dedication perhaps. Because you’ve gotta want it. Mallakhamb, practiced throughout 29 states in India. And I thought strippers were nice with it.

It was a pretty monumental night at No Excuses studios based solely on the star power, music industry power, and money that was under one roof. I was sitting on my computer in the lounge of Polow da Don’s studio attempting to see how long i could go without refreshing my facebook/twitter/worldstarhiphop page to pass time as i usually do. I thought it was going to be a normal night, long sessions with random song writers, when out of no where, who walks through the door in the span of an hour? Akon, Timbaland, Dr. Dre, and Diddy. I almost shit myself. Add the groupies and goons of each’s entourage and we can say that the studios were lightweight cracking that night. anyways hit con’t for the rest…
Thank Sam for this one. Maseo is 8 years old, and he’s a camper at Kobe’s camp in Santa Barbara. He’s also all of about three feet tall, and has a knack for making other little kids look stupid (1:13). He breaks ankles, throws dimes and hits game winners. Kobe dubbed him Lil’ Mamba. And now he’s on Wine & Bowties. If I can get Gladwellian on you for a minute, let me just say this. Find something you’re passionate about, and cultivate your craft, because it takes time. Looks like this young bruh got a headstart though. Happy Saturday.
All we want to do is throw assists. Sometimes we’ll hit you with a nice little bounce pass, other times we might link up for the alley oop. Regardless we want to help you score. But if we throw it up, you’ve gotta finish. Kinda like our pal DeRozan here today. Shout out to Pals & Case, I see you and miss you fools. Young Mario & Hyphen, I see you too. We’re really fuckin doing this. Wine & Bowties, throwing assists on the daily.
Jonathan Yeo‘s latest project is sure to raise some eyebrows. Porn in the USA is a collection of collage mosaics, constructed using only images from pornography (look close). By reconstructing some of pop culture’s most iconic characters using graphic, sexual images, Yeo seems to play off their familiarity, turning their likeness into something subversive and shocking. Without reading too far into his work, I think he provokes an interesting point. Sexuality and pornography are ingrained in our culture and American society. And as much as the myth of American wholesomeness gets projected, I think we all know what’s really going on beneath the surface. Just a thought. Catch Porn in the USA at Lazarides LA from now until August 8th.
It’s tough to step outside of your comfort zone. We call it the comfort zone for a reason. But I think once you step outside yours, it begins to expand. When you take that leap to do some shit you’ve never done before the experience shatters the fear you had for it initially. Lately I’ve been thinking that fear generally comes from the unknown, but let’s save that conversation for another time.
Hunter’s work just got me thinking. His latest photo project appropriately titled astronauts is an ode to the spaceman who’s stuck on earth. Attempting to deal with the normalcy of everyday life, Hunter places the astronaut in a range of ordinary settings, effectively removing the astronaut from his comfort zone, and shooting him back down to reality. It’s not always fun to be an astronaut.
“Every time I think about changing a diaper, I run a little bit harder and a little bit faster to make sure I can afford a nanny until my daughter’s old enough to take care of that herself…”
Louise threw us some gold the other day on the power of Twitter. As far as the bowties goes, we’re still trying to find our groove to maximize the utility of Twitter (any suggestions are welcome). Unsurprisingly, many have already found their niche on Twitter and have made a name for themselves on the platform, using their uniqueness to build followings of millions. Enter Sam Halpern. Writing down his father’s hilarious yet honest quips throughout his years, by the time Twitter came along, Sam’s son Justin had more than enough ammo for the 140 character messaging system. Featuring the best advice his father had to offer, Shit My Dad Said features everything from insight on bullies to the triviality of voicemail. Read on for some of the funniest tweets from one of Twitter’s greatest celebrities.
