Music Buzz Even in a decade that prided itself on not giving a fuck about anything, these guys set themselves apart. I guess you don't have an obligation to say anything substantial when your hairstyle is awesome enough to speak for itself. (via @brokeassben)
Culture Buzz A collection of some of the hottest fashions at the Glenn Beck “Restoring Honor” rally.
Charlotte Gainsbourg's crazy new video features Beck and a bunch of images that may be familiar if you read the internet. (The director cited reddit and ffffound as his inspirations, so really, put your weird geek hat on.)

“I really do think the Michelle Bachmanns of the world and the Glenn Becks of the world are actively and, consciously or subconsciously, trying to get, I'm just gonna say it, trying to get the President killed.”
What?! How is this guy a respected news authority?
TV Buzz After Glenn Beck called President Obama a racist, 36 companies have pulled their advertisements from his program. UPS has even gone as far as to pull advertising on all Fox networks. Looking over these highlights, you have to wonder why they didn't get out sooner.
Music Buzz Pre-Scientology Beck gets the literal music video treatment. I found some purple sunglasses in the office today, which made me feel pretty cool around the 1:14 mark.

Glenn Beck and two of his guests argued that Adolph Hitler & the Nazi Party were “leftwing”; that “political correctness” led the committed white supramacist, James Von Brunn, to shoot a security guard at the Holocaust Museum in DC; & that ultimately Obama is the one responsible for the violence yesterday.
Style Buzz Mad Men creator Matt Weiner not only created a hit TV show, but also a future fashion icon. His eight-year old son, Arlo (named after Arlo Guthrie), is already causing a stir. The second grader wears bow ties, top hats, and was once followed down the street by Beck who was “taken by his head-to-toe plaid.” GQ calls Arlo's style “part Oliver Twist, part Royal Tenenbaums,” and I think he's absolutely dapper. Mad Men childrens' wear coming soon to an overpriced boutique near you!
Watch the trailer for Beck’s new album Modern Guilt. The highly anticipated album comes out July 8th and was produced by both Beck and Danger Mouse. Interscope describes the sound of Modern Guilt “as an homage to 1960s British pop, along with Beck’s signature futuristic flair”. Listen to “Chemtrails”, the first single off Modern Guilt, on the Beck website, or via iMeem. Also, be sure to catch a preview of starting July 1st at any of the 10,000 digital jukeboxes streaming the album.
