Back in August we briefly mentioned that Jack White of The White Stripes was working with Alicia Keys on the new theme song for the upcoming James Bond film Quantum of Solace. Well, reports have it that he’s not happy with the new development that Sony Pictures have allowed Coca Cola to use a snippet of the theme song for their upcoming commercial for the product Coke Zero which happens to be in a joint promotion with the film. “Jack White was commissioned by Sony Pictures to write a theme song for the James Bond film Quantum of Solace, not for Coca Cola,” Jack’s spokesperson recently says.
In related news both Jack White and Alicia Keys have reportedly shot the music video for the theme song back on September 8th in Toronto, as both were there to promote their individual films at the Toronto International Film Festival.

Here’s another event not to be missed this weekend. I don’t venture off to Williamsburg too often, but this sounds like a really good time. On a side note, I wonder how playing Rockband out of a Toyota Matrix works? Does the drummer, lead singer, guitarist and bassist huddle around the trunk?
This is a post ode to fellow blogger, Mona Alice Oakenfold. Through a previous post, its safe to say she is a bacon lover. Bacon vodka is just that, vodka infused with bacon. It may or may not appeal to the masses, but it exists. Thanks to McAuliflower over at Brownie Points, here is the recipe. The recipe is very fail-safe, so anyone can attempt it. One great suggestion that really stood out was making a bloody mary with the bacon infused vodka. On a side note, I am wondering if Mona Alice Oakenfold has had bacon wrapped dates aka meat candy yet?
Huh…did none of her peoples think this was wrong? In a new Ortega commercial featuring Paul Hamm, Morgan Hamm and Shawn Johnson, they’re selling the aforementioned Ortega taco shells. Here’s a transcript of her line incase you’re still shocked over the video: “My tacos the best. I love Ortegas taco sauce, it makes my taco pop!”. “Makes my taco pop”! Jebus, shouldn’t her peoples have caught this?
My palate normally doesn’t accept sweet and salty food in the same sitting. However, the original post from Neatorama had me ask the same questions. Is this really the perfect combination? And do you cut up a slice of steak and eat it simultaneously with the strawberries? Or are the strawberries just a form of dessert? Well after some googling, I found this recipe with the same ingredients that sounds like a real winner. I’d actually like to replicate whats on the billboard at home with a flank steak, some fresh strawberries and a dollop of whipped cream or ice cream.
My jaw simply dropped when I saw this. Food and my all time favorite pair of Nike Running sneakers go hand in hand like music and wine. Olle Hemmendorff along with 7 other creative folks were requested to give their intepretation of Nike Sportswear. Hemmendorff, of course was blessed with the AM90s as his theme. At this point, I don’t know if I’d want to try and recreate this or request a higher resolution to print and frame on a wall.
The Electrolux was designed for those that want a next level dinner party experience. Guests are encouraged to cook for themselves. However, the group can also work together and delegate roles as one may have a specialty in stir frying and another may enjoy grilling. Either way, the Electrolux provides a fun dining experience. Designer, Chris Fox, also wanted to make cleaning simple. Simply detach each of the individual plates and rinse. And afterwards stack them on the included cradle. I really need one of these in my life.
Ahhhhh shiiiiiiit! It’s time to get yo’ drink on. Available from Urban Outfitters is this crazy beer belt holding contraption.
