Michelle Ellsworth’s site doesn’t host a single embeddable video, and that may be the only reason more of us haven’t heard of her important work with the Burger Foundation. We recommend you peruse this site. What can we do to evolve the predictable relationship between burgers and humans? This foundation is seeking those answers. They’ve been compiling research on hamburgers, veggie burgers, faux burgers and gestures that represent burgers. They’ve been cataloguing the like too.

Yeah, you’re welcome.

We’ve all had our share of internet soundboards, but this one is better than any other we’ve seen in our history of forever. Let us present The Rap Board, your home for iconic rap sound bites that range from the Gucci Mane “yeaaa!” to the Lil Jon “YYEAA-YUH”. Every sound is organized alphabetically by rapper (find all your classic Puff Daddy and P Diddy sounds filed under “Diddy”). Lil Wayne has nine sounds, and we should all be grateful. On the other hand, Will Smith has more sounds on this board than Kanye West, which really isn’t fair given the range of weird noises that grace Yeezus. We all need to complain to the Internet Gods over that injustice.

Best Link Ever! ‘You’re My Favorite Artist’

by Paddy Johnson on April 24, 2013

Scott King is a UK-based artist who’s produced a delicious send up of the New York art world, rife with Canadian music and art influences. Think Peaches meets the political Canadian artist collective and electro-pop band Hooded Fang and you’ve got your track. As a Canadian living in New York with anglophile tendencies, naturally, I love it.

Take a few minutes out of your day for this. Things start to get really good around the 1:50 mark. I’m not issuing any spoilers, but there’s this; “Dan Colen, pigeon shit”. h/t Andrew Russeth

We mostly noticed Yung Jake’s E.m-bed.de/d because it name-checked us, but we’re glad we did. Let’s hear it for transparent ploys!

If you don’t remember Yung Jake from his Datamosh hit last year, this pretty much sums it up: Yung Jake is responsible for the only time RapGenius has mentioned Ryder Ripps. He’s a rapper, but also a CalArts student with digital skillz, and the two make a good combination.
