Justin Timberlake's Second Round of Promo Begins, Riff Raff Continues to Troll Vine

Justin Bieber pees in mop bucket, Riff Raff continues to troll Vine

Jul 13, 2013

We see a lot of really random shit every week. Deciding what to post and what to ignore is a constant balancing act that requires much skill, judgment, and discretion. Sometimes it depends on how drunk we are or how trollish we're feeling. Instead of simply letting these things pass us by, we decided to keep track of them and gather them all together for this post, which we'll do weekly. These are the kinds of things P&P writers email each other like, "ROFL omg WOW." Welcome to the party.

2. Don't expect to hear Radiohead while ordering your Chipotle burrito

Apparently Thom Yorke is not the sound of choice when it comes to what music is playing while you're ordering a burrito. In a recent interview with The Denver Westword, Christopher Golub, the music programmer for Chipotle restaurants, stated that there is a certain type of music that mixes well with the feel of their stores. Radiohead is not one of them.

"You know if you go into a store, you've got the small, hard surfaces. You've got concrete floors, a lot of windows, hard walls and a lot of cooking gear and tile. So that doesn't work with certain songs."

Whoa whoa whoa, Chris. So you're telling us that getting our hands on a Chipotle burrito bowl DOESN'T make us want to dance around like this? Not so sure about that.

4. Ellen Grossman reviews Jay-Z's "Magna Carta Holy Grail"

Remember that time last fall when Jay-Z decided to be like us mere mortals and take THE SUBWAY to his own concert at Brooklyn's Barclays Center? Which would've been cool enough on it's own, but what made the event a viral sensation was that on the train, Jay-Z met a woman who did not recognize him at all. Their exchange was both adorable and entertaining, in the same endearing way that your Dad pronouncing Ke$ha's name "Ke-dollar sign-ha" is.

Now Ellen is back and this time she not only knows who Jay-Z is but reviewing his latest album, Magna Carta Holy Grail. And while she's no music critic, her take on the album is awesome.

5. Someone mashed up Sesame Street and Daft Punk's "Get Lucky"

After you mash up Daft Punk and the President of the United States, where else CAN you go but Sesame Street? Shout out to Grover for just killing it. Everyone's always like "Oh Big Bird" or "OooOO Cookie Monster" and "Yeaaa Elmo" but here it's the Grover show and he nails it like a damn star.

6. Riff Raff is Drake's last new friend

Riff Raff tells us, "Ooh just Drake's last new friend, no big deal" but Riff, it's a big deal. A very big deal. And we can tell by the goofy smile on your face and the little dance you're doing that you're pretty excited about the new follow. It's okay, we won't judge you—we'd be happy too. We're sure Drake isn't judging either, because:

10. Justin Timberlake releases teaser video for follow-up to "The 20/20 Experience"

Much like the buzz surrounding his The 20/20 Experience earlier this year, Justin Timberlake has decided to heighten our anticipation for his follow-up project by releasing a teaser video for the upcoming album. In it, Timberlake holds up a sign with a blurred out date, which presumably says when the second chapter of The 20/20 Experience will be out, while what appears to be a new song plays in the background.

Say what you will about Justin milking this slow hype buildup, but you have to be impressed that we're still so invested in new material from the same guy who once looked like this:

12. Mumford & Sons and The Lumineers Are Not Rock Music, Says Alice Cooper

Alice Cooper is worried about rock music. If you're in a band, according to Alice Cooper, you're an outlaw. So to all these bloodless, desexualized bands running around with flutes and accordions: Alice Cooper doesn't consider you rock.

13. Watch teens react to Miley Cyrus' "We Can't Stop"

Miley Cyrus turned a lot of heads last month when she released the video for her single "We Can't Stop." Oozing with provocativeness and overt sexuality, it was a far cry from her Disney Channel Hannah Montana days. Recently, a group of teenagers watched Miley's video for the "Teens React" series and gave the singer some feedback on the clip. Some commonly heard phrases:

"No. Just Stop."

"I used to like her so much."

"What happened to her?"

"I wonder how her Dad feels"

"What are you doing Hannah Montana?!?"

14. Justin Bieber pees in a restaurant's mop bucket

While exiting a restaurant earlier this year, Justin Bieber had to pee. Badly. So badly that instead of waiting until he got to the bathroom, Bieber decided to pee into a mop bucket that he passed on the way out. But instead of acting apologetic for causing extra work for the busboys and janitorial staff at the restaurant, Bieber and his crew laughed the entire time and stated they should be lucky he gave them a memorable experience. Yeah, it's a dick move (in more ways than one), but he's a 19-year-old dude with lots of money and swagger and power and swagger and girls and swagger, so of course he's going to urinate in mop buckets from time to time. Plus, Bieber is now running with the hardcore ~*~*~WiLd KiDz~*~*~ crew, so his behavior is bound to be a little out of control.

15. Charli XCX and Diplo "crank" it to Soulja Boy's "Crank That"

When Charli XCX and Diplo hang out, they don't sit around with a nice glass of red wine and discuss things like the economy and old Shakespearean literature. No, instead the two listen to the hip-hop classic that is Soulja Boy's "Crank That" and Charli shows off her perfected dance moves. And sure yea, you could say, "Oh 'Crank That'? Is it 2007?" but then you see recent pictures of Soulja (like the below) and it's like how do you NOT want to just revisit that song and thank it for introducing us to this guy?

17. Kendrick Lamar perfectly imitates Tyler, The Creator

While hanging out with the Odd Future crew this week, Kendrick Lamar decided to put on Tyler The Creator's iconic blue 'GOLF' hat and imitate the rapper pretty perfectly.

19. You can now see Billy Corgan in 3D

Smashing Pumpkins played Brooklyn's Barclays Center this past December and now, the band is planning on releasing a live album and DVD of that concert. In 3D. Because who wouldn't want to see Billy Corgan and his glorious round head up close and personal?

21. What does Tom Ford think of Jay-Z's song named after him?

Miley Cyrus isn't the only person Jay-Z shouted out on Magna Carta Holy Grail. Jay also named a track off the record after designer Tom Ford, on which he raps "I don't pop Molly / I rock Tom Ford." Billboard recently caught up with the designer to ask him what his thoughts were on Hova's song to which he responded:

I am completely flattered. I mean, come on, who would not want a Jay-Z song named after them?

Good point Tom. Jay, if you're looking for a new name to reference, we heard Pigeons & Planes is a pretty good one to use - hey, just look at Chance's "Good Ass Intro."
