Portlandia Spoof, Suburb Edition

Growing up in and around Portland, Oregon for all my 30 years, every time I watch Portlandia I want to jump off the couch and yell "THAT IS SO PORTLAND!!" when they do a skit from a feminist book store or a cut scene of a guy commuting to work on a unicycle. Now we have a spoof of Portlandia called Vancouvria which makes fun of Vancouver, Washington, the Portland suburb right across the I-5 Bridge. You might have to have lived in Portland to get some of the humor in this one but just check it out if you're a Portlandia fan.

Blondie - Rapture (1981)

Today my wife posted on her Facebook some thing where you're supposed to find the #1 song for the week of your birth, find it on Youtube and post it with no shame. Hers was a song called "Kiss You All Over" by Exile. I've never heard of them and I didn't bother watching it. Mine was "Rapture" by Blondie which I really got a kick out of! Debbie Harry raps! After a little bit of wiki-research, it turns out that in 1981 this was the first rap video to ever be aired on MTV. There are also cameo appearances by Fab Five Freddy, dancer William Barnes, Uncle Sam, a goat and New York graffiti artists Lee Quiñones and Jean-Michel Basquiat. I don't know any of those people except for Uncle Sam and maybe the goat.
