Kei Nishikori reaches the fourth round. He's from Japan, is 18, and is ranked in the 120s. He'll surely vault higher. He's the first Japanese person in 40 years to get this far at the US Open. Why? In the past Japanese players didn't quite cut it. It's small country, not a lot of courts, and tennis is an individual sport taking up a lot of space. There's also their own game of soft tennis.

Also on tour, again, is My Bloody Valentines. A band that really never marketed their faces over their music, I don’t really know what they look like. But here they are. The cool thing is that this band was doing their thing for over two decades, but you know what? They don’t look half bad compared the many punk bands, rock bands, indie or glam who are back touring again. Watch the video on youtube. If you’re a fan of the band, then this is amazing.

You'd think there'd be more important things to post about aside from this. Look at this combination. Who thought of this? Imagine the creative department at Popsicle sat around and probably got lit at lunch and came back and said, "We got it. Banana, Root Beer, and Lime!" Imagine the furor. "What the fuck?!" Jobs may have been lost, people mad, but it's interesting to know that, this combo has...
