The Broward Folk Club will ring in another year of membership Sunday at Cinema Paradiso. Never heard of the Broward Folk Club? It's a non-profit dedicated to promoting folk and acoustic music, and it holds open mics throughout the year as well as "jam in the park" events. The group will show A Mighty Wind, the folk mockumentary by those who brought us This Is Spinal Tap and which features mockumentary staples Eugene Levy, Catherine O'Hara, Michael McKean, and Parker Posey, among others. The movie follows three folk groups (The Folksmen, The New Main Street Singers, and Mitch & Mickey) as they prepare for the festival. If you've ever seen Best In Show, Waiting for Guffman, or This is Spinal Tap, you can anticipate how the folk movement would be incredibly ripe for Christopher Guest's brand of satire.

See a clip from the film after the jump:

Here's a brand new upload from Armando Saenz's KaraokeKing youtube channel. This dude is hilarious. Click here for his website, and here goes info on all his weekly live appearances and how to book him for your next party....

Back in 92', that's 17 years ago, Snoop wasn't the Doggfather, DRE wasn't unfuckwithable and Luke got tried on wax on a track called "Fuck Wit Dre Day" on The Chronic. The diss apparently stemmed from a song on Luke's first solo cd, I Got Shit On My Mind, where he and JT Money call out all the fake gangsters "cause yall aint nothin but prankstas, fuck niggas, ya fakin like gangstas." Dre came back with a very anti-Luke verse...

Lou Miami is not from Miami, he don't perform here, he got nothin to do with this place and this place got nothin to do with him. Matter fact, dude's from Boston and probably just made his name up cause he thought it sounded cool. Give thanks, otherwise I never would've found this video. The movie starts out with some tarot cards and rosary beads then goes to a cemetery scene and features some excellent dancing and use of slow motion. There's also a wicker chair, a weird hat made out of a baby crib with some black curtains, and great editing. The song is also very good and I'm sure you'll enjoy it.

So if you listen to Rick Ross' music, you probably already know that he likes he's ganja green and sticky. And according to Miami New Times reporter Jason Handelsman, he can also roll blunts one-handed. I'm not sure if the latter is true, but there's a hilarious new video on the web that shows Ross enjoying some of Amsterdam's finest weed and cracking up laughing in the process. He's definitely stoned to shit and having a good time. If you want to check out the video, DRO from the305.com has it posted over on that site. Click here to watch it. -Jonathan Cunningham

(Via Steve Huff, via Fark) The VP debate was Rickrolled! Check out the signs in the back. Incidentally, Rick Astley is up for "Best Act Ever" at the MTV Europe Music Awards -- twenty years after he was a chart-topper with "Never Gonna Give You Up" and "Together Forever." (No, all of you can't have my autographed Astley seven-inch I found at a record store a few years ago.) -- Annie Zaleski

If you saw the full-length version of the Kim Kardashian sex-tape, for some ladies, this is a no brainer. But VH1 is in the process of starting a new television show called, So You Want to Date Ray J? One can only suspect that it's all about lining up eligible single ladies to see if they can turn R&B singer Ray J into their next ex husband. VH1 is doing a casting here locally at Opium Gardens on Saturday and if you're looking to land the well-endowed (did I just say that?) singer as your next man, or just want to get famous, then here's your shot. The press release is below: IMMEDIATE ATTENTION: VH1 and Keisha Kash COORDINALLY INVITES YOU to attend as a prominent guests to the "So You Want to Date RAY J? on September 13thth2008. Doors open at 11:15 pm. Casting is from 11:15pm to 1:00 am. Must be 21 and up. Bring pics and resume or whatever you have. Vh1 is looking for single beautiful women who think they can turn Ray J, one of todays hottest chart topping hip hip artist and notorious playboys into a one-woman man. Special guests from the Music, and Tv industry will be on hand. That last line doesn't sound too believable. More like key grips and the camera crew will be on hand. Hell, it doesn't even mention if Ray J will be there, but no matter. Have you ever heard of Hoopz, or Pumpkin, or Deelishis...all of these girls are famous solely for being on a VH1 reality show trying to chase down fugly-ass Flavor Flav. At least this time, the guy you're chasing down is still decent looking so why not give it a shot? And in case you're not familiar with any of Ray J's work (yes, he is Brandy's little brother) here's his latest video. --Jonathan Cunningham

If you're looking for a hilarious WTF moment today, look no further than Miami's BangBros website. Okay, everyday you could scan that sleazy site and say to yourself, what the fuck? And then grab some lotion, or a toy, and masturbate until you go blind. Been there, done that right? We all have. But this WTF moment below is extra special. Miami-based rapper/reggaeton star N.O.R.E. recently appeared in an episode of something called the Penny Show on BangBros this past Tuesday. In it, the former rap heavyweight gets interviewed by a woman in the nude (I'm guessing that's Penny) and then watches her have sex with some other aspiring rapper!!??!! The shit is off the wall and you have to see it to believe it. If you're brave enough, click here to watch a trailer of the video at your own discretion. It's definitely X-Rated so don't say we didn't warn you. -Jonathan Cunningham

Either go to college or you'll end up like this deer. No pressure. Michigan based rocker Ted Nugent has sharp a message for high school graduates this year. The highly vocal 59-year-old conservative recently penned an Op-Ed piece in the Detroit News that he wants to circulate throughout the country. It's hard hitting, comical, and actually makes a lot of sense. Anyone that's familiar with Nugent knows that he's a humorous nut job. If you need more proof of that, notice that he's got his own brand of bow and arrows just to kill things. But if there's one thing he cares about, it's America's youth. So check out this piece and just try to say that (deranged and all) Nugent isn't telling the truth. Favorite Line: Avoid negative people and slobbering hippies like the plague. They never accomplish anything. --Jonathan Cunningham
