The 30’s and Russia brought us lots of things. We had the Great Depression, The Empire State Building, Snow White, the discovery of - Pluto, Penicillin, and Insulin- and Russian Vodka (mm tasty). So what happens when you combine the 30’s and Russia? How about the first Hip Hop/Break Dancing troop. Since WWI had finished, I guess this platoon of Russian Soldiers had a bit too much time on their hands. And no I am not going to insert an ‘In Soviet Russia’ meme here (that’s what the comment section is for:). Enjoy a little Red Army Hip Hop.

Lets talk guilty pleasures for a moment. A singularly decadent weapon in the arsenal of personal satisfaction. The light at its core is generally intimate- a, “Don’t look at me- I am hideous” kind of thing. That said, those personal moments of indulgences are raw and attached truisms into who we really are.

My guilty pleasures? Nerds with guitars and viral video. Now with Weezers new video, they spoke directly to me almost knowing that while nerds playing guitars and holding hands with monkey’s is a pretty close win, it did not command my full fandemonium support. Enter Phase II of the conversion process and the orgasm of guilty pleasures. Nerds + Peanut Butter Jelly Time.

You had me at Numa.
