Music: Mixest: A pretty badass HTML5 take on the Pandora model

  • Know how we know Mixest is awesome? Because this song came up on the playlist. It’s seriously one of our favorite songs (your ears should be burning, Cymbals Eat Guitars). It’s a dead-simple idea that reminds us of a radio Muxtape. Plus, it’s done in HTML5 using the jPlayer framework, which means it will work on your iPhone and iPad. Hello new radio station.

World: All the Church’s force used against Silvio Berlusconi in attack

  • He was hit with a model of the Milan cathedral. Our favorite Italian Prime Minister who owns absurdly large amounts of the very press that’s supposed to be covering him was still in the hospital resting today. Berlusconi suffered two broken teeth, a broken nose and a cut lip after being attacked by Massimo Tartaglia, a 42-year-old crazy guy. He won’t need surgery but he probably will get a killer story out of it. Isn’t that worth something? source

Culture: The football superstar married the supermodel. Obviously.

  • Tom Brady and Gisele Bundchen. Married. The couple exchanged vows last night in a “secret” ceremony at a Catholic church, which probably was a pain to get to because, seriously, how often do people get married on a random Thursday? Just sayin’. In case you forgot, Brady is the QB for the New England Patriots who was out this year due to injury, and Bundchen is the Brazillian model who’s currently wallpapering thousands of Windows desktops worldwide. source
