Hot Topics: Santogold, "The Ramen Girl" & The Best Gift Ever?

There are a couple of interesting things I want to share with y'all, but they aren't quite interesting enough to deserve their own post. So just enjoy a smattering of Hot Topics:

Santogold's second Bud Light Lime jingle has been remixed, and it's a pretty sweet mix. Tepr is a Frenchman who has done remixes for Yelle, Kid Sister and The Teenagers, so he's got some decent hipster cred. Now he's added Santogold's "Lights Out" to his oeuvre, (he also remixed "Say Aha" for the Philly-born artist.) The original mix was a smooth surf-rock inspired new wave jam, the Tepr Emo mix features a fuzzed out keyboard tone and a heavy beat drum loop, creating a dance-floor-friendly slow jam. Listen and Download Here. Found via Elbo.ws (via Google Alerts.)

Now to some movie news, is it weird I'm a little interested in this new Brittany Murphy film, The Ramen Girl? After her character moves to Japan to be with her boyfriend, he dumps here. So she decides to become a ramen chef. Sounds exactly like this one time a guy dumped me! Except I wasn't in Japan and I decided to start tanning instead of cooking ramen. Otherwise, story of my life, y'all! Enjoy the trailer:

And now for a little personal tidbit. I was going through pictures from this past holiday season, and found someone took a picture of me getting the most ridiculously amazing gift since my iPod. My Aunt Tina knows me so well, she knew I would love this:

Yes, that is a portrait of the always fabulous Madonna! I could not stop laughing, it is a truly ridiculous piece of art. And it is hanging proudly in my home.

These are for sale on the My DaVinci website, I'm kinda eying up the Kelly one, or the Brad Pitt. Mmm, Brad... Seriously, though, they have a Michael Maloney (from Clean House and Extreme Makeover Home Edition) I mean, he seems like a nice guy, but I don't know anyone other than his mom that would want his portrait hanging in their home. So random...
