Kid President Asks What Your Space Jam Is.
Kid President is one of the best internet sensations you may not have heard of. Just in case you weren’t sure where to get your inspiration from, check with a 9 year old. Like this kid: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l-gQLqv9f4o You got this, whatever your version of “this” is. “What will be your Space Jam?” (from the video) is going to be my go-to motivational phrase for 2014 I think.
Madeon Couldn’t Be More Right.
Madeon had a banner year in 2013 and he looks to do nothing but continue heating up in 2014. Make sure to check him out if you can, and remember, he’s right. There is no bad music, only bad musicians or bad environments for certain music to be played. Try and expand your horizons this year. I know I’m gonna try 😀
…And Some Don’t Turn Up At All.

Drummer Without Forearms/Hands Kills It Covering The Foo Fighters!
Here’s a drummer with no arms. You heard me. Watch the video and be amazed. Then go kick some fucking ass, because if this guy can motivate himself to be a freaking drummer without hands or forearms, you can get to the fucking gym or drop those 500 words for NaNoWriMo. Like. Now. Go on. I’ll wait. There won’t be another post up for like 3-5hrs, so you can do something productive and come right back. I promise. We’ll keep the bass warm for you.
A Million People Can Call The Mountains A Fiction, Yet It Need Not Trouble You As You Stand Atop Them. ~XKCD (Randall Munroe)

Sid Vicious Helps You Kick Monday In The Teeth.
Undermine authority, reject facist moral standards, play freaking guitar and sow the seeds of disruption. Because Sid Vicious would have wanted that. Go forth and conquer.
Bruce Dickinson of Iron Maiden Drops Wisdom. Recognize.
I don’t even really know what to add to this. Bruce (if I may call him that) reminds us that fame whores are just that, and the people who want to express themselves aren’t waiting for Simon Cowell to high five them. They’re doing it now. You should too.
