This is pretty much the best thing we've seen all month. Jong-il was the center of many comedic skits, memes and parodies throughout his life, but this posthumous Tumblr is possibly the best of them all. Honoring Jong-il's lifelong dream of being hip and cool, in this blog he becomes the epitomy of cool: a DJ.
DJs, known for their globe-trotting, party rocking, groupie gathering lifestyles have become the new James Bond's of the current era. In this blogosphere masterpiece Jong-il finally makes it. Dropping bass next to DJ "Gods" such as David Guetta, Skrillex, Tiesto and Moby, Kim finally reaches the level of cool he was never able to achieve while he was alive.
With Turkey Day approaching, it's easy to become a preemptive couch potato. Chilly weather, television marathons, and the far-off smell of tryptophan make it all too tempting. But dust yourself off, pull on a sweater and get your endorphins flowing: there's fun to be had. High-speed, death-defying, thrill-inducing fun. And Joonbug, with its staff of accredited excitement guides, knows just the cure for those autumnal blues. The best part? All of these yips can be found in the New York metropolitan area.

Remember when you got a bit thrown off when James Bond ordered something different from a martini in ‘Casino Royale’? Well, this is what he ordered! Actually, Ivar Bryce invented this cocktail, good friend of Ian Fleming; author and creator of the ‘James Bond’ character. Cool random fact right there for you guys.
Ingredients:
1 tablespoon (1/2 ounce) Lillet Blanc
2 tablespoons (1 ounce) vodka
6 tablespoons (3 ounces) gin
James Bond is great and all, but even he pales in comparison to this gin martini known as "The Gibson".
Ingredients:
1/3 cup gin
1 tbsp dry vermouth
1 small cocktail onion or Lemon twist
Ice
Preparation:
First place your martini glass in the freezer to chill.
Next fill your cocktail shaker with ice and gin. Now, shake it like you mean it.
Pour your vermouth into the glass first and swirl it around. Make sure you dump all the excess unless you like it "extra dry".
Add your gin and garnish with a twist of lemon peel or a cocktail onion.
Enjoy thoroughly.

Black, velvety and full of distilled tenderness from rich molasses, this vodka martini is in fact the new definition for style and delicious drinking.
Ingredients:
1 lemon wedge
Silver sanding sugar, as necessary.
1 shot ‘blavod’ black vodka
Ice
Procedure:
Take a medium plate and pour some of the silver sanding sugar on it, enough to cover the surface. Gently rub the lemon wedge around the edge of a martini glass and turn it up side down, placing the rim of the martini glass on top of the silver sanding sugar. Twist the glass around to make sure the entire rim gets covered with the sugar. Shake off the excess sugar.
Musical mystique Lady Gaga is set to compose and perform the next rendition of the familiar James Bond theme. As one of music's hottest and most twisted artists, Gaga is certain to launch the 007 films into a new era of glamour and sex appeal. Known for her over-the-top props and outrageous costumes, the music and film industry expect a video like none other, complete with hamster wheel costumes and scores of 'bond'age paraphernalia. The James Bond series is known for incorporating Hollywood's starlets into the opening sequence of its films, as they have since Sean Connery launched into the spy series over fifty years ago. Lady Gaga, much like her predecessors, has large shoes to fill when it comes to creativity and conceiving a unique spin on the classic theme. But, as Gaga always gives a larger-than-life performance, the next overture to the 007 series is expected to be the series' most vivid!

Debate their role as a legitimate forecaster of the next big thing if you must, but so far, the BBC’s Sound of 2009 features several acts that have made quite a name for themselves. Then again, that could be overstated; there must be some folk out there besides the Amish who still haven’t heard of Lady GaGa and Kid Cudi.
