TSR Buzz: Nick Swardson takes the bang van, Wild Flag take Portland and the Kardashians take my sanity

With TSR Buzz, you’ll find links to articles, videos and other random things that will help you waste your time just a little bit more.

  • I know I have a love affair with Funny or Die. But how can I ignore this video with Nick Swardson? I guarantee this is a hundred times better than Bucky Larson. Also more free.

  • Wild Flag is a new supergroup made up of Carrie Brownstein and Janet Weiss of Sleater-Kinney and Mary Timony of Helium. The new video for "Romance" is pretty sweet, extra fun if you're from Portland and can name the places around town they visit.

  • I don't get the whole Burning Man thing. You pay hundreds of dollars to sit in the desert, do LSD and have sex; and also people create huge robot/automaton/vehicles? But hey, giant walking Octopus. Though this isn't actually steampunk. Steampunk refers to devices that use steam power as if the combustion engine was never invented. I'm pretty sure this doesn't run on coal.

  • I don't know if you'll be able to make it through this whole clip, it's a bit of a struggle. But watching David Letterman attempt to interview the Kardashian sisters is pretty amusing.

  • And now, a tiny puppy trying to be a wolf.
