The picks of the week from around the web.

  • Music for One Apartment and Six Drummers. Cool Swedish short.
  • Tom Breihan: In Defense of Li’l Wayne’s “Lollypop.” This is a pretty impressive feat of criticism; writing substantially about a song that has nothing in it — no hook, trite sexual analogy, lots of synth/vocoder: unabashed pop shit. Breihan makes an interesting case for its weirdness and perverse logic in terms of Wayne’s work as a whole.
  • Stan Lee on MySpace. Complete with Stan Lee ringtones! Come on, you know you gotta see it.
  • Rex the Wonder Dog. Priceless.
