Mailman, Andrew W.K. Sing 'Silent Night' In Impromptu Duet (VIDEO)

Andrew W.K.'s hot new internet video features an unexpected guest: Rodney the Mailman.

The singer-songwriter was in the Chicago offices of The Onion A.V. Club, recording a number of versions of "Silent Night" for their terrific "Holiday Undercover" series. At the end of the recording, the office mailman Rodney is coming through. He's sung on a couple of tracks in the Onion studio before, so the staff asks W.K. if he'd mind doing a duet with Rodney.

The result is nothing short of pure Christmas magic.

Watch the impromptu performance:

Lunar Eclipse December 2010 Visible Monday Night

Lunar Eclipse December 2010

A total eclipse of the moon will be visible throughout North and Central America from 11:41 pm PST Monday until 12:53 am Tuesday, the first such eclipse in almost 3 years.

Weather permitting, observers will see the moon enter the Earth’s inner shadow, or umbra, at 10:33 pm, with a red-brown shadow creeping across the bright moon. This shadow has a curved edge, a fact that was taken as proof to at least some ancients that the Earth is round. The sky will get darker as the shadow progresses across the moon, and more stars will be visible as sunlight reflected from the moon fades.

The total phase of the eclipse will last 72 min., then the moon will begin to emerge from the umbra, coming totally out of the inner shadow at 2:01 am

Unlike during a total solar eclipse, when the sun is blotted out, in a lunar eclipse the moon rarely appears black. Because of sunrises and sunsets around the world that scatter and refract light from the sun, the moon generally appears bright and coppery orange, or sometimes brown or dark red-black, depending on how much pollution is in the atmosphere.

J Cole Friday Night Lights (Trailer)

Category Entertainment | Friday, November 12th, 2010

j cole friday night lights

To say the union of J. Cole and Drake is for the ladies would be a gross understatement. Cole released “In the Morning” via his website DreamVillan on Thursday (November 11), and immediately got such an enormous response from fans that he tweeted the direct download link himself.

“I know y’all gonna shut my site down … so here’s the direct [link],” he tweeted. “J. Cole and @drakkardnoir epic.”

Produced by L&X Music, the sultry song opens with a soft piano sample, reminiscent of Luther Vandross’ “Superstar/ Until You Come Back to Me (That’s What I’m Gonna Do).” The North Carolina MC begins the cut rhyming, “Baby, you summertime fine/ I’ll let you get on top/ I’ll be the underline, I’m/ Tryna get beside you/ Like the number nine, dime.”
Later, rapper/singer Drake joins the cut in a low baritone, spitting, “Baby, you wintertime cold/ The night is still young/ Drink that dinner wine slow/ I’m tryna make those goosebumps on your inner thighs grow/ I’ll let you beat me there as far as finish lines go.”

“In the Morning” is the first duet from the two MCs, whom many in hip-hop compare because of their success stories. Where Drake was bolstered by his affiliation with Young Money/ Cash Money captain Lil Wayne, Cole is backed by his Roc Nation label head, Jay-Z.
