No doubt you've seen internet folks take the "Cinnamon Challenge".  The task is simple to set up.  The idea is that a person is to swallow a tablespoon of cinnamon without inhaling it or vomiting.

The video attempts are countless online and very few brave souls actually complete the challenge as intended.

Below is hands down THE BEST cinnamon challenge video ever recorded.

Fun Fact #1 - CEppt, an extract of cinnamon bark, seems to treat a mouse model of Alzheimer's disease.

So it looks like there won't be a 2nd annual Kanrocksas music festival in KC this year due to construction on the Kansas Speedway.  Organizers hope to bring it back in 2013 bigger and badder than ever.

Don't fret, festival lovers.  There will be PLENTY of oppertunities for you to get your muddy, beer soaked groove on this summer and we will be at the forefront of it all. 

For memory's sake, here is a video of one of the great performances from last year's super hot festie.

Fun Fact #1 - Over 60,000 people attended the inaguaral Kanrocksas festival last August.

Wowza that was a great flick.  A buddy and I went to Jordan Creek last night to catch the one night only showing of "Don't Think", the first (and only) Chemical Brothers concert movie.

It was beat for beat the same show we caught in Chicago a year and a half ago when they headlined the first night of the North Coast Music Festival, but that did not take away from our collected enjoyment of the experience.   

Adam Smith, the longtime CB visual collaborator/compainion, sent ~20 cameras out and about at the Fujirock Festival in Japan to capture not only the Chems electrifying visual display, but also to capture the audience response to the sensory overload one can only experience by attending one of these tours-de force of electronic music on display whenever the Chems come to town.

The result was a 88 minute slice of what it's like to see these electronic pioneers/legends live.  Here's the trailer:

I'm not sure if this will see a home release as the band has said that the film was meant to be seen as a collective experience, much like a live Chemical Brothers show, and not plugged in your television across from your fat ass on the couch alone with your bong and sixer of Coors. 

IF it is, however, it will be one of those discs that you put on after you get home from the bar and do not want the party to stop at 2am.

Fun Fact #1 - 'Don't Think' is a B-side from the Further sessions that found an audience when it was included on the soundtrack to 2010's The Black Swan.
