Chan Marshall (Cat Power) recently released a new version of her 1996 track ‘King Rides By’. All proceeds from the sale of this mp3 will benefit the Festival of Children Foundation and Aley Forney Center. Make a donation by downloading the song via Cat Power’s website.

Also, check out the music video, shot by actor Giovanni Ribisi, featuring Filipino boxer Manny Pacquiao working the speedbag in slow-mo.

Sex music? Really? This is pretty hilarious. Good luck trying to get Manny’s face out of your head.

  • Customer #1: What book are you reading?

  • Me: And you were concerned.
  • Customer #1: Yes! Thank you!
  • Customer #2: She was like, We can't tip her! and I was like, What's wrong with Eat Pray Love? We'll still tip her.
  • Customer #1: He doesn't get it.
  • Me: I think I do.
