...asleep, and oh my, does Chingy have a dream! What no one’s told Chingy, I’d venture to guess, is that some dreams are best kept to oneself. The video for his new single “Gimme That,” is an ode to the unfettered sub-conscious. Generally, when the masturbatory tendencies of one’s deepest thoughts reach the point when they are freely allowed to rear their head in real life, you can be certain of two things.

...what’s to come.In justification of what may seem like youth-fueled naïveté, I present to you an artist you might have heard of: M.I.A.

For his 50th birthday, the chef spent 12 days biking the entire length of Finland, savoring every mile of the journey. His menu is an ode to the land, its traditions and its caretakers, featuring items like bread made from birch-bark flour, and sauna-cured ham from pigs raised for flavor rather than volume. "I try to show people?both Finns and foreigners?that Finnish food is very good food," says Maulavirta. "We need to support...
