Ladies and germs, tattoo May 29 on the small of your back (or, just try not to forget this date), because Regina Spektor is returning with her sixth studio album What We Saw From the Cheap Seats. The first taste is a newly recorded version of Spektor and Only Sons Them Brothers, which actually wont appear on the record, but youll be able to find on the deluxe edition that comes out on the same day.

Call Them Brothers sees Spektors elegant voice wrap around subtle violins, while degraded footage of Regina and Only Sons Jack Dishel hanging out in the winter. Which brings me to my major revelation while watching this: the video looks really oldtoo old. Thats confusing to me, because I thought Regina was only around 30 and not, like 100? Its a bit disconcerting, to say the least. Is Spektor in fact a sorceress or part of the Illuminati? Its all speculation, and after hours of research I havent been able to unravel this conspiracy at all, so Ill just go back to looking at dog videos now.

So much for that bounce.

Were still scratching our heads over that bounce in the wee hours of Monday morning, the one that saw the euro hold the line at $1.30, and stocks recover enough to push the S&P 500 and Nasdaq Composite every so slightly into the green yesterday.

For whatever reason, and it appears theres a number of them, the euro is managing to hold that $1.30 mark (under much duress; this mornings low is $1.2990.) Stock futures, too, were down sharply, winnowed away the losses and are dropping again.

Theres support in the market, whether its coming from the Fed, the Chinese, the banks, the Arabs, the Plunge Protection Team or the Illuminati. There are buyers at these levels.

How long they remain, and how much they buy, is the question now. Europe is very unsettled. Greece is having trouble forming a government, the uneasy Hollande-Merkel courtship has already begun, Spain is talking about bailing out its banks. Underlying it all is talk of bailouts, exits, and alliances splintering apart.

The bears are going to push this issue.Indeed,theyve been pushing with ever greater force for a month now. This is the way the market works. Downward pressure is exerted, support levels are hit, they hold, pressures applied again, supports hit. Themaneuveris repeated until somebody wins.

Dennis Gartman had this to say this morning in his daily The Gartman Letter:

As we have said countless times in the past regarding any and all of the markets we cover in TGL, confusion breed contempt. Markets can accept almost any sort of reality, malign or benign as it may. They can even rally if the previous malign status is either finalized and/or is moderated; but they abhor confusion and at the moment things in Greece are more confused than they were even in the run-up to the election.

Gartman made the point that moneys flowing out of the euro and into the Canada dollar, a safer haven. We add to keep an eye on the U.S. 10-year Treasury, which was yielding 1.85% this morning.

This January, a report out of SemiAccurate stated (with 99.9% certainty, no less) Xbox 720's processor chips were a product of IBM and Global Foundaries, and that they were already in production under the codename Oban. Drilling down further, the tech blog predicted Xbox 720 will benefit from a "Power PC CPU plus an ATI GCN/HD7000/Southern Islands GPU. One day later, sources at IGN amended SemiAccurate's assertions by claiming the Southern Islands GPU will instead be patterned off of AMD's 6000 series, and will resemble the Radeon HD 6670, which supports DirectX11, 1080p HD output, and multi-display capabilities.

Still with us? Good; because now the latest word is the Xbox 720 will be a 16-core powerhouse, the likes of which will tear society asunder and enslave our children under a race of superior AI overlords...or something. Point is: We're back to Xbox 720 being a beast of a machine. Whether or not that still means the Xbox 720 will be six times more powerful than the current crop of machines and over 20% more powerful than the Wii U as predicted in New Xbox only 20% more powerful than Wii U we don't know. And frankly, our brains hurt.

Probability: Who Knows? If pressed for a predication, we're fairly sure AMD is involved, and that the Xbox 720 will be a significant leap from the 360. We'll keep you posted if that changes.

When it comes to Beyonc, conspiracy theories abound and damn it, it's fun to speculate. But for the first time since she gave birth to the littlest Illuminati Blue Ivy, Bey is willing to address those who said she was never pregnant to begin with.

In an interview with People, Beyonc didn't mince words about the rumors.

That was crazy. It wasn't hurtful, it was just crazy. [I thought] Where did they come up with this?'

Yes, where did they come up with that?

Well, there was that weird incident where Bey's baby bump appeared to deflate on Australian television, leading credence to the whole "she's wearing a prosthetic" conspiracy. At the time, Beyonc's publicist called the rumors "foolish," but she never really explained what made it look like her client's belly was shrinking in front of a live audience.

Not to worry Beyonc has an answer for that, too.

It was a fabric that folded does fabric not fold? Oh my gosh, so stupid.

I don't know, Beyonc: does it?

I mean, yes, it does. We can probably take Beyonc at her word here, rather than assume a well-orchestrated and far-reaching conspiracy to make the singer look pregnant while a surrogate carried her baby. Or we can keep making wild accusations and calmly wait for Blue Ivy to take control of the world.

The sinister operatives from the Trilateral Commission and the Illuminati who helped me to infiltrate The Arizona Republic and join forces with the United Nations, the Council on Foreign Relations, the Freemasons and the media in order to establish a one-world government will be shocked to learn as I did last week -- that our nefarious scheme for world domination has been uncovered by Tea Party Republicans now in control of the Arizona legislature.

As Boris Badenov once said to Natasha Fatale in The Bullwinkle Show:

Phooey! Foiled again!

To which Natasha replied, Dont you mean, Curses! Foiled again!?

And Boris answered, Please, Natasha. This is a kiddie show.

Likewise, the Arizona Legislature is a kiddie show, with the political delinquents from the Tea Party more or less in charge.

This was proved in part when the state House gave initial approval to SB1507, a bill already OKed by the Senate, which says that no Arizona government entity can do anything that follows the tenets of a NON-BINDING document called the United Nations Rio Declaration on Environment and Development. The declaration was adopted in the 1990s and lists such goals as increasing sustainability, managing natural resources and eradicating poverty.

Can you imagine anything more evil?

There is definitely a black helicopter caucus at the Arizona state house, said Democratic Rep. Ruben Gallego. It would be funny if it didnt have real world ramifications to things like our economy. We're trying to build a 21st century economy for Arizona and this kind of foolishness completely undermines it.

Not according to Tea Party dowagers like Rep. Terri Proud, who believes that the United Nations NON-BINDING declaration will somehow take away our rights as Americans by allowing the United Nations to mandate laws on our soil.

The Atlanta rhymer commences the song with his southern-dipped flow. "I'm outta my fucking mind, out of my fucking my mind," he spits. "I'm outta my fucking mind, gee golly, oh my/ I was doing fine once upon a time/ Until my brain left and didn't say bye."

Nicki shows up in her usual animated style. "You know I graduated summa cum laude/ That's why they thinkin' I'm Illuminati," Minaj delivers. "And matter fact let's kiss and make up, I'll help you escape from my blue Ducati."

The Washington Redskins say they're 99.9 percent likely to select Robert Griffin III in the NFL Draft. But what if they don't? In this horror story, we imagine how the draft will unfold if the Redskins draft the unimaginable.

(This is satire. If you want HARD-HITTING ANALYSIS, check out our final 2012 NFL mock draft.)

Follow , and Like SBNation.com on Facebook.

Apr 26, 2012 - It appears likely that on Thursday night, the Washington Redskins will use their second overall pick to select Robert Griffin III. I use the word "likely" because of the following, which was tweeted by the official Redskins account Wednesday:

Mike Shanahan calls it 99.9 percent that Robert Griffin III is Redskins' pick at No. 2. "Nothing is 100 percent," he said.

Today, we journey into the realm of the remaining 0.1 percent. It is a nightmarish, horrifying realm. It is a realm in which the second overall pick, for which the Redskins paid a fortune in future draft picks, is spent on .... Vontaze Burfict.

The 2012 NFL Draft is only minutes away. There is a lively air of anticipation in the music hall as the late arrivals find their seats. Serious debates, laughter, microphone checks, and clinks of champagne glasses all bounce off the staggered walls of the grand auditorium.

College playoff coming, but will format make sense?

By Joe Ovies Posted at 12:31 p.m.

The good news? The BCS as we know it is withering on the vine and the serious possibility of a Division I-A college football playoff is on the horizon.

The bad news? The Rose, Sugar, Orange and Fiesta Bowls have such an incredible grip on university presidents and athletic directors that sensible thinking will give way to continued fleecing. Conference commissioners like Jim Delaney are ultimately interested in preserving their own brands rather than doing the sensible thing that would take college football beyond regional dominance and profits to new heights.

...but hey, at least we're getting something. Right?

Some form of college playoff is coming to a television set near you. It just makes sense and networks would be willing to dump plenty of cash to obtain the rights. However, it won't be anything like the FCS format. For starters, the football Illuminati are currently discussing the various ways they can avoid calling it an actual playoff. According to documents obtained by USA Today, it's actually called a "Four Team Event."

The convoluted nature of the upcoming BCS format switch has everything to do with competing entities trying to hold on to their piece of the financial pie and politics. The major bowls, exposed for the boondoggles they are thanks to Dan Wetzel, are lobbying hard for their continued inclusion. Competing conference interests also get in the way, since the Big Ten doesn't necessarily want what he SEC wants and vice versa.

This is why the new system won't go beyond four teams and won't be played on the fields of higher-seeded teams. The Big Ten and PAC 12 want to keep the Rose Bowl. All the commissioners want to prevent "playoff creep." Most importantly, there is more money to be made in doing it all on neutral sites, including the brave new world of a Super Bowl-like college championship played in a non-traditional location such as Dallas.

All of it does and doesn't make sense at the same time. Going to a playoff format was inevitable because conferences were leaving money on the table in the old format, but trying to maintain an antiquated bowl system hands too much of that cash to the wrong people.

Marinate on this thought -- the college presidents and athletic directors have always argued against the playoff because it would require too much time and travel for the "student athletes," but what they are getting ready to implement would actually increase travel for everyone. There would be a neutral site conference championship, followed by a neutral site semifinal "event," which would then be followed by another neutral site national title game. That's 3 different cities in just over a month.

Ovies: College playoff coming, but will format make sense?

NEW YORK Its an age-old saying in Hollywood that sex sells, but with consumers finding themselves oversaturated with sexual imagery, todays top acts are turning to something even more sinful to get our attention: Satan.

Performer Nicki Minajs Pink Friday: Roman Reloaded is getting a lot of buzz this month, due in large part to her infamous Grammy performance earlier this year, where she acted out scenes from an exorcism onstage. While critics, particularly religious groups, blasted the imagery in that performance as ill-timed and awkward, there is no denying that Minaj garnered the attention she was looking for with her antics.

"Like sex, provocative subject matters and whatever is perceived to be forbidden intrigues the human psyche, explains Kelly Brady, a partner in Brandsway Creative, a marketing and public relations company.Nicki Minaj's performance, although criticized, created an intrigue and it kept her fans wanting to know what's next.

The pop star continues to feed into the buzz machine and has even gone so far as to explain that she believes a demon named Roman lives inside her.

His name is Roman. Basically, the religious figure is there because he was called by Roman's mom to rehabilitate him. Thats pretty much it, she said post-Grammys. I had this vision for Roman. I had this vision for him to be sort of exorcised. People around him tell him hes not good enough cause hes not normal, and hes not blendingin with the average Joe. People around him are afraid because theyve never seen anything like him. Not only is he amazing, sure of himself and confident, but hes never going to be exorcised. Even when they throw the holy water on him, he rises above.

And while her statements may be dark, bizarre and have religious groups up in arms, they have translated to massive sales for Minaj. Her album Pink Friday: Roman Reloaded debuted at Number one last week with an impressive 250,000 album sales.

More importantly, it got everyone talking about her in an environment where celebrity news often lasts for a mere few minutes before eyeballs are moving onto the next story.

But invoking Satanic imagery is nothing new in music, and Minaj is following in some successful footsteps.

Heavy metal bands in the seventies and eighties pioneered the trend of Satanic marketing, most noticeably acts like Black Sabbath, Motley Crue and KISS.

What goes around comes around. The metal bands of the 70s and 80s who presented themselves as satanic sold records, and apparently its time to try the idea again. Theres a reason its called shock value, says Shawn McEvoy, the Managing Editor of the Christian website Crosswalk.com. It sells, though logically it shouldnt, because if Satan is real, then hes our enemy who has nothing but our destruction in mind, and if youre an atheist, why buy that which glorifies the losing side of a theology you dont believe in anyway?
