The Beards are an Australian rock 'n' roll group that sings about beards. Like, all of their songs--from a nearly decade-long career--are about beards. Here's their latest single:
They just played SXSW in Austin, so we asked Johann Beardraven (lead vocals/keys/sax/kazoo) about breaking into the American market. And, mostly, about beards. Read on for his answers and more of the band's videos.

The Bible is a religious text that provides spiritual guidance for many of its devoted readers. Slayer is the most vicious, most brutal thrash metal band to emerge from the U.S., and its fans are equally devoted. While they're both far apart in message, we noticed similarities in language.
Here's a quick game to see if you can determine which is which. It's not a sin to answer incorrectly, but we can't promise you'll sleep easier at night if you do. Answers at bottom.

Moms are great, especially our favorite kind: HOT ones. MILFs, cougars--whatever you want to call them, let's all give thanks by making a playlist of songs devoted to fantasizing about other people's mothers. (Key words being "other people's.")
This is the gold standard of all MILF songs, made even better by its awesome music video, which perfectly sums up what it's like to pine for your lame girlfriend's supermodel mom. We've all been there, kid.

When Andrew W.K. announced that he'd be the new spokesman for Playtex Fresh + Sexy Wipes ("Whether you just finished rocking a packed club or have an intimate encounter after a busy day, this product will make couples feel brand new," he said in a press release), it caused a media firestorm. And it also caused a firestorm here at Guy Code Blog, 'cause we've been on the male wipes train for months.
We asked the hard-partying rock star for his thoughts on everything from personal hygiene to... uh... Brad Pitt and self-fellatio? You're not gonna have a normal conversation with this dude, but you'll definitely have a fun one.
How did Playtex approach you about this endorsement?
Personally I was given this product, the Fresh + Sexy Wipes, to help me be a little bit better of my own self. There's times when I've realized I'm not a very clean individual, but I always wanted to be clean where it counts. Playtex saw that, the potential I had in that realm, the realm, I really mean that realm, that intimate realm.
I'm not the cleanest guy in the world. I'm headbanging 24, 25 hours a day at this point. I could use a little help in that department, to freshen. I don't need it. I don't need this. Nobody NEEDS this. You WANT this. You don't NEED to clean yourself. You just need to drink water and eat some kind of food. You make choices about what you want, what you desire, what you deserve.
Brad Pitt uses baby wipes. So does Will.i.am. Do you think this is part of a growing movement for guys?
Brad Pitt, he's as handsome and beautiful as a man can get. He really is great. He's got a lot of chutzpah, a lot to offer. I wouldn't say he's taken a lot of risks, but if he wants to clean himself up, that's fine, all right? Actually, I don't think he's that great. He's got a nice face. Just growing a beard, that doesn't do it. That doesn't count.
After "Fight Club" and "Inglourious Basterds," you don't think he's that great?
Yeah, you're right. I take it back.

Houston Texans running back Arian Foster, who went from unsigned free agent to leading the NFL in rushing last season, knows the power of hard work and staying positive. (Like, really, really positive.) He also knows the power of a good jam. 'Cause when he's not practicing yoga or eating vegan cuisine--slightly atypical for a pro football player--he's amping up his workouts with new fitness device Armour39 and music at full blast.
We wanted to pump up our muscles and our music collections, so Arian gave us his favorite tunes...and his reasons for loving 'em.

Rappers like to boast about the size of their mansions, but they love to boast about the size of their members. From claims of uncanny sexual prowess to intentional comedic absurdity, a dong reference can always make a line zing. Here are 10 of the best and most outrageous dick references in rap, picked by the experts at Rap Genius.
10. Ying Yang Twins, "Wait (The Whisper Song)"
"You might had some, but you never had none like this/
Just wait 'til you see my dick"
Claiming to have the two best penises of all time, and expecting women to fall over at the mere sight of their members, the Ying Yang Twins fill an entire three minutes with dick boasts. It's the dirtiest song that you can hear on the radio, setting a new standard for airplay-friendly genital hyperbole.

There have been some fantastic entries to MTV2's "Win A Date With Melanie Contest" from guys (and girls) hoping to impress Melanie Iglesias. But one video made our jaws drop, not just because the dude is a ridiculously talented singer/guitarist, but because--as a citizen of Ireland--he's not even eligible to win. He just wanted to share his song, "Melanie," with the world. And we're glad he did, 'cause it's really, really good:
Turns out, he's a bit of a YouTube phenomenon. His name's Alan Patterson, but he goes by "The Sidesho," and his songs have racked up hundreds of thousands of views. He told us all about his career, whether "Guy Code" is popular in Ireland and why Melanie is his muse. He's definitely our favorite Irish guitarist with a fake name since The Edge. Read the interview and watch more of his (occasionally NSFW) videos after the jump.

Plenty of celebrities, from Ludacris to Snooki, pop up at the Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas for product endorsements--but rap mogul, author and actor (and headphone connoisseur) 50 Cent distinguishes himself by hanging around for the whole week, promoting his various ventures to anyone who'll listen. Fiddy took time to drop some knowledge on us about how to survive "the Super Bowl of gadgets," and which ones have him the most excited.

Sure we could consider Vegas's lines, previous matchups, analysis by FootballOutsiders, Bill Barnwell, Peter King, or pray to Paul the Olympics Octopus ...but we decided to leave the oddsmaking to the oddsmakers and instead compare the music from cities competing in the Divisional Round this weekend.
In some cases, we had to weigh different scenes: Seattle's grunge rock versus Atlanta's hip-hop, but try to put your preferences aside and compare the overall impact of bands/artists as a whole. (How's that working out for you?). We've got an awesome "anthem" match-up between Baltimore and Denver, and avoided a major mismatch between San Francisco heavyweights and Green Bay wedding bands, thanks to our adoption of a Milwaukee troupe. Without further adieu... Atlanta versus Seattle after the jump.
