How can a music video be as good, let alone BETTER than Michael Jackson's Thriller?
Enjoy
It's silly. It's obviously fake. It's stupid and flawed, but it's got charm.
"You see, my dear, I have reason to believe you have been unfaithful. And, therefore, I would like to perform a simple to test to verify that fact..."
This pathway was built in 1901 to support water control projects the El Camino del Ray. It has fallen into disrepair, but that doesn't keep the daring from taking a leisurely stroll.
When I was in high school I worked at a retail nursery (Metzler's), and I was always amused by the bags of composted cow manure we sold which featured a drawing of a cow, dressed in overalls and a straw hat, walking on her hind legs and pushing a wheelbarrow full of what I assumed was her own shit. (We also sold a product called Melorganite, which is "activated sewage sludge". People poop. It had no such artwork on the bag...)
At any rate, here's a website called Suicide Food which features animals in advertising who are trying to convince us to eat them. Yum.
Who knew that Mike Judge's awesome movie Idiocracy (Thanks Fox for releasing it in only 130 theaters) would turn out to be more psychic prediction than satire!
Remember BRAWNDO - the sports drink that everyone drinks instead of water? Well it's now a real product (tongue in cheek but real!) And the Major League Baseball is taking care of the rest of the story...
How long until they bring this show back? I can't wait! I think Gabe Kaplan might still have the track suit! And didn't they have sports bras back then? No? Awesome!
Good stuff from Star Trek.
By far the weirdest cover of a Skynyrd song ever! Surprisingly good - but odd!
Enjoy.
Creepy, hypnotic, like something out of an old sci-fi movie...yet somehow captivating.
Beastie Boys: The Mix-Up
This is just a seriously bad-ass album. Funky phat beats and groovy baselines. Awesome guitar and organ riffs. Also just saw them in concert recently, and they play better than ever. (****)
Shawn Lee & The Ping Pong Orchestra: Moods and Grooves: Ubiquity Studio Sessions, Vol. 2
I love Shawn's stuff! It's the soundtrack of my day. (****)
Various Artists: The In-Kraut: Hip Shaking Grooves Made in Germany 1966-1974
Nobody swings 60's style like the crazy Germans! (***)
A3: Last Train to Mashville, Vol. 2
I love Alabama 3, but this album is the culmination of all their styles, blues, r+b, rap, gospel, techno and southern rock. Awesome stuff. (*****)
Charlie Haden & Pat Metheny: Beyond The Missouri Sky (Short Stories)
There's a reason this won the Grammy. Charlie and Pat doing what they do - perfectly. (*****)
Various Artists: Movements: 14 Deep Funk Pearls
Found this one at the 'going out of business' sale at Tower. Just good funky fun! (***)
Alabama 3: Outlaw
This is A3's most commercial album yet. A cool mix of southern (English) rock, techno, and catchy hooks. (***)
Thievery Corporation: The Cosmic Game
Chill Chill Chill. I use this to negate road rage!
(***)
Lyrics Born: Same !@#$ Different Day
I'm not a real fan of RAP, but Lyrics Born just an amazing musician! Real solid tunes! Check him out! (****)
Gnarls Barkley: St Elsewhere
It's been a while where the buzz was dead on about an album. Damn cool! Living up to the hype - in style! (****)
Borat Sagdiyev: BORAT: Touristic Guidings to Minor Nation of U.S. and A. and Touristic Guidings to Glorious Nation of Kazakhstan
Yes, this is damn funny. And NO, I don't have Jew claws.
Alexandre Dumas: The Count of Monte Cristo (Bantam Classics)
Damn this thing is long. But I'm hoping the end is worth the journey!
David Rakoff: Don't Get Too Comfortable: The Indignities of Coach Class, The Torments of Low Thread Count, The Never- Ending Quest for Artisanal Olive Oil, and Other First World Problems
The funniest gay Canadian you'll ever read!
Barbara Mac Lamprecht: Richard Neutra (Taschen Basic Architecture)
A great overview of Neutra's work. Great information, plans, and photos.
Sarah Vowell: Assassination Vacation
Educational, Hilarious, and Fun! I wish my high school history teacher had been this entertaining.
Richard Dawkins.: The God Delusion
Just about to start this bad boy. Looks like a fun one! Dawkins is so damn smart - he can make this case better than anyone.
Carl Gottlieb: The Jaws Log, 30th Anniversary Edition
An awesome behind the scenes account of one of the greatest movies ever made. Not flashy, or embellished, but truthful and entertaining.
The Areas of My Expertise: John Hodgman
All true! Every salacious word if it!
Chris Ware: The Acme Novelty Library (Acme Novelty Library)
Awesome Ware funnies! A real nice variety of his characters and tons of his "vintage" comic ads.
Carl Zimmer: Parasite Rex
How can a non-fiction book be creepy and awesome at the same time? I don't know, but he does it! After you read this, the world will never look the same!
