Remembering Matt Villines

posted July 12, 2016 #

Matt Villines is half of the directing duo "Matt and Oz" - of which you have likely seen many of their creations on Saturday Night Live over the past few years. They're responsible for such phenomenal creations as (Do It On My) Twin Bed, the 2014 Emmy Nominated Digital Short.

Sadly, Matt passed away yesterday after a battle with cancer. He was 39. I am completely shocked and at a total loss for words to the news. I did not know him well but did have the fortunate pleasure of hanging out with him on one occasion and loved it. Moreso, I've been following his work with Oz for many years and always got a laugh.

Take a moment to remember Matt and then take a deep dive into his archive of hilariousness. It's always a little bit goofy, a little bit melancholy and often a little bit absurd, in the best way.

Irrefutable Proof That Alex Jones Is Bill Hicks

posted July 12, 2016 #

While I don't believe a word of it, I completely love the idea that someone spent the time to make a 33-minute mini-documentary exploring the conspiracy theory that Alex Jones IS Bill Hicks. The idea is clearly preposterous but they do both share a few similar qualities in terms of governmental distrust and fevered outbursts. However, Hicks was clearly a soul looking for some connection, Jones is just tornado of misdirected frustration.

A weekend in Salem, MA

posted July 11, 2016 #

Two friends of mine got married over the weekend in the Salem, MA area and I had a pleasure revisiting the sleepy town with the shameful past. I thought I'd share a few items of note if you ever find yourself in the area:
  • The Record Exchange - if you're into giant used record stores, this is a mecca. It's a ton of stuff but it's actually extremely organized, even the un-priced overstock.
  • HausWitch - there's so much "Witch" stuff in Salem but 95% of it is incredibly cheesy. HausWitch provides Wiccan starter kits and has responsible homewares and decore; an excellent counterpoint to the typical black t-shirt + funny saying offerings throughout the rest of the town.
  • Ugly Mug Diner - the food is tasty, the coffee is good but the Tarot Card Bubblegum Dispenser Machine in the lobby is really the main attraction here for me. 25cents earns you a laminated card that may tell of your impending doom-and-gloom, perfect before a big meal.
  • Ponychase - Parade of Youth - though it is not a place you can visit physically, Jordan Caress (one of the lovely brides) is one of the masterminds behind this melancholy pop and everyone should enjoy it.
Short list, you say? Well, sure, it's a Starter Kit! You should also do the Witch Museum, Sitckwork, House of Seven Gables, The Friendship Wharf, and walk the main town drag to see folks dressed in Steam Punk outfits (or Nosferatu) if you're there for the first time. It's a surprisingly worthwhile weekend excursion.
