Friday Videos - Jan 8th, 2016

posted January 8, 2016 #

Congrats on your first week of doing whatever you did in 2016. I look forward to what the rest of the year holds - including a bunch more ridiculous GIFs, videos and, ideally, an upgrade to Friday Videos to be able to include more than just Youtube and Vimeo clips. Cheers!

Raccoon Candy Floss - I feel bad for this little dude but sometimes magic is dark.
NYE as a Bouncer - 9 minutes of hidden camera footage capturing real drunk, real dumb club go-ers. Couldn't turn away.
Matt Berry - Take My Hand - I've been watching Matt Berry in some incarnation or another for many years. This version of the Toast of London theme song is just a solid, non-weird, performance from him. Sometimes it's good to balance things out.
Nathan Barley - Smoked Salmon Coffee - as an addendum to my earlier post about the goodness of Nathan Barley, please enjoy this clip in which Dan Ashcroft is bested once again by the idiots.
Bushes of Love - if you haven't seen this bizarre Bad Lip Reading Star Wars Music Video, partake! It is quite strange.
David Bowie - Blackstar - the man is 69 years old today and still keeping it weird in a good way. Kudos Mr. Bowie.
SNL Cut for Time: Tweet - I love these Cut For Time sketches. This one has a particularly impressive production value and some surprises that I won't spoil.

How about some more non-embeddable entertainment? Look at these two weirdos using Face Swap Live - this weeks greatest app. Or what about this handy dog or cat burglar? Oh, and I died laughing watching this way too many times. Okay, enough of that!

Enjoy yourself.

Happy Bowie Day! Black Star is out today, and it?s really weird and good! May we all be such radiant bastions of creativity at 70 yrs old.

Lake Superior

posted January 7, 2016 #

It's like Billy Childish says, "We live in troubled times". Last week, we got a sneak peek at what goes on behind the curtains of our criminal justice system. A few sleepless nights later we gathered in the studio and wrote this song. Written, recorded, mixed and mastered in 2 days. Proceeds from the sale will go to the Innocence Project - http://www.innocenceproject.org/ Download will be available shortly. "Lake Superior" Verse 1: On a stretch of sand, sweet northern breeze Manitowoc put Avery on the beach Your alibi, will never do When the whole town's got it out for you Judge fox, the Great Lake stain Got Superior wanting to pull its own drain To abandon the shore, where the poor get whipped And the fat get fatter and the rich stay rich Where the mice of men are chained and bruised Where to stand accused is to admit you lose Chorus: I wanna know People outdoor Ain't gonna go out and act insane My Baby girl Out in a world All alone burns a hole in my brain I wanna know People outdoor Ain't gonna go out and act insane My baby boy Pride and joy He's gonna go out and do the same Verse 2: In the hall of harm disgraceful sounds Manitowoc knows how to gavel pound They crack it right and shoot on site Do you know where your baby is tonite? The red tide is back again Old Superior's new McCarthy clan Back on the shore, where the poor get whipped And the fat get fatter and the rich stay rich Where the mice of men are chained and bruised Where to stand accused is to admit you lose

The Best Book Covers Of 2015

posted January 7, 2016 #

I'm just now seeing the NY Times curated Best Book Covers of 2015 collection. Some seriously impressive work there. My question is: do they now put cover art credit inside the book credits or does it remain attributed to the Publisher? Hopefully the former and not the latter.

Rabble.TV

posted January 7, 2016 #

The nerdiest way to explain Rabble is that it's MST3K for anyone. You can record an audio track for any event, movie or silly ole thing you want to. OR you can tune in as a listener and hear the silliness provided as an alternate audio track. Their primary angle is going for Niche Sports Broadcasting - instead of listening to the regular announcers, you can mute your TV and listen to plenty of other folks call the game.

Personally, I've no interest in the Sports angle of things but I can certainly see a lot of potential in watching a movie with a commentary track, a full-blown nerd rant or even a 90 minute list of minutia about the film. They've got some work to do but I like the potential!
