Good food, good eats...

Yes, here they are — fifty(!) songs that, if perhaps not particularly suited to the type of Thanksgiving that you celebrate, then are at least tangentially related to getting one's grub on. Good God, let's eat!

There are leftovers, by the by.

Big bucket of Halloween goodies

I didn't plan on offering much on this topic, but as it turns out, I have for you people 2.75 hours of Halloween music, two full-length movies and four trailers for movies that you might consider Netflixing.

Finally, some Van Halen!

I don't know how I managed to overlook this performance of Reggie Watts covering that that Van Halen song. But here we go.




I've been sitting on Diamond Dave's "Tokyo Story" while waiting for an appropriate spot to put this. Thanks, Reg!




And I guess this goes here, because Diamond Dave.

TURBO DISTURBO SPEDAAMO

Well, tomorrow marks the official beginning of fall. Such little time left for heatstroke hallucinations. And so I gather together the summer's creepiest audio-visual finds, and offer them up to those of you interested in such things. For those weak sisters in the audience with an aversion to the combination of Karo syrup and red food dye, I'd advise you to skip this post and maybe try something safe, soothing and non-confrontational.

NSFW - Comedy stuffs

There are far too many post-Bill Hicks comedians who borrowed his over-the-top sex obscenities and cussin' about Republicans, without really searching for and finding their own voice. Watch how Doug Stanhope does it. I liked Bill Hicks and all, but choked with rage as he was, his arguments always seemed disjointed and sort of out-of-focus. The measured, structured stand-up shown here is where I hoped he'd get to someday.



Here's a bit of Chris Morris

Starts out bad and gets worse quick, so if you're not into excruciatingly dark humor, pass this by. I'm not sure I could say that "Gun" is the creepiest thing I've heard from Chris Morris, but the dissociative nature of that monolgue give me some big-time creepy-crawlies.



I like books. Not everyone does.
