Remember when you stayed up too late watching MTV and they'd cart out all the shit that was too nuts for primetime? Me too. Here's the best goddamn obscure/great videos from my wasted early adolescence:To me, Love Battery sounds like the nineties. Especially this song. I can just picture Beavis and Butt-head making fun of it.Mr. Mirainga was the second and best in my personal trio of one "hit

Well, this is turning out to be a shitty, shitty year. So far my job is in serious jeopardy, Shell's backed her new(ish) car into a boat trailer and it got gnarled, I hit someone while driving for the first time in eight years, Michelle's new braces make her voice sound kinda funny and I'm afraid people won't take her seriously anymore, oh and her jobless brother moved in with us; plus I'm

Welcome class! Please begin by starting playback on the Seeqpod playlist below.SeeqPod - Playable SearchThank you.This is an introductory course on the best goddamn music out of Canada since Neil Young. They're almost more of a relatively stable genius collective than a band, as 4 of the 8 members still put out their own records outside of New Pornographers and they've all been in touring bands

Originally from 09/07/08 -So, we had the storm of the year about a week ago here in Phoenix. Instead of the suburbs getting the worst of it like usual, us city dwellers got pounded. Bad. The wind was howling and whipping our trees around and it was raining sideways. Violently. We lost power for two days. The worst damage I saw:>Stone table tops at work got lifted off their bases and

So, ahead of “The Dark Knight” is a trailer for The Watchmen movie. As a fan of the book, I was fired up. I wasn’t sure what to expect from the director, Zack Snyder, who hasn’t really shown us whether he’s able to handle material that is deeper and more thought provoking than 300 Spartans heroically defending the hot gates. I’m an open minded fanboy though, so I went in with only a mild

So I didn’t get laid in high school until my junior year, and it was lame at that. My friend Lindsay worked at Starbucks with me at the time. We worked together a lot and for whatever reason, flirted like mad. This was highly unusual because my idea of hot girl was Korean and clad in knee socks and a plaid skirt. Lindsay was a bull dyke. And a junkie. On her good days she was fun to be

Man, I used to totally love smoking pot, dude. It was fuckin’ badass. I used to talk like that too. Every 3rd or 4th word was dude or fuck or some variation thereof. Hmm….not too much has changed. Anyway, if there was such a thing as a loudmouth, pissed off pothead punk rocker, that was me. I should talk about my personal definitions and experiences with getting stoned and getting high

This is a powerful experience. Ever since I first heard "Hey man nice shot" in the summer of 1995 I thought it was a heavy song. Musically, lyrically and emotionally heavy. When I learned that it was written about a PA State Treasurer involved in a huge scandal, who may or may not have even been involved, and then ended his life on camera, I had to see it. Today, I finally found the video.

Pac-Man is a complete looney-tunes whackjob lunatic reptile. We dropped in 5 feeder goldfish today and he went apeshit and snarfed 2 of them immediately. The thing is, after he gets one in his beak, he has to do a crazy victory lap all around his tank. The whole time he's violently shaking and shredding the dying fish, so he's leaving a morbid trail of shiny scales behind him as he swims. Once he

Tuesday was great. I was finishing up 'Batman Begins' and the phone rings. I'm all 'wtf!?' and it's a lady saying she saw Ollie in her backyard! So I get her address, run the two blocks to get there and then begin scouring the alley behind her house. Sure enough, there he is, the little bastard. After chasing him down a few times I grabbed him off a wall he landed on. Brought him home fine

Our beloved cockatiel, Ollie, flew away this morning. Michelle searched high and low. I'm really bummed. Here's the craigslist and petfinder post -"Our little yellow cockatiel Ollie flew away this morning around 7:30. He flew from our backyard into a neighbors and took off again from there.

Ok, so last night we hosted a going away party for Michelle's friend Donna. I got to prepare and serve the food. The new grill performed admirably, except that it fucking flared when I first ignited it and it singed off all the hair on my left forearm, some on my head and even my eyelashes! Nice. The cigarette I was smoking got hit too, apparently, bc the cherry was gone. At least no one was

I'm never moving again. It seems like the most painful process in existence after that whole mummification-brain-out-the-nose-with-a-hook thing. We'll survive. Still have some running around and item-purchasing to do. Blech. I need a cable cover for the dining room entry and a long coax cable. Not already having a long coax cable is particularly painful and embarrassing because I am the

Ok, so Michelle and I are finally moved into the house, but, everything is still in complete disarray and packed in boxes. Going from an apartment to a house for the first time is a pretty big deal. We're excited, but also tired. I have three days off starting tomorrow, so I should be able to clear the place up considerably. The dogs and cats love the backyard, as do we. This is pretty
