Helplessly Shaking With Silent Laughter

In Case You're Wondering...

Not my best work. I'll have to redraw Moko again when I'm not recording so I don't get stage fright and mess up.

Blow, Wind, BLOW!

I'm happy because the anti-marriage fuckwits have pretty much run out of scare tactics and have begun to recycle gay themes such as the rainbow symbol and the cry of "You're taking away my rights."

This is not going to work. One by one, the dominoes are toppling. In fifty years the Gay Agenda will reign supreme in every land. Butt sex will be in every home, whether you like it or not. Dirty, dirty butt sex. Dicks and trannies will be on every advertising billboard. On the final day of this Sodom on earth, ropy jets of jizz will rain down from the heavens in a planet-drowning bukkake of death.

We call it "The Coming Storm" and it's going to fucking rock.

Snow Katamari Revisited

The annotation function on YouTube is SUPER SWEET. Here's why:



I found this old video just now and re-uploaded it (had to put in different music because YouTube mutes unlicensed songs). I like it better now anyway.

Terminator 2: Low Budgement Day

Cannot stop laughing.

how do you say 'Dora is drowning' in Spanish?

Sent to me on DeviantArt:



This is the only acceptable use of YouTube pop-up text. Holy shit I'm still laughing.

BECAUSE SHE'S DROWNING.

In Babylon

It is so fucking weird to find Planet P's music on YouTube. Weird and awesome.

I grew up on his stuff... hell, I still play the Pink World album through from start to finish a couple of times a year, and it never disappoints. Pink World was my only friend when I lived in Missouri. I had a walkman and I'd play the album every single morning on the two-hour backwoods bus ride. There was also Floyd and Kraftwerk, Men Without Hats and Hawkwind, but this was not their standout era.

When I listen to that album, I remember one-lane mountain roads that crept past layers of flat morning mist that buried the Ozark mountains for miles. I remember the horrible cornhusker's lotion the driver used to bathe in before work each day, the rotten smell of the seat covers, diesel fuel. Sitting alone in the back of the bus, so every bump in the road gave my brains a stir. Somehow, the memories are never bleak and miserable. That era in my life was pretty black. The worst things that ever happened to me all took place in Missouri, but Planet P only brings back the good stuff.

I also remember deciding to be a comic artist because I wanted to tell stories. Planet P did it all solo for Pink World, and while the music itself didn't age well (turns out synthesizers taste better in moderation), for me it was always all about the story. And wanting to tell my own.

It's really cool to know he's still making music, telling epic album-length stories, mostly solo. I'm rooting for him. The Go Out Dancing project reminds me (favorably) of Roger Waters in one of his apocalyptic moods. I haven't gotten to know Levittown yet, but so far I'm digging the hell out of it. Waiting for the right time to play it to death with my full attention so I can digest the lyrics.

(But Do You Know Who's Listening?)

Vienna Teng's Whatever You Want is my current favorite song ever. We cannot has embedding for the file, but it's totally worth a middle-click.

I love it when people sing about shit that's actually interesting. Revenge, activism, screwing over Le Homme, and of course the timeless question of "Who does the prostitutes' laundry?" Teng rarely disappoints. I'm always thinking "Good god, woman, can you please just write ONE bad lyric sometime so I won't feel like hanging myself from the shower head every time I crank out a half-decent filk song about Mary Sues?

The Venture Bros. Still Rocks

I can't tell you how many times I've re-watched this episode, just for this classic Walking Eye bit. And the bathroom subplot, of course. (Just don't ask me why the uploader put "yaoi" in the title).

Season 3 is about to come out on DVD. Joy! I haven't seen any of the new episodes yet but I smell a marathon coming on as soon as I get my hot little hands on the set.

A Cautionary Tale

At first I didn't think I'd like this song, but it turned out to be a real gut-puncher.

Working Jet Pack Lasts For Hours

I need one and I need to use it to cross Lake Superior and I need it now.

Who's a Wuzzums?

YOU'RE A WUZZUMS.

Vienna Teng

God DAMN I love this woman's music.



me and my baby on a february holiday
'cause we got the news
yeah, we got the news
500 miles and we're gonna make it all the way
we've got nothing to lose
we've got nothing to lose

it's been 10 years waiting
but it's better late than the never
we've been told before
we can't wait one minute more

oh, me and my baby driving down
to a hilly seaside town in the rainfall
oh, me and my baby stand in line
you've never seen a sight so fine
as the love that's gonna shine
at city hall

me and my baby've been through
a lot of good and bad
learned to kiss the sky
made our mommas cry
I've seen a lot of friends
after giving it all they had
lay down and die
lay down and die

10 years into it
here's our window
at the vegas drive-thru chapel
it ain't too much
for 'em all to handle

oh, me and my baby driving down
to a hilly seaside town in the rainfall
oh, me and my baby stand in line
you've never seen a sight so fine
as the love that's gonna shine
at city hall

outside, they're handing out
donuts and pizza pies
for the folks in pairs in the folding chairs
my baby's lookin' so damned pretty
with those anxious eyes
rain-speckled hair
and my ring to wear

10 years waiting for this moment of fate
when we say the words and sign our names
if they take it away again someday
this beautiful thing won't change

oh, me and my baby driving down
to a hilly seaside town in the rainfall
oh, me and my baby stand in line
you've never seen a sight so fine
as the love that's gonna shine

oh, me and my baby driving down
to a hilly seaside town in the rainfall
oh, me and my baby stand in line
you've never seen a sight so fine
as the love that's gonna shine
at city hall

Wanda Sykes on Gay Marriage

Dude, Wanda Sykes is gay? And married? You learn something new every day, I guess. Unfortunately for me, the thing I learned today is that she can never be mine :(

Good speech, though. Heart-stomping bitch.

I STILL LOVE YOU WANDA

The Great Gig In The Sky

"...And that, ladies and gentlemen, is why we need the space program."

It's Been Stuck In My Head All Day Too, Leslie...

Lemon Jelly Always Makes Things Better

This is like ten times more fucked up than Katamari Damacy and Frogger combined.

And, shit, this one's even better:



I'm so glad they have more videos than just Nice Weather for Ducks. Their animations do good things to my brain.

Wishful Thinking

It finally occurred to me to look on YouTube and see if there are any music videos from the Ditty Bops. And I struck gold!



OH GOD SO FUCKING ADORABLE. I want to put both of them in my pocket.

Emerge

Found on a tree in the front yard. Cool, huh?

Pics of same are hi-rez and will go up on DeviantArt.

Also: Aaaand I'm sick again. This has not been my summer at all, has it?

Skyhounding? Skyhounding!

BEST THUNDERSTORM YET.

Stills and gifs from the storm will be up tomorrow or the day after. For now, I too tired!
