Another Mr. Show classic.
Alien: Earth Episodes 1&2 Easter Eggs
My latest obsession is the new Alien: Earth series on Hulu. Just the right balance of callbacks to previous Alien movies and fresh creative ideas. It’s pretty … pretty … pretty … pretty good. Some of the stuff this New Rockstars guy notices might be a stretch, but he catches a ton of details I missed.
Anyway, enjoy or don’t. But don’t text me six months from now saying, “Oh my god, have you watched Alien: Earth? It’s amazing!” (You know who you are.)
I Shoud’ve Listened To My Old Man
Very cool cover, and she’s adorable.
Jonee Jumped In His Datsun
I had the pleasure of finally seeing DEVO in Austin 14 years ago, but I really wish I could’ve seen them during this period, when it was still mostly guitars and Alan Myers (The Human Metronome) on drums. Anyway, please to enjoy this official HD video.
Chris Bell’s Mysterious Death and Big Star’s Music Legacy
Happy Monday! Listen to this instead of whatever else you’re supposed to be doing right now.
P.S. – Rich Tupica’s book is excellent! And reading it, I learned that I literally grew up in the house across the street from where Chris Bell grew up. Missed him by about 10 years, though.
Finally, A Proper Use For AI Video
I fucking love this.
In My Room Harmonies
Music nerd alert!
Never Forget
An absolute classic, and perfectly appropriate for the Monday I’m having.
Shitwind Is An AI Band?!
And It’s Ken Dodd’s Dad’s Dog’s Death On The Telly
Don’t know a lot about these guys but I like this tune. Popped up on Spotify one day while I was cutting the grass!
I was in Manchester in the rain
Stood grinnin’ at my phone, lookin’ fuckin’ insane
Cunts pushed by me, they were gettin’ the train
I thought “What would it take for that to derail?”
Lately, been a little not loose
Korn in the oven, Limp Bizkit in my brew
‘Cause reality blurs and I’m skippin’ on the true
Push away people I’m supposed to be close to
Havin’ peacetime key lime pecan pie
After heavin’ down a sausage and half a jar of brine
We’ve got the orders, we’re in the livin’ quarters
With a load of hotdogs and a heap of fuckin’ burgers
Where’s my resolve? I think you got it
Then you waddled out the room with it in your back pocket
Turn it up, mum, I’ve got prawns in my belly
And it’s Ken Dodd’s dad’s dog’s death on the telly
