Out on 4/20, of course!
And also …
Seona Dancing
Ricky Gervais.
I thought this was A.I.
Funny Old Bag
I snort laughed several times at this. My new favorite comedian.
A Documentary Made By Fans, With Fans, For … Fans
Crowdfunded project coming Q4, 2025. Order yours today! Of course, you might want to see the film first.
We Can’t Rewind / We’ve Gone Too Far
I have to say I watched a fuck-ton of MTV in its first year. I thought it was the greatest thing ever until it wasn’t. This is pretty fun to watch the first day’s broadcast (43 years ago today!). Also, everyone knows Video Killed the Radio Star was the first video, but what was the second?!
Also, Atari ad around 27 minutes in!
Twas a Riot
Someone pieced together fan video from the Replacements’ RiotFest Show in Denver (okay, outside of Denver) a few eleven (!) years ago. I of course, was at that show (saw the Stooges as well). Anyway, it sounds great, and Paul is hilarious.
What Did You Think Those Saddles and Boots Was About?
Willie apparently recorded this back in the 80s, but it never saw the light of day until Brokeback Mountain came out, and he decided to release it. He recently revived it with the magnificent Orville Peck. Country gold.
40 Years Ago Today!
Dylan shows up to play Letterman with a punk band (the Plugz who later became Cruzados) and it absolutely rips. They never played with him again, but apparently had spent a month or so playing with him at his house.
A good interview with the bass player here talking about how it all went down (from a very good book about musicians who played with him).
On a side note, I saw Bob last night here in Beerville. I loved it.
Andy Kaufman’s Helpful Hints
Renfield and I caught the new Kaufman documentary at the Indie Memphis Film Festival yesterday, which of course sent me down the YouTube rabbit hole later. These clips are not in the movie, but a good sampling of some of the things he did to enrage the locals during his Memphis wrasslin heel stint in 1982. Hilarious.
The guy they keep cutting back to is Dave Brown, weatherman and co-host (along with Lance Russell) of the local wrestling program on our NBC affiliate.
