Some genius had the bright idea to play pop hits recorded by
Alvin & The Chipmunks at 16 speed, and we now have
“the most important postpunk/goth album ever recorded.”
Slip into those sludgy grooves.
This One’s For You, Monkeystador
Mulaney hosted SNL this past weekend, which can only mean one thing: legitimately funny skits.
Yes, Please

For over three decades, award-winning producer/writer/comedian Larry David has been one of TV’s defining talents. Now, this insightful two-part documentary finds the 74-year-old sitting down with friend/director Larry Charles for a peek behind the proverbial curtain, as David gets candid about his personal and professional highs and lows, from his humble beginnings as an unfunny Brooklyn kid to becoming America’s favorite misanthrope. In between reflecting on his bumpy road to success – and hit series Seinfeld and Curb Your Enthusiasm – David shares his thoughts on everything from metaphysics to parenthood. Genuine, hilarious, and eye-opening, The Larry David Story shines a new light on the infamous cynic who remains a singular voice in comedy today.
Guy In Siberia Restores Soviet Motorcycle
This is as cool as it gets.
Magical Mystery Chord
Harmonics doesn’t get more fun than this chord. I think someone’s posted an analysis here before, but I’d forgotten the details. Randy Bachman got to listen to the individual tracks at Abbey Road; here he is breaking it down. Truly a band firing on all cylinders during this time, the height of their early period.
Yep
One of the measures of a great song is relatability. This one’s got it in spades.
Taste My Burnin’ Love
Thank you. Thank you very much.
Time For A Xmas Classic
Thanks to Reinfield for exposing me to this Paddy Roberts holiday chestnut a few years ago.
Nearly 60 years on, still as true today as the day it was written.
A Better Song
Since I posted an annoying song, here’s a good one. A women’s prison riot, two-gun Mathilde, and a, um, suggestive arrival of State Troopers. What, I ask, is not to love here?
Damn It Janet
The video won’t embed (SO ANNOYING), but this is a pretty cool little time capsule moment.
To my knowledge this is the only full interview that Tim Curry gave about his part in the Rocky Horror Picture Show. Recorded during the week that the film was released in 1975, he talks about his roll in the film and whether or not he would play the part again! The Interviewer is Mark Caldwell and the Interview Director is Colin Grimshaw. Clips were provided by Fox-Rank. Fox has (June 2012) reviewed and released any copyright claim on the film footage appearing in this video. The interview was shot in black and white (the film is in colour)!
I always forget how much ass this soundtrack kicks. Mark and I were in a college cover band that played “Sweet Transvestite.”
