And The Nominees Are…

The 2019 Rock and Roll Hall of Fame nominees just came out. Makerbot will be happy to know that Devo made the list for the first time. Radiohead, The Cure, Kraftwerk, LL Cool J, Janet Jackson, Rage Against the Machine, and several others made the list as well. I was a little surprised to see John Prine’s name on there. Here’s more information and all the people that made the list  

You can vote for your favorites here.

Only one vote per day though.

What say ye bastards? Who do you think gets in, and does it even matter….

I Was Reminded Of This The Other Day

Very funny, and very much NSFW.

From Our RoboCop Remake, a project undertaken by a group of filmmakers pissed off about the 2014 RoboCop remake …

Our RoboCop Remake is a crowd-sourced feature based on the 1987 Paul Verhoeven movie. Pooling our resources through various filmmaking channels (including Channel 101) we are 50 filmmakers (amateur and professional) from Los Angeles and New York who have split the original RoboCop into individual chunks, remaking the movie ourselves. Not necessarily a shot-for-shot remake, but a scene-for-scene recreation. We’re big fans of the original RoboCop, and as filmmakers and film fans kinda rolling our eyes at the Hollywood remake machine, we’ve elected to do this remake thing our own way.

Our RoboCop Remake premiered in Los Angeles on January 26th 2014 and New York on February 5th. On February 6th, it was released online.

Because if anyone is going to ruin RoboCop, it’s us.

25 Years Of Conan

Coco’s been at it for a while.

I probably watched more Letterman (I’m an old, old man), but I know enough Conan to be dumbfounded that Triumph the Insult Comic Dog, Masturbating Bear, and Live via Satellite Famous Person Interview did not make the final cut.

18 Years Ago…

Radiohead ditched their guitars and released Kid A. So now it’s old enough to buy cigarettes and vote. They grow up so fast…

Quote Of The Day

“I want to set forth my Mathematical Theory of Line  Dance Complexity versus Intelligence, which states: ‘The complexity of a given line dance is inversely proportional to the average IQ of the people doing it.'”

From Dave Barry’s Book of Bad Songs

The Bishop

I love how he tries to rescue only priests.   At the end is a good poke at the BBC, who in 70’s-80’s had a fetish for earnest, depressing documentaries.  Maybe they still do, I haven’t been over there in a while.
