I’m excited about this one. It’s fun living through this new pinball golden age.
Funny Old Bag
I snort laughed several times at this. My new favorite comedian.
A “Modern Spiritual”
No comment, just putting it out there.
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!
A.V. Undercover Is Back!
And so is GWAR. They’ve done Undercover eight times now, which must be a record. Below is my favorite AVU performance of theirs, Kansas’s “Carry On My Wayward Son.”
A.V. Undercover archives are up now too. Right here.

These Jokes Got Norm Fired
And he did them anyway.
