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.
I’m In x 2
These both look excellent. August 16 for Alien: Romulus and July 26 for Deadpool & Wolverine. Word on the street is that D&W is going to get Disney and Marvel back on track. Not even sure I want that, but it looks fun.
Zap!
Behold the greatest classical lp cover of all time.
How Much For The Whole Collection?
This is the same guy who did the Clockwork Orange location tour I posted not too long ago. I’m slightly obsessed with his channel at the moment.
Spocktacular
The dancing meets the high standards of the song.
I’ve Got A Bad Feeling About This
Never made it more than about three minutes whenever I try to watch the infamous holiday special. This looks promising, though!
New Wes Anderson
I like most of Wes Anderson’s films. They are quirky for sure, and not for everyone. I like his color palette, and symmetry. The script is usually pretty odd, but sometimes funny. This new one has another ensemble cast, but based on this trailer, I think it might be a miss. That being said, I don’t think any of his trailers make the films look great…
Any of you bastards fans of Wes Anderson?
Aliens!
In his recent biograpy, Living on a Thin Line, Dave Davies reports that aliens re-routed his sexual energy:
The 75-year-old rock star believes his mind was overtaken by aliens in 1982, when on tour in the US, and Dave claims they “blocked any sensation down there.”
He explained: “They told me I must not have sex and, although I was able to walk normally, my groin and pelvis suddenly became numbed, like they’d blocked any sensation down there.
“The reason being, they told me, was they wanted to transmute my sexual energy to a higher vibrational level.”
Dave was preparing to play a gig in Virginia when “things got weird very quickly.”
The guitarist recalled feeling “oddly disembodied.”
“I couldn’t understand why I was feeling so peculiar. I didn’t feel physically ill. This was different.
Dave also remembers hearing voices in his own head.He said: “It was like my brain had flicked on a new psychic switch. After the initial jolt, I didn’t feel panicked or alarmed.
“These voices had a commanding presence, but were also non-threatening, calming even. My senses were overwhelmed.
“Where were these voices coming from? Were they floating close by? Or an alien force from many thousand miles away? I began to feel their presence.
“I could already hear them. Then I felt them physically and my nostrils were filled with different smells – again nothing unpleasant or sinister.
“In fact, the smells – of fresh flowers like jasmine and magnolia – had a fragrance so full I felt like I could have scooped them up with a spoon.”
Dave was with his lover Nancy Evans at the time, and he remembers being controlled by the “intelligences.”
He explained: “I’d entered into a telepathic exchange with mysterious beings. The intelligences, though, would only let me tell her what they wanted her to know.”
I’m going to need our resident Kinksologist to break this down,
but in the meantime enjoy some Kinks:
We Deserve This
Please Don’t Suck
Just kidding. It’s fine if you suck. Joel Edgerton is in this as Uncle Owen, and will periodically remind me that I really liked Green Knight. And maybe the Tatooine landscapes will make me think of some cool Dune stuff.
