Well done.

This Youtube video featuring various Bush soundbytes arranged to mimic "It's The End of the World" is the most hysterical thing I have seen all day. Watch it.

Superjail. OMFG.

The most horrifying thing I have ever witnessed on television. I love it.
Apparently Adult Swim has picked this show up for a full season next year.

At once surreal and deeply disturbing. And somehow completely wonderful.

Awesome opening sequence as well, with a robot flying over a surreal and hellish landscape to 10cc's "Rubber Bullets".

Fucking rock, Jailbot.

Fan Made Radiohead Video: All I Need vs. Microcosmos



I watched this on Gvs.B and got a little misty. Which is why I'm posting it here. Enjoy.

Advance Screening of No Country for Old Men

I was invited to an advanced screening of No Country for Old Men, the new Cohen brothers film based on the novel by Cormac McCarthy, and I have to say I was pretty impressed with the film. And by pretty impressed, I mean it was fucking awesome. I loved the slow, panning desert cinematography, the spare and realistic dialog, the dry humor all. Perhaps the strongest element in the film, however, was the absolutely terrifying main antagonist, Anton Chigurh, wielding a silenced shotgun (?) and a penetrating captive bolt cattle stunner.

Best movie i've seen in a while. I'd write a full review, but screw that. Just go see it.

"Call it... Friendo."



4.5/5.0 Highly Recommended.

Think about it. A vicious homicidal psychopath who performs the coup dé grace with THIS. The ultimate badass indeed.

Firesign Theater



If you were wondering what the title of this blog meant, it's an oblique reference to a skit done by the Firesign theater, who were responsible for some of the greatest and most hysterical spoken word albums of the last century. Check out these clips for a sample of their work.

MP3 clip from All Hail Marx and Lennon

MP3 clip from Don't Crush That Dwarf, Hand Me the Pliars

MP3 clip from I think We're All Bozos on this Bus

I own all three of these albums (plus two more), and I reccomend each one. They are incredible, especially 'Don't Crush that Dwarf" (both Rolling Stone and All Music give this record 5/5 Stars.)

All Music Guide Bio:
By fusing the high-concept comic vision of Stan Freberg with the expansive studio experimentation of the Beatles, the Firesign Theatre singlehandedly dragged the comedy album into the psychedelic era. Creating densely layered montages of improvisational routines, overheard dialogue, media manipulation, commercial parodies and sound effects, the four-man troupe devised a hallucinatory brand of surrealist comic performance and Joycean satire laced with puns, metaphors and obscure literary allusions which redefined the very concept of recorded comedy.

Lucy, Daughter Of The Devil

Adult Swim is finally producing episodes for Lucy, Daughter Of The Devil, a sendup of such films as the Excorcist, Angel Heart, and Rosemary's Baby. Featuring the voice talent of the always great H. Jon Benjamin as The Devil himself.

At once extremely disturbing, absurd, and completely hilarious.



New episodes are available weekly at adultswim.com
