Thank the Metropator for NPR. I found this hilarious transcript… and accompanying audio recording, of LBJ ordering Haggar slacks from Mr. Haggar himself. Why is this the Funniest Shit Ever? Well, if you’re not familiar with our late president’s personality, reputation, or… churlishness. Youdopia, he makes me proud to be an American.
Let me just say [...]
Hi Youdopia. This isn’t anything earth shattering, just a clip of Andy Richter (a living example of Charlie Brown and the football… poor guy.) on Live with Regis and Kelly. He gets pretty candid (although very diplomatic) about the whole situation. You can feel his ire at the gig of a lifetime gone wrong. I [...]
There’s not much to say about this song, Youdopia, other than it’s one of the best songs ever performed (in my opnion). This song was recorded live in the studio, on one of the first eight track recorders, back in the late 1950’s. If you can hear the original with headphones, you’ll hear Ray slapping [...]
Boolah Boolah, Youdopia. Great song. Clapton is spending the Sept of his years playing with who he wants. He told Rolling Stone that he always felt like a dick (paraphrasing here) because he pretty much just bailed on Blind Faith, because of drugs/fame. That’s why Clapton went underground (kinda) and went with Derek and the [...]
There’s not that much to say, Youdopia. Either you like Monty Python or you don’t. This sketch is about ten minutes long, so if you don’t like Monty Python I suggest you go read Post Secret or something instead. No blame.
I haven’t watched Monty Python in years, but this sketch still makes me laugh. Nazis [...]
I’ve been listening to Stephan Hoeller lectures, as I go to sleep at night. This has given me a pretty good introduction to Hoeller’s brand of gnosticism. I have been assailed (in a way) by gnosticism for over 25 years.
I would buy occult books in my idiot teen years, and one of them was [...]
Hello, Youdopia. I came across this neato flipbook history of everything while perusing The Daily Grail. Good stuff there. This video is some guy’s art project. He got an A. Enjoy. I used to make flipbooks in 7th and 8th grade. Mostly Paratroopers and robots.
Howdy, Youdopia. I have a dram of wisdom for you Hemlock junkies. Robert Anton Wilson, he of the fnord, completely explains Quantum Mechanics. I can’t recall if I got this from my friend Brigid, or the other way around (probably got it from her) but it’s a nice little slice of clarity in a world [...]
I realized recently that I like the Kinks a great deal. You probably do too, if you think about all the songs of theirs you like. Then add the fifteen more that you knew, but didn’t didn’t know were by them, and then three more that
you’ve heard before in commercials (HP’s picture book commercial from [...]
Happy Birthday, Jimmy Page! Today is a National Holiday in Youdopia. None shall toil. Jimmy is 66 today. You may be surprised that I am a fan of Led Zeppelin, and Jimmy Page. It’s true. Jimmy has written/compiled a photographic autobiography which is being published by Genesis Publications. They are an exquisitely wonderful publisher. They [...]
Youdopia, I want to share one of my favorite songs with you. Mr. Bad Example by Warren Zevon. It is funny, frenetic and fantastic cheesy. The video is from an appearance on Letterman, as if that’s not obvious, but you can hear the original by clicking on the image above. Yes, I love easter eggs. [...]
It’s been awhile since I’ve done an obscure Led Zeppelin number. This one is a beaut. It’s from the final night of the legendary run at the LA Forum in 1977. I do not like the ‘77 tour, but I like the acoustic set from this tour, and I love this little blues ditty they [...]
Knock knock. Who’s There? Infinity. Infinity who? Infinity is pretty amazingly large. My dear Youdopia, one of the blogs I read daily, is The Daily Grail. This little video which is a zippity doo dah tour from Tibet to the edge of the cosmic horizon and back, was posted there. I just nicked it and [...]
Good day, Youdopia. It has been awhile. I am a very busy boy, and you know happened to Jack with all work and no play. He made Homer something something.
I want you to look at Skullduggery. It is an online animated series created by an old friend, and next door neighbor. We aren’t in touch [...]
What? You don’t know me. I’ve had this goddamn song in my head for six weeks. It’s strained my marriage and made the cats look at me funny. It’s viral. Achoo.Yes, that’s Conway Twitty. Not a word.
I have fallen in love with this song, Youdopia. I know it’s like a year old, but I’m in my Forties. I’m not on the bleeding edge anymore. This is a rap about the function of the Large Hadron Collider (LHC). That’s the big doughnut made by atheists in Switzerland to bring Satan back to [...]
This, is (to me) the Funniest Shit Ever. Hands down. Some of you may find it slightly misogynistic, but it’s really a harangue against rap music, so lighten up, ladies. This was shown to me by my 15 year old dyghtyr, so it has cool cred. Jon Lajoie is a comedian with tons of [...]
I wanted to share these George Harrison videos with you, Youdopia. Why? Because I like you. You got a pretty mouth. I’m tired, and grumpy, so I’m not going to say much, other than Prince kicks ass on My Guitar Gently Weeps, which is at the George Harrison Memorial show. I kind of thought it [...]
For some reason I can’t save images to my disk, so.. sorry, Youdopia, we’re gonna have to go low fi with this. It is from Sept. 11, 2009, and it’s former Soundgarden and Audioslave singer Chris Cornell preforming Imagine. It’s really well done, and his voice is beautiful I hope you enjoy this lovely [...]
Baby, don’t you drive around with Dr. Bernice.
That Ain’t a real Cadillac.
It’s a Delta 88 spraypainted black
With fake leather seats from Juarez
–Dr Bernice
I love David Lowery, oh my fair Youdopia. He’s the creative voice behind Camper Van Beethoven and Cracker. I found a lovely concert from 1992 on Dime A Dozen, and it made me [...]
