Pretty funny, but not creepy enough. I’d get much darker with it, and still get the girl.

A Truly Amazing Musician

A Drummer’s Drummer

This is a sad video, but one I’d not seen before. It was recently discovered and posted in the forums of my favorite Led Zeppelin site, Royal Orleans.

There’s not really any good footage of band members, although you can see a bunch of people file past the hearse, as Bonzo’s casket is being loaded. The service itself was said to be heart wrenching, with people wailing and sobbing, as one would expect.

John Bonham was only 32 when he died. That’s 13 years younger than I am now. It’s a tragedy to his young family, his poor widow, and his parents and siblings.

This footage pushes that point home to me, much more so than the “death of a rock god”

Add salsa or lime juice if you want. I don’t give a fuck.

Eat Like You Give A Fuck

ThugKitchen.com

I came across this on Tumblr, where I’m 3 times the age of the average user, yay. Thug Kitchen is a vegan recipe site that’s not all uppity and smug about being vegan. “Eat Like You Give A Fuck” is their motto. Love it.

The information is awesome, the recipes are hilarious, and if you want to keep your shit intact, son, you best listen. (see below about how lycopene helps prevent dick cancer. It’s the Coolest Shit Ever.

You ever get worried about dick cancer?

While Filming A Cooking Show

Craziest Thing Ever

I have a great deal of love for Ginger Baker. There’s a movie out about him, and apparently, he’s a super duper asshole, but I don’t care. I’m never going to meet him and it has no impact on my appreciation of his amazing drumming.

At some point in the early 1990′s, someone decided to film a cooking show called Rock n Roll Kitchen. To film the pilot they chose, incomprehensibly, Ginger Baker to be their rock star guest. It’s the craziest thing ever.

While the host is called aside for some notes from the director, someone walks up to Ginger and asks him for rolling papers. Rather than being taken aback, he asks if the young man will be rolling a joint, to which the young man answers in the affirmative. Then Ginger looks for his cigarette pack, in which (one assumes) he keeps his rolling papers.

It’s a short clip, it’s weird, and aside from the rolling papers bit, we find out that Ginger Baker knows how to say ‘halibut’ in Swedish. Enjoy.

Recently Discovered Video

Found At A Yard Sale

This really is the coolest thing ever.

Robert Anton Wilson, of whom I’ve written so many times he has a category on my blog, gave this talk somewhere 1988ish. It was recorded and distributed on VHS tape, presumably by the organization that held this get together, but never made it to the digital realm, at least publicly. The uploader of this unexpected gem bought the tape at a garage sale, and was good enough to convert and upload this wonderful talk.

For almost 2 hours (there’s some bullshit bookending the talk itself) Robert Anton Wilson, he of Masks of the Illuminati  and Prometheus Rising, speaks about the connections between the Vatican Bank, the CIA, and the illicit cocaine business. It’s absolutely fascinating. All your favorites are here. The Knights of Malta, International Banking, Nazis, the CIA, P2, Grand Orient Lodge, masonic murders, the mafia, and of course billions of 1970/80′s dollars in cocaine/heroin money.. all laundered through a network set up, and run, by the Vatican bank.

This is a treat and a half because until recently, no one knew it existed. So, enjoy!

Horrible Artwork. Great Album

Thom Yorke & Flea (and two others)

In A Band That Sounds Nothing Like Radiohead Or The Chili Peppers

My wife is a bit of a Radiohead fan. She’s particularly enamoured of Jonny Greenwood, but her love extends to Thom Yorke and his new band, Atoms For Peace.

I really love this song, Ingenue, and the video. I think it’s the coolest thing ever, and I hope you do as well.

Watch The Whole Show

RIP To A Great Talent

Y’all know I love me some Patrice O’Neal. I’ve posted his material before.  I fell in love with comedy of Patrice O’Neal watching him on the Comedy Central Roast of Charlie Sheen, and from then on, I was a fan.

This video is about a half hour long, and worth the time. Enjoy it. I think it’s the funniest thing ever.

I think it’s his posture. It conveys fatigue.

Seated Boxer by Lyssipus of Sikyon

Alexander The Great’s Personal Sculptor

I saw this on Pinterest and instantly was transfixed. No, not because I can see his dong, but thanks. The entire piece conveys weariness, rest, and also, readiness to go back for more.  His ear is even cauliflowered.

Lyssipus of Sikyon was a legendary sculptor from the 3rd Century, BCE. He is the guy who sculpted the four horses of Florence (stolen by Crusaders from the hippodrome in  Constantinople).  Read about him here. It’s the coolest thing ever.

If You’ve Ever Spent Time In The South

This Will Not Be Surprising At All

The liberal use of the n word is jawdropping.  The pastor of this lovely Southern church decided to reach out to “the kids” and connect with them through their Urban music. Ok, points for earnestness, but minus several million for execution. Still, the complete wrongness of it all makes it the funniest thing ever.

So we must all ask ourselves, is Jesus my nigga?

Go Home, Dog. You’re Drunk

This is just one of the myriad treasures you can see on my Tumblr, which has a thousand times more content, because it’s easy as fuck to use, and takes two seconds to post something.
