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 [...]

Coolest Shit Ever: The Kinks. They are a zillion times better than you think.
17 Jan, 2010 in Coolest Shit Ever, fnord, musicI 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 [...]
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. [...]
Coolest Shit Ever: Led Zeppelin Playing Going Down South and Black Country Woman Live 6/27/77
21 Dec, 2009 in Jimmy Page, Led Zeppelin, Uncategorized, fnord, musicIt’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 [...]
Coolest Shit Ever: The Known Universe In Six Minutes
19 Dec, 2009 in Coolest Shit Ever, fnord, wisdomKnock 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 [...]
Funniest Shit Ever: Show Me Your Genitals By Jon Lajoie
22 Oct, 2009 in fnord, funniest shit ever, humorThis, 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 [...]

9 Sep, 2009 in Coolest Shit Ever, Uncategorized, fnord, musicBaby, don’t you drive around with Dr. Bernice.

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 [...]
Cool Beans! The Alloy Orchestra Scored the Music for A New Cartoon, Zoot Rumpus.
8 Sep, 2009 in fnord, humor, musicThis is pretty cool, Youdopia. My cousin, Terry Donahue (the fella on the left) and his band, the Alloy Orchestra, have written and performed the music to a new cartoon. They usually score new music for old silent films, and this is something new for them. The ‘toon is called Zoot Rumpus, and it’s as [...]
Coolest Shit Ever: Rod Stewart Joins Jeff Beck Onstage At LA Club
23 Apr, 2009 in Coolest Shit Ever, fnord, musicHello, Youdopia. How’s it going? In light of the recent Jeff Beck Hall of Fame post, featuring Mr Jimmy Page, I thought it apropo to post this video of a spectacular reunion. On April 21, 2009 Jeff Beck was performing a gig, and Rod Stewart came out to sing with him. This is spectacular because [...]
Television Sux Writes About Equal Rights And Sean Penn’s Acceptance Speech for Milk
25 Mar, 2009 in fnord, sadhana and dharma, wisdomMy dear Youdopians, this is a cross post from my dear friend, whom I’ve know for thirty years. Television Sux is his blog, and this is a post from it.
I have been wanting to post this for some time. Now here it is.
“Thank you, you commie, homo-loving sons-of-guns. I did not expect this,” Penn joked [...]
Craziest Shit Ever: One Stupid Post Skewed My Traffic Forever. Amy Winehouse, You Done Me Wrong
10 Mar, 2009 in craziest shit ever, crazy search terms, fnord, humor, wisdomHello, Youdopia. Some time ago I wrote a post about the mammaries (or their terminus) of one Winehouse comma Amy. That one post has skewed my traffic to such a point that people searching “Celebrity Nipples” are 90% of my traffic. The very very sad thing is, that I went through 28 pages of search [...]
My Humps As Intrepreted By Miss Alanis Morissette. It’s pretty funny.
8 Mar, 2009 in fnord, humor, musicYoudopia, I may be the last person in the world to see this. It’s happened before. I just stopped saying, Fershizzil my nizzel, so… excuse me if you’ve seen this. It’s Alanis Morissette covering the great Fergie torch song, “My Humps”. It’s funny, and too long….. like me.
It’s been awhile. I’m crazy busy all the time. Work is great, but it is all consuming. In the interest of not letting Youdopia die on the vine, I give you a LOLcat.

Funniest Shit Ever: John Cleese Explains Neuroscience And The Genetics Of Belief
16 Dec, 2008 in fnord, funniest shit ever, humorHi Youdopia. I’ve been busy, but I came across this hilarious video from John Cleese, in which he explains the God gene. Oh, it’s delightful to see such erudite humor in this fart filled world. Good stuff. I hope you’re all doing well. All things are good here. Mom’s on the roof. I think that [...]
Craziest Shit Ever: The World’s Oldest (known) Lolcat Photograph.
1 Dec, 2008 in craziest shit ever, fnord, humor, lolcatsmore animals
You, my fair youdopians, are bearing witness to what may be the birth of a meme. This image is purported (by those purporters who pretend to purport) to be the world’s first lolcat. It’s from 1905, and was found in a Seattle antique store. Over 100 years of lols. Yes, Virginia, you can haz [...]
John Paul Jones Talks About Led Zeppelin Tour With/Without Robert Plant
27 Oct, 2008 in Coolest Shit Ever, Jimmy Page, Led Zeppelin, fnord, musicYoudopians, I love John Paul Jones! He had a Q&A at a guitar clinic recently, and this is what he had to say about a tour with Jimmy Page, and Jason Bonham. Robert Plant? Probably not. I would love to see the boys play again. They hit it out of the park at [...]
I awoke this morning to find this in my inbox. A friend of mine had the foresight to determine that I would enjoy this. She was correct, youdopians. It is a very humorous video about kitties. They’re not lolcats, but actual motion pictures with a beginning, middle, and end. It’s very clever, and has [...]

It was found during a marine archaeology dig in Alexandria, Egypt. The cup, although they call it a bowl, so let’s go with “bowl” … even though it’s a [...]
I wish I had a cleaner copy of this image, youdopians. From what I can read, it’s pretty funny. I totally forgot from where I found this. If anyone knows, please let me know. I want to credit the site, and the original image maker (good luck, I know).
Busy as a beaver still. Money starting [...]
