Träd, Gräs, och Stenar

[Mind continues to blow]

I used to have that Bo Hansson disc, but I don't think I do anymore.

:(

Goat (again)

[Mind blows]

Praise the Lord!

Praise Bobby Gillespie! (Except for when he's performing in front of a Confederate flag)

Dresden files is a perfect example of cover art not matching the inside.

All of the covers have him wearing a hat... which he never wears in the book.

Complete stream of consciousness, no actual connection:

I must've watched the original John Carpenter flick Assault on Precinct 13 2 dozen times before I realized that, in the movie, the assault takes place in District 13, Precinct 7(? or something).

Isn't it named Guinevere? Except with h's and w's and y's?

Hmmm. That one is a big blank in my sensors. Must've been all that early nineties grunge drowning it out.

Btw, Peter LeMarc looks like a Scandinavian Frank Black to me...

Better than in Australia, apparently.

Oh, yeah, I forgot to mention that I'm re-re-reading Vance's Eyes of the Overworld, which I somehow accidently bought for my kindle when I thought I was just looking at editions. No matter. The wit and roguery shine through even after the 3rd or so reading!

I thought that one was the best of the four.

I read one of the Gord books years ago. I learned from the experience.

After Dance of Demons, I've got my eye on all the Mika the Wolf Nomad books by Rose Estes.

Be warned: Dance of Demons makes CED look like great literature in comparison.

Maybe I'll wait a day or two...

So, I was checking if there's anything good on TV tonight...

Only 57?!?

But, srly, I don't remember this one at all. 1992? Which album was that?

Some more vids from popular semi-hipster bands of yesteryear

Wilco--"Heavy Metal Drummer"

Belle & Sebastian--"I'm Waking Up To Us"

Clinic--"The Second Line"

I finished Come Endless Darkness. It, um, sucked big time. Looking forward to finally finishing off the Gord the Rogue books!

Article (no tunez) on the former David Jones

I HATE Golarion Goblins, hate hate hate hate them. They look like a cross between footballs and troll dolls, and I hate their random superstitiousness and their sort of weird "cute sadism." More to the point I hate that they seem to be sort of the world's mascots and more attention appears to be spent on them (a la We Be Goblins) than on other "savage races."

There, I feel better now.

Haters gonna hate.

Right, because the 80s didn't have

"cool", and "rad", and "cowabunga".

Language evolves. I'm sick and tired of grognards thinking that they are somehow supperior because they don't understand modern culture.

Not to detract from your point, but "cool" is as old as the saxophone playing of Lester Young (1930s) and "cowabunga" came from a children's television program from the fifities.

:(

Ray Manzarek at the piano telling tales (usually awe-struck ones of the sociopathic Jim Morrison's antisocial behavior) was one of rock's great storyteller acts.

Here he talks about Riders on the Storm

Here he rocks out on the Ed Sullivan Show

Here's a skit about the Doors from the Kids in the Hall

Bump.

I, too, am using mites as bad guys and I don't really understand prestidigitation.

Six mites caught in a cave by the party. What can they do with it?

Root Down (and Get It)

Valton Craigie, "By His Deeds," one of my all-time faves.

[bubble bubble bubble]

Also, Life Is Grand

"Both appeared to be staring straight into Graz'zt's own eyes."
--Our Lord and Master, but not a terribly good fiction writer, Come Endless Darkness

"The goblins wear armor and have weapons nearby, but they don't have shields (AC 15)."
--Carla Harker, Strange Bedfellows

Johnny Cash & Co.--"The Old Account Was Settled Long Ago"

"Tell 'em 'bout it, sister!"

Bikini Kill--"Carnival"

"I'll win that Motley Crue mirror, if it f%**ing kills me!"

Too Fast for Love

Also, "I Can't Live Without My Radio"

However, this clip is all that needs to be said about Everybody Loves Raymond.

Indeed. I haven't seen much of either show, really, but Everybody Loves Raymond seems much worse than Big Bang Theory.

In other news, earlier today I watched the episode where they play D&D with the girls. I thought, overall, in its portrayal of D&D playing was rather cute and even a little touching at the end.

But when Howard tried to force a clearly uncomfortable Amy and Sheldon into roleplaying hawt sexytime, I thought to myself, clearly, he needs to read more Paizo threads.

I thought most of the D&D stuff was pretty funny, but, overall, many of the show's jokes were pretty terrible. [Shrugs] It's prime time American network television. What do you want?

some funk for tuesday

Funk for Friday!

That Breakwater track was a funkin' revelation!

Chinatown A++.

DJ

Huh. I didn't realize there was a "DJ" video.

Here's Boys Keep Swinging to keep it company.

Comets on Fire were very good indeed, but they're from sunny California, not snowy Sweden.

Pink Floyd, "Time."

P.S. "The Wall" sucked, and it still does. DSotM is the shiznit.
P.P.S. The whole album.

That pretty much matches my approximation.

Dark Side is tough, though, if you have to spend any time listening to classic rock radio on a regular basis. My advice is: don't do it, and Dark Side will be awesome each and every time.

Also, [bubble bubble bubble].

Comets on Fire - Sour Smoke

I've got that album. It's pretty f%~#ing smoking.

Synergistic weirdiosity, I just put Blue Cathedral on my iPod for work, but I won't start linking it just quite yet.

Garkie! Wassup, my gob?!?

Roxy Music--"Love Is the Drug"

[spoiler]Full track, albeit with our hawt airline hostesses or eyepatches, here.

Rolling Stones--"Heartbreaker"

The Rapture--"House of Jealous Lovers"

Is that old skool now? Damn.

Older skool: Grandmaster Flash & The Furious Five - The Message

Grandmaster Melle Mel & The Furious Five - White Lines

I mean, this is '89...

And this is my favourite Public Enemy

Ah, good times!

Plenty of people were getting nostalgic by '98

So, now I'm listening to old hip-hop all day. Good call, Doodlebug.

All dope shiznit!!

But, for Monday Brunch:

Augustus Pablo--Dubbing in a Africa

What? That's not jazz enough for you?

Fine. Here's an article on Ron Carter.

Go find your own albums.

This band has infected my DNA as of late.

This was fun.

The first track, in particular, brought back memories.

Firestorm!!!

I asked my mother, who quite likes The Big Bang Theory, a series of questions.

"Why do you like the Big Bang Theory?" "Because it is funny."

"Who is your favorite character?" "Sheldon. He's so funny."

"Who is your least favorite character?" "Howard, because he's a pervert." (My mother doesn't share many of my Don Juan characteristics.)

"Is Penny a loser?" "No, she's a nice girl."

"Do you think it makes fun of nerds?" "Yes. So what? Seinfeld made fun of yuppies, All in the Family made fun of blue-collar Americans, Sanford and Son made fun of black garbage collectors. Who the hell are nerds that they can't be made fun of?"

(I may have edited her last answer)

Happy Mother's Day!

Sebo Ensemble

That shiznit is hawt!

Also, it should be, like, the background music playing in a boisterous Ustalavic tavern in a Carrion Crown campaign or something.

And the 'Sex and Drugs and Rock 'n' Roll' riff towards the end (ish)!*

Ooh! I've never looked into all of the Blockheads videos on youtube!

Soft Cell

Gloria Jones (who was in the car when Marc Bolan died? Or something?)

Also, IIRC, the Soft Cell extended 12" single version of "Tainted Love" morphed into Where Did Our Love Go?

The Dictator - Aladeen M*+~$~#&*%*!

Reminds me I've got to add that to my Netflix queue.

This one is probably pushing beyond the limit of what constitutes a cover: Thea Gilmore sings Sandy Denny - London

Sandy does Bob

(Pretty sure I already posted this one, but whatevs, it's awesome)

Is that old skool now? Damn.

I've got Speakerboxxx... on my iPod and keep listenng to it at work and it keeps blowing my mind that it's ten years old...

Anyway, after sharing greetings with Limey last night, I tried to link some John Lennon songs and kept getting booted off Paizo. I wonder if Yoko's legal team is watching even here...

Reading is so much more fun when you are inebriated.

Samnell, leave the customers alone.

Good evening, Limey.

और अब हिन्दी में !

I'm now having impure Agnetha and Anni-Frid based thoughts. And it's all Kajehase's fault.

That's pretty dope, too.

Curse you Anklebiter!

Guess this one's pretty poignant, considering it was written while both couples were breaking up.

[Leaves room to get more tissues]

The operatic shriek around 4:00 makes me blubber, every time.

Curse you Anklebiter!

The director of that video went on to win an Oscar, you know

I didn't, but this one is their best song, if you ask me.

[Weeps more]

Curse you Anklebiter!

Their best song, according to me

[Weeps]
