My Little Steve Albini

A wildlife refuge in Washington hired a bullfrog catcher because the invasive bullfrogs are threatening an Oregon spotted frog or whatever but THE POINT IS I can't stop laughing at the picture of him they chose to put on Facebook. That man has two armfuls of Kermits. He is a Muppet villain.

You left out Common rapping about yeti genocide

FULL HOUSE treated a guy obsessed with Elvis in the ‘90s as a dangerous rebel

Now is the winter of our discount tents, made a glorious savings summer by this son of York’s overstock, here at Rick Crookback’s Camping Warehouse! We’ve drowned high prices in a butt of malmsey! You won’t be able to find where we buried our overhead!

answers to Disc & Music Echo, Aug 1969: "What question would you most like to ask God?" Pete Townshend: "Who am I?" Scott Walker: "Why? That's all." Andy Fairweather-Low: "I wouldn't even know where to start. I'd probably end up asking if He liked the Rolling Stones."

This is such a stupid thing, but also, why don’t his underlings just order the same shoe in the right size and pass it off as the ones they got?

Congrats on your new job at The Atlantic, manufacturing consent!

Heeeey, Stwongbad? Guess hwat? I’m in a jazz twio!
“Jeez, Homestar, stop it with the be bops and the post-bops. If there’s no squeedlies, I’m not listening!”

Deer rapture

Watched TRASH OF THE TITANS last night and that episode is a pretty good prediction of our current era. “Can’t someone else do it?” Indeed!

musician Gary Numan, born March 8, 1958, aged 68

actor Gary Oldman, born March 21, 1958, aged 67

Happy Gary Retrograde everyone!

The next two weeks are the only two weeks out of the year when Gary Numan is older than Gary Oldman

OVERDRAWN AT THE MEMORY BANK (1984)

From the opposite angle, finding out that someone wrote a classical Greek tragedy about Moses drives home how interesting cultural exchange could be. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ezekiel....

Sure would suck to exist on the physical plane right now…
Wait a minute!

Fat Mike has his own Banks & Steelz now? open.spotify.com/album/747FAM...

I think there’s a hilarious lack of dialogue between the depiction of ancient civilizations in your standard high school history class and in your standard church.

Found out today that the King in the Book of Esther is supposed to be the same Xerxes as invaded Greece, which makes for funny dissonance for nerdy kids who studied the classics.

Explains why it’s the one movie where nothing bad happens to him!

Women in Jazz - Stanley Turrentine

Damn it, Paramount!

FOR A FEW DRACULAS MORE... the lead character of the Virginian crosses paths with Quincy Morris as it emerges they both have competing reasons for getting rid of Dracula.

The whole thing spins out into my Dracula Western cycle:
MY DARLING CARMILLA
DJANGO, IF YOU LIVE... STAKE DRACULA!
SABATA IS HERE... PREPARE A COFFIN FOR A VAMPIRE!
BILLY THE KID, PRISONER OF FRANKENSTEIN
MY NAME IS NOSFERATU
SHANGHAI JOE AND NAVAJO JOE VS. DRACULA

Conner O’Malley needs to make a JOE DIRT

Funny imagining alternate reality Bowie writing for the Walker Brothers and them doing “Space Oddity” or “Life on Mars?”

Crazy to remember Scott Walker (the singer) hosted a weekly TV show. Imagine if Kelly Clarkson quit her daytime talk show to write songs about US imperialism and do albums influenced by Stockhausen.

Can you imagine going to see the Walker Brothers and these acts on the same bill?
