Watching that sequence, a couple of things came to [...]

The Star Wars Holiday Special

So Bad, Even George Lucas Wants Nothing to Do With It!
Even as an eleven-year-old back in 1978, I knew as soon as the voice-over went…

with special guest stars…Beatrice Arthur! Art Carney! Diahann Carroll! The Jefferson Starship! Harvey Korman!

The Flaming Lips Cover “Bohemian Rhapsody”

It’s going to confirm my old fartdom, but I’ll admit it anyway: I’m old enough to remember the days when Queen’s Bohemian Rhapsody came out and got played on Top 40 radio. Hence it warms my heart every time the song goes through a revival, whether via Wayne’s World, or more recently, by way of [...]

The Office Accordion

My original accordion, a Titano student model, has been through a lot, from the streets of Accordion City to Burning Man to saving my butt from a mugging in Prague (see this story for details). In spite of a few broken chord buttons, some missing key tops and a slight air leak, I can still [...]

Maria, in a comment, asked:

The scene is from the episode [...]

“Thank You, Mask Man!”

Way, way back — I’m talking about twenty years ago — my friend Yann and I decided to go catch one of Reg Hartt’s Sex and Violence Cartoon Festival shows. For those of you who aren’t from around Accordion City, Reg is one of the city’s better-known eccentrics — he’s a film and cartoon buff [...]

“Wrong Ball, Coach”

It’s a cheap trick play that should’ve been disqualified by the referee, but it’s still amusing to watch:

Christopher Walken Roasts a Chicken and Pears

Over at the cooking video website Im Cooked, there’s a great video of none other that Christopher Walken showing his technique for roasting a whole chicken with some pears. Somebody get this man a show on the Food Network!

The “120 Minutes” Tumblelog

In case you needed yet another internet distraction, allow me to point you to the 120 Minutes tumblelog – that’s a weblog for very short entries — that features a sizable collection of videos from MTV’s alt-rock video show, 120 Minutes during its heyday (the early 90’s).
Here are five videos featured in the [...]
