02.11.08 by Widge @ 2:15 am An excellent performance of Tom Lehrer's "I Got It From Agnes" from Parkinson in 1980. The best part of this for me, apart from the song being funny no matter how many times you've heard it, is that he seems to be having a blast. Another after the break because I just can't help it.

01.21.08 by Widge @ 5:11 am  While it amuses us that somebody (in this case, Jason Norman) created a Jonathan Coulton paper doll that you can dress up like the squid from "I Crush Everything" and the Evil MechaSanta from "Chiron Beta Prime," was it really necessary to create as well a leather muscleman outfit? I mean, Jason, come on, you gave the Santa spiky nipples! Three out of the four ways paper doll Coulton can be dressed...involve nipples! This makes you the Joel Schumacher of paper dolls!

12.27.07 by Widge @ 6:43 am Apparently much has been made of a reportedly fake news story that the RIAA put together to send out to news stations in the hopes that they would run it like actual news. Silly people, like news stations run "actual news" these days anyway. Regardless, we'd just like to point out that when it comes to anti-piracy adverts, we'd be much more willing to listen to Jimmy Carr: Direct link for the feedreaders. That comes off of the new Jimmy Carr Comedian DVD. Sadly, only available on Region 2 DVD. Categorized as: Music

12.20.07 by Widge @ 7:48 am Remember how in the original Re-Animator it seems that Dean Halsey, after being brought back to life, is in incredible pain? In fact, all the re-animated dead with the exception of you-know-who, the Headless Perv, seem to be tormented beyond belief. The reason is finally revealed: hell is having this song stuck in your head. Categorized as: Music

Make sure you wear headphones since this is NSFW. But I just had to share. Categorized as: Music

12.03.07 by ScottC @ 9:42 pm  Film: Features:
Released by: Hip-O Records. My Advice: Don't Bother. Okay, you'll forgive me for this being a short review, but seriously: there are only five music videos on this disc and no extra features. I checked and I found all these videos freely available on YouTube. So, if you want to relive the days when (all together now) MTV used to play music videos, I'd just hit YouTube or some similar service. The only special feature is that the music is in PCM, a higher bandwidth digital audio format. Or something. So unless you are a serious audiophile and need to hear The Buggles' "Video Killed the Radio Star" in all its full richness, I wouldn't bother. Categorized as: Music and Reviews

11.24.07 by Widge @ 9:55 pm This classic song of modern love by Tom Lehrer reminds me of my favorite joke ever: Sadist and a masochist are walking down the street. Masochist says, "Hurt me! Hurt me!" Sadist says, "No." Categorized as: Music

11.19.07 by Widge @ 7:00 am Okay. The string of covers of Gnarls Barkley's "Crazy" can stop now. Not only has the song been performed on the theremin, it has now been performed on the theremin by robots. I think it's gone as far as it can. Or at least as far as it should go.

10.10.07 by Widge @ 12:54 am Tom Waits once said: "The large print giveth and the small print taketh away." Never has that been more apparent than in this four-minute explanation by Mark Volman and Howard Kaylan of the band The Turtles and their struggles with management over the years. The best you can say is that at least they seem to have a good sense of humor. As always, more background info can be found at Mark Evanier's place, which is where we found this.

09.22.07 by Widge @ 2:16 pm You know, I was fine watching this. Not a big fan of the song and I think I like the previous production number we posted better. Then the puppet kicked in. And then I started hearing this strange howling noise. It took me a minute to figure out that I was the source of that noise. Although, goddamn, it's funny watching Looney Bird bang his head.
