Driving Without Pants

One of the problems with Rays manager Joe Maddon is that he obviously has “his guys” and tends to overuse and defend them for no discernible reason. For instance, if you’ve never followed the Rays, you probably don’t know anything about Dan Wheeler, like the fact that his middle name is…

Apparently they have blocked Tumblr here at work. Needless to say, this will make Tumblogging difficult.

Yet Facebook is still available. The mouth-breathers get to whittle away the day watering each others’ lame-assed Farmville shit yet I can’t reblog a funny picture of a cat. No justice on this here world.

My personal highlights:

‎“‘She’s pretty cut up,’ said a performer who saw the violence at the “Gathering of the Juggalos” in rural Hardin County, Illinois. The witness asked not to be identified so that he does not anger the juggalos.”

and

“‘She took her top off and they got really violent,’ he said.”

Dear God No of the Day: The Sock Monkey Centipede from Third Half Studios.

For the person who has everything except the worst possible homage to the worst possible movie.

I like the little red threads representing the connected esophogeal tracts.

Oh wait…no I don’t.

A friend of mine made this, it’s really funny

Never trust a luck dragon when it’s in the big spoon.

The cover for Weezer’s upcoming album, which is appropriately titled Hurley. Maybe Weezer is just so, so, so, so far ahead of the game, like thousands of years beyond the rest of us. There must be some explanation for all the fucked decisions they’ve made in the past couple years.

Is this really the cover? Somehow I doubt it. One, because it looks like a regular pic someone made as a photoshop joke. Two, I heard it was called Hurley because they have a tie in with the Hurley brand.

If it is truly the album cover, it makes sense. One of the most hated bands by their old fans is using one of the most loveable characters in television history.

Let me save you the time, folks. It’s going to be one of the worst things you’ve ever fucking heard. You should know this by now from Weezer.

At least we still have the blue album and Pinkerton. I’m just waiting for Rivers to pull a George Lucas and even fuck those up.

ugghhh, how dare they.  I think the only way I’m coming back is if they bring back Matt Sharp.  Even then who knows if it’ll be enough to rekindle their long lost magic

Note to all old-time Weezer fans: Weezer is no longer making music for you.  They are making music for fans that have discovered them in the last ten years.  Fans of The Blue Album and Pinkerton would be best off just considering them a completely different band.

This Must Be The Place // David Byrne and Arcade Fire

One more AF-related post (and one which I’ve probably posted a billion times over, no less).

You know, I was going to light into David Byrne for being unwilling to perform with Talking Heads anymore but being perfectly willing to perform their songs with AF to bank some hipster cachet and continued relevance, but seeing him in this clip it suddenly occurs to me that he is no longer capable of delivering the energy in a  performance that fans of “Stop Making Sense” would expect.  He’d probably break a hip.

Back from a fairly epic week on the nothern shores of Lake Ontario.  Now if I could just find a way to lose the damned Canadian accent I seem to have picked up…

My brother Aniz and I have been laughing riotously over this clip. Do yourself a favor and watch from 2:15 to at least 2:30 or so. 

If my parents had taken me to this, I would have started doing drugs just to get even with them
