No matter how joyous of a day, no Sith Lord would be caught dead singing the classic Happy Birthday song. As a … Continue reading Happy Birthday Darth Vader! – Imperial March in a Major Key
I've watched this video at least 20 times. Not sure why I haven't shared it here yet. Adult Swim brings us Too Many Cooks, a bizarre trip through the world of family oriented TV intro sequences of the 90's. I suspect this is what it's like to have an existential crisis at the peak of … Continue reading Too Many Cooks – Intronitus is Contagious!
The best way to explain this adventure of a video is to let you read the intro lyrics: In a universe that's infinite like many theorize ours is; there are parallel worlds where every possibility lives.

If there's two things in this world I love enough to offer my firstborn, that would be food and then music. In that order. A picture like the one above would have offended me a few months ago before I started expanding my culinary tastes beyond eating steak for every meal.

I found out about Bo Burnham years ago when I was in the break room at work and his stand-up was on whatever channel was already playing.

He's like the comedy version of Justin Bieber, who also got … Continue reading Bo Burnham’s Pop Satire Scares Me
John Atkinson, over at Wrong Hands, has a distinct cartoon style. Occasionally he touches on the music industry and it's always hilarious. Check out this one called the Anatomy of Songs. If I could draw, I'd add one about Psychedelic Progressive Rock. It'd go something like: 0:00 - The Soul Mechanized Unicorn Messiahs An Analogy Concerning … Continue reading The Anatomy of Songs
