I Got What America Needs Right Here

Sometimes I'm a little stupid, maybe, a little slow in the head, so I'm wondering if you can help me get something straight....

Letterman and Howard Stern

I have no link for this and maybe there is none, however, you guys should try and find the interview Letterman had with Stern tonight (1/12/08). Ridiculously funny to me. Perhaps it is due to the fact that I am a couple of miller lights into the evening but whatever. If you don't like it... go fuck yourself.

The term 'hero' is tossed around lightly these days...

but it is comforting to know that there still exist some truly magnificent individuals.

Hilarious!!

Cloverfield Is a Goddamn Godzilla Movie

Was the monster in the film inspired by H. P. Lovecraft's Cthulhu?

"What really happened was that during Mission Impossible 3, J.J. took his son to Japan for the premiere. While they were there, they visited a toy store in Tokyo. They saw shelf after shelf, row after row, of Godzilla toys. Just this huge toy store filled with toys. The image was really striking to J.J. He said, “Look at this. This is like a national monster.” He started thinking, “You know, we need our own national monster.” Obviously King Kong is kind of a national monster but not really in that way. That’s a great movie and he’s a legendary figure in film lore, but it’s not really the same thing. So the way that Godzilla was sort of a metaphor for the time, and for that place, the idea of creating a new monster for this time and place came about. It’s an original monster, and a monster that was inspired, really, by Godzilla."


Fuck.

Want to download Radiohead's Scotch Mist?

Cool blogspot neighbor that uploads rare B-Sides and live performances...I didn't check too far into their library, but it looked decent.

Here's a link to Radiohead's Scotch Mist, which can be downloaded as one mp3 or split into several tracks. Oh and it includes those cool poems
