Chickens are Good People

Thursday, April 10th, 2008

I don’t have anything incisive to say about the above video, other than that I love George Carlin. The more I listen to him, the more I think he’s on my side most of the time. I wish I’d been a bit older when his short-lived sitcom was on TV. As it is, all I […]

She’s Fucking a Dead Horse

Wednesday, April 2nd, 2008

I realize the “I’m Fucking Matt Damon” bit has become the joke that wouldn’t die, but the particular episode in this ongoing gag has some relevance to a post I just made at one of the other blogs I contribute to, about a New York Times article discussing the way that online word of mouth […]

I’m fucking Sarah Silverman

Monday, February 25th, 2008

I think this video works because it plays with the slippage between the homosocial and the homosexual. Also, it’s almost painfully funny.
The video, “I’m Fucking Ben Affleck” is a response to the “I’m Fucking Matt Damon” video that Sarah Silverman and Matt Damon did. In the response video, Jimmy Kimmel says the video is […]

You can ride my tail anytime

Wednesday, October 17th, 2007

In which Quentin Tarantino argues that Top Gun is a subversive queer film. I’ll buy it. Almost. Also, I’ve seen Tarantino introduce films a couple of times, and I have to say, this is roughly the tone and level of frenetic gesture that he uses to describe almost all movies. It’s kind of infectious. In […]

Above all things, I wish you love

Wednesday, September 26th, 2007

My friend Melanie, alerted to my love of Dolly Parton, pointed me to the above video of Beth Ditto covering Dolly Parton while dressed as Dolly Parton. The video is pretty cute, particularly as Ditto gets the crowd singing along with her. Also, I forget that homegirl can actually sing pretty decently, and the clip […]

I might like you better if we slept together

Thursday, August 30th, 2007

Someone recently pointed me to the above Romeo Void video, featuring Debora Iyall, who reminds me quite a bit of Poly Styrene of X-Ray Spex, in part because she’s in your face fat, and in part because hey, her band has a saxophone in it. Iyall is a Cowlitz Indian, which is a rarity in […]

Where a kid can be a kid

Tuesday, August 28th, 2007

YouTube user christhrash appears to own his very own Chuck E. Cheese animatronic display, which he has in his home where he uses it to put together totally disturbing videos for popular songs. The above, “Pop Lock and Drop It” is probably my favorite, though others, like his version of “Hey there Delila” are interesting […]

My name is Glenn, and this is my book collection

Sunday, August 5th, 2007

So, about 5 years ago at the Aurora Picture Show, I had the good fortune of seeing a curated screening of heavy metal-related movies, including the infamous Heavy Metal Parking Lot and the magical clip above, which shows Danzig talking about his book collection. Thanks to Youtube, I can now watch this gem over and […]

Fat Bottom Girls

Tuesday, July 17th, 2007

Aside from the “big girls” being featured for the first 2/3 of the above video being disproportionately white, this video is pretty charming. The song is (shock) “Big Girls” and the artist is Mika. I’m sure it will join the ranks of “Baby Got Back” and “Fat Bottom Girls.”

Johnny Are You Queer?

Tuesday, May 15th, 2007

You may be getting the impression that all I do with my free time is surf YouTube looking for videos. That would not be entirely incorrect, though I also, you know, download music and watch actual videos on my actual DVD player. Anyhow, the above is a well-executed bit of slash video featuring Jonathan Rhys […]
