Grand Guignol

"Grand Guignol" is a hard rock anthem about the people who just have to make a big deal out of everything.Le Theatre du Grand-Guignol was where Parisians used to go to get shocked. They specialized in naturalistic horror plays that were over-dramatized, ridiculous, and over the top. It now comes to mean any gruesome or gory drama or event. We all know at least one person who loves to turn every night into drama night, and this song is for them.You can download the MP4 of the video right here an...

Best Wikipedia Error Ever

I was just thinking the other day that I didn't remember the last time I read something completely bonkers on Wikipedia. Until today.I watched this video and then I didn't remember Malibu very well, so I looked up his entry on Wikipedia.Here's my favorite part: In addition, McBee (ie, Malibu) has trained in karate at the Billy Blanks World Karate Studio, and hand-to-hand combat and swordsmanship with Anthony DeLongis. He has been known to characterize his time at the Massachuseets Institute of ...

Cold Slither

Up until an hour ago, I never thought I would see what might be the greatest episode of GI Joe ever. I heard the title song of the episode in a dream last night and this morning I randomly Googled it and there it was. The episode in its entirety on youTube. Oh frabjous day!Cobra, you see, ran out of money and needed to find a way to pay back their creditors, so Zartan and The Dreadnoks form a band called Cold Slither and they use subliminal messages to get the song to Number One.However, as you ...

Beatle Bob Gets His Own Documentary!

We met Beatle Bob at our first show in St. Louis at The Way Out Club a few years ago and he was one of my favorite characters. Mop-topped, sunglassed (at night), and generally ridiculous, he holds the record for seeing the most concerts ever. His Wikipedia entry states that "he's seen a live show every night since Christmas 1996" Either way, I found him fascinating and someone else must have too, because he's the subject of a new documentary.Here's a few photos of the man in action and here's a ...

Best iPhone games yet

I'm not a huge mobile gamer (except I'm a little addicted to Connect Four), but I just downloaded a couple of awesome iPhone games that I think are a couple of the best ones I've played yet and a great value for a buck.First, is Light Bike. It's the Tron Light Bike race on your iPhone. Ummm... if that's not enough to sell you, I don't know what is. The single-player version is free, but the one dollar version lets you race other iPhones on your Wi-Fi network (awesome). There's a two-player versi...

Neanderthal "Music"

The National Museum of Wales has commissioned a composer to envision and recreate the music of Neanderthal Man to accompany a new exhibit on early humans (and our hairier cousins) and it sounds awesome. Of course, you can click this link to hear what we thought Neanderthals used to "stone" to [sic].Music plays such a weird role in today's society. Between advertising, radio, background music at the mall, videos (or lack thereof) and high-falutin' orchestras, it's everywhere, all the time equally...

Almost Proof That Martians Are Real (But They're Tiny and Harmless)

“Methane is a product of biology. For methane to be in Mars’ atmosphere, there has to be a replenishable source.“The most obvious source of methane is organisms. So if you find methane in an atmosphere, you can suspect there is life.“It’s not proof, but it makes it worth a much closer look.”Just a heads-up for the coolest news on this frigid day.Until I heard this song, I always thought that Mr. Stefani was making a comment on capitalism with "Mickey Mouse has grown up a cow" in "Eve...
