Ninja Turtle-izing my iPhone 5
So, I just got a shiny new iPhone 5 (I know, I never thought it would come to this, either) and it was looking rather naked, so my immediate goal was to transform it into the most Ninja Turtle-iest phone possible. Until they come out with real T-phones (and not...
According to your votes, Andy is the most worthless Goonie.
Welcome to February, the month you don't care about unless you're black, in a relationship, or live in New Orleans. (February can fuck off as far as I'm concerned, but GO RAVENS!) Since we're in a new month, I've officially closed my Goonies poll which asked, "Who...
You’ll wish ‘Space Stallions’ was a real Saturday morning cartoon, too.
Here's something super cool I've been meaning to share for a while that any lover of Saturday morning cartoons and 80's pop culture can appreciate: Space Stallions! As darkness is covering the multiverse, far away in the galaxy of the wild stallion, a spark of hope...
Something that pisses me the Freak off.
One of the greatest comedy specials I ever saw was John Leguizamo's Freak, which originally aired on HBO back in 1998. Part stand-up comedy, part autobiography, Leguizamo is brilliant as he recounts and reenacts all the character-building, intimate details of his...
The most ridiculous(ly awesome) pirate songs I know.
My first impulse after seeing this week's League assignment was "pirates" was to make a list of my Top 5 Favorite Pirates, but then I remembered I kinda already did that. It's not the most meaty or well thought-out of posts, but then again I threw it together in...
DJ Soul Presents the Fila x TMNT Mixtape
Here's what I'm jamming on today at work: Inspired by the sneaker collaboration between Fila and Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, [DJ Soul] teamed up with Nickelodeon and recorded a mix to remind people of the influence both brands have had in music and fashion since...
You are now entering The Busey Zone.
I learned three important facts about Gary Busey (a.k.a The Poor Man's Nick Nolte) today: 1. Gary Busey is still bat-shit crazy. 2. Gary Busey has a YouTube channel called "The Busey Zone." 3. Gary Busey wants to fuck an inner tube. If you only watch one thing on...
My favorite spaceman is the one who gave us MTV.
This week's League assignment was yet another single-word prompt: "spacemen." I'm late with my response this week (because Ni No Kuni happened) and a lot of my fellow Leaguers have already beaten me to some great topics, like E.T. and Astronaut Barbie (which I was...
I’m possibly the only person who remembered it’s Ya Kid K’s birthday today.
Happy Birthday, Ya Kid K! Almost 25 years later, you are still pumpin' up my jam. I have to admit, I thought you were a dude when I first saw you perform live on TV sometime back in 1989, before I knew what a lesbian was. Sorry about that. In fact, your gender was...
More about my obsession with keyboards & synthesizers…
This is kind of a tangent I started in my last post, which was also synthesizer-related, and it was getting pretty long, irrelevant (and probably boring!). So I thought I'd give it its own space. My obsession with synth music is pretty well-documented around here,...
This trippy synthesizer animation is totally mesmerizing me today.
To steal a line from Gin & Juice, Moog's got the cultivatin' music that be captivatin' me. This is essentially a glorified ad for the new Moog Sub Phatty synthesizer, but it's awesome nonetheless. And you don't even need to be on drugs to appreciate it. This is...
Listen to me fail at 80s TV Trivia! [UnderScoopFire Podcast #57]
Last week I was a guest on the UnderScoopFire podcast for the first (and quite possibly last!) edition of What's.. The.. SCOOP?!! -- the 80's TV Trivia game show hosted by Howie Decker's charismatic alter-ego, Dick Decker. I'm one of three lovely contestants, along...
