Lego Album Covers

A little heavy on the Beatles, but adorable nonetheless. I have a lot of Legos around but not much ambition.

Emmett Otter Bound for the Stage and Muppets Etc.

I'm not sure how a live action otter puppet musical is really going to work, but Paul Williams is involved. I've yet to hear his Happy Days musical. That Muppet Central site is pretty cool, the news about the Sarah Marshall guy writing the next Muppet Movie is pretty interesting. For further Muppet information, get lost in the Muppet Wiki. Finally, we have The Muppet Show Season 3 in stock. The first two are great of course, but it gets really super awesome with this one. I've just started disc 2 but there's already a few standouts: Gilda Radner paired with a giant carrot doing songs from Pirates of Penzance, Alice Cooper's "School's Out" with giant monster choreography, and Loretta Lynn's appearance taking place in a train station instead of the usual theatre.

Why no child is safe from the sinister cult of emo

Wow, I thought this sort of media idiocy was rampant only in the US. I actually went to a My Chemical Romance concert and didn't even want to kill myself. Hannah Montana is more likely to cause that.

Chinese Democracy When?

What could be better than listening to the LONG AWAITED Guns N'Roses album Chinese Democracy this year? Enjoying an ice cold Dr. Pepper with it, that's what!

I vote for some Manlove

"It's important to have a congressman that understands our area."

Wow!

Stephin Merritt only wears Brown.

I knew his albums as of late were all pretty single minded, but I had no idea it also applied to his fashion sense. Read more about it here.

I get David Gray, but Raspberry Beret?

From Mother Jones:

Garfield Minus Garfield

I used to enjoy Garfield back in the early 80s. Remember his "roommate" Lyman? What happened to that guy? Gay lover scorned? Jon killed him? Odie ate his toes off? Anyhoot, Garfield sucks now. Get rid of Garfield though, and it immediately improves!!
