The Gravity Equation Sex-Fest

For some godforsaken reason I spent too much time already today watching youtube clips of O'Reilly and other insanity. I think that Paul Krugman & O'Reilly on tim Russert's show is one of the more painful things I've seen. O'Reilly and Colbert is like walking through that time-space rip they make in Contact. But, today, this took the cake as demonstrative po-mo redshift dung:

Crapstone, England

NY Times article about funny place names in the UK. When reading this article, try to appreciate how the author waffles between really enjoying writing these place names in a world famous newspaper and soberly trying to distance himself from that reality.

Thanks Dad!

Neil Baby

Apparent Neil Young has a new concept album coming out about green autos. This is, to my mind, a mystical sign whose form is solid evidence for general Hegelian thought: the universe has an arc, it is long, and it bends toward something a child drew. Here is the video for the first single. Highly recommended.

As p-fork put it: "And if sources are to be believed, the new songs are both perplexing and terrible, which of course will not prevent Neil Young from stuffing his setlist with these songs until he gets tired of doing so. Neil Young, you see, does whatever the fuck he wants."

Don't forget, he named his son Ben.

Let's find more animals on drugs.

Serial Disappointment

Remember (you two, "yo, let's go to florida"), that morning-night at the end of the semester. I think this gets closer than most else. And, generally, it's nice to watch a man in jean shorts inside become charismatic.

In the words of Mr. Nikola Tamindzic (courtesy of SF/J) : “we will not know if acid is dangerous until we test it on THE FOXIEST GIRLS IN ENGLAND.”





Guess what!? Kids are groovy too!



Not so fast kids. You can't just go tripping balls in class and shit.



Then what do we do with all this acid we just bought? OMG, let's go find THE CAT. [DISCLAIMER: This video may be traumatizing for catpeople.]




P.S. I do not endorse drug use. But if you must, please document it and place it on Youtube immediately.

Your favorite black people--on drugs!

Buddyhead was a site I used to frequent back in my dial-up AOL days. It was a site put together by a bunch of guys who hated everything besides a few Tool albums and The Icarus Line (if I am remembering correctly--I truly don't care to check), a band that some of the site's writers belonged. Thanks to Gordo's response to my last post, I stumbled upon (literally, rather than through the use of some website for people with even more time on their hands) their Youtube channel. I decided to not waste any more of your time, and compiled the best of these "Related Videos."

Richard Pryor, twacked. It is worth it, I should add, to watch the whole thing.



James Brown, having just got high on himself, or got himself high, or got down with his high self.



Sly Stone, in a groove of sorts.



To each his own. Let's dance.

Cocaine is a hell of a drug
