This clip is from a 1990 Tamil film called Adhisaya Piravi. Although I think it’s funnier out of context, you can find some background info and even watch the film in its entirety at this site: Little Superstar aka King Kong.

By the way, I’d love to see this guy team up with Weng Weng from For Your Height Only. Maybe they could be secret agents undercover at an elementary school. Come on, you know that’d be just a little awesome. 🙂

I don’t think this show is past the pilot stage yet, but it looks damn funny. It stars Brian McCann from Late Night with Conan O’brien. How can you possibly go wrong with McCann? You McCann’t.

I just started reading Nicholas Gurewitch’s web comic series: The Perry Bible Fellowship. Really funny stuff. Definitely worth checking out.

Saw this music video on the Tv in Japan blog. Some weird shit. It kinda sounds like Van Halen’s Jump in certain parts. Listen to the first verse and see if you can hear it. “Oh cant you see me standing here, Ive got my back against the record machine…” Anyway, that’s what it sounds like to me.

Southern All Stars – Miss Brand New Day

From The Mainichi Daily News:

Southern’s controversial clip was made for its hit 1984 track “Miss Brand New Day,” a parody song that laughed at the sensibilities of young women who spent all their money buying designer label items.

Despite selling 300,000 copies, the music video for “Miss Brand New Day” was never aired until Southern released it as a bonus on its latest DVD, largely because the clip had effectively been treated as though it had been banned for obscenity.

” ‘Miss Brand New Day’ was part of the ‘Ninki Mono de Iko’ album and even its sleeve was viewed as a potential problem. (Southern All-Stars’ lead singer) Keisuke Kuwata got the sleeve picture in the news when he said it was designed using pubic hair as a motif,” a record industry insider tells Asahi Geino.

To counteract the diabolical laughter from my last post, I present to you one of the greatest laughs ever in the history of mankind. Thanks go out to Lex for sending me this video.

the laughter of children

This reminds me of a nightmare I had once. Imagine sequencing those laughing girls between clips of people dying in horrible accidents. Would that be evil or hilarious? I think both.
Warning: Watching this while high may cause you to jump out of a window in terror.

I found this song on a Best of Hindi Pop cd a while back. I like it. It’s catchy and the lyrics are priceless.

Directed/Written/Edited by: Katsuhito Ishii, Hajime Ishimine, Shin’ichiro Miki
Starring: Tadanobu Asano, Andrew Alfieri, Ryo Case, Hideaki Anno

This film is described by Dennis Harvey of Variety as “a surreal sci-fi-musical-whatsit whose resistance to thematic or narrative logic renders viewers thoroughly – but not unpleasantly – bewildered for 2 1/2 hours. Breathtakingly, often hilariously bizarre.” Sounds cool.

Pull the plug

Going through the motions
Cold, soulless, cliché
I’ve become a robot
Impersonating somebody I’ve never met
With smiles painted over rusted metal resentment
Gears and guts in grinding dissonance

Something is broken
My programming is flawed, fucked up, infested with bugs
The bugs make me hate
Make me ache
Make me wish all this would end
Make me wish I could reboot my brain

But no, I will continue
To mosey around desecrating everything in my path
Spilling out garbage
Worrying women
Frightening the elderly
Washing my circuits in ethanol

There are no answers…
I don’t even know what the fucking question would be

Going to Disney World to drop acid and goof on Mickey isn’t revolutionary; going to Disney World in full knowledge of how ridiculous and evil it all is and still having a great innocent time, in some almost unconscious, even psychotic way, is something else altogether. This is what de Certeau describes as “the art of being in-between,” and this is the only path of true freedom in today’s culture. Let us, then, be in-between. Let us revel in Baywatch, Joe Camel, Wired magazine, and even glossy books about the society of spectacle, but let’s never succumb to the glamorous allure of these things.

Just when you thought Steven Seagal couldn’t get any deadlier, he unleashes the soulful melodies from his crystal cave. They get stuck in your head like a knife, just like what happens to Tommy Lee Jones at the end of Under Siege.

Steven Seagal – Don’t You Cry

Just read these lyrics:

Would you feel the same
If I was invisible, untouchable
Would you call my name
If you no longer see my face
I won’t be far away…

I’ll be in your ocean
I’ll be in the sky
I’ll be forever, don’t you cry
There’s no seperation
Between you and I
I’ll be here forever don’t you cry…

I’ll never die…

Steven Seagal lives in your ocean forever, and he’ll never die.

Here’s another:

Stiven Seagal – Girl It’s Alright
