Sleepy

I'm up late 'cause TNT is rerunning season three of Leverage at two in the morning and I'm staying up to tape it so when I finish showing my mom season two she can, you know, continue with the series.
But I need something to occupy my time while I'm waiting to hit the record button and go to bed (my TV doesn't let me just program tapes for some reason). Tonight I chose to read Cracked.com.
These two articles amused me greatly:

How Can You Be Anything But Low Down Saggy And Blue

When I was a kid, we had a TV special about Joe Raposo on tape, which was pretty much the greatest thing ever, and this is one of the songs that was featured in it. For a long time I found it rather boring, but I seem to recall my brother liked it a lot, and it grew on me in his repeated viewings of the song (and eventually I figured out it was a very sad song, which probably made me dislike it again, but...)
Last night I was watching the Nostalgia Critic's Top Eleven Nostalgic Mindfucks list and the Raggedy Ann And Andy movie was on there, which reminded me "Hey, there was a song that the camel sang in that movie. I don't remember anything about it other than that it was pretty good. I should look it up."
I looked it up. I found it. And, in about three listens, I memorized the damn thing.
I'm obsessive compulsive about song lyrics.

I Ride Unicorns And I Like Candy

Mike Phirman's Lollytown made it onto Rock Band (or Rock Band Three or something).



If I had an XBox and / or Rock Band, I'd totally go buy this level.

I Love Advertising

I do. I know and understand the soullessness of the purpose of it all ("Convince people to buy things they don't necessarily need because we want their money!") but I still love it.
I love reading about advertising, I love learning all the different tricks and methods used to try to sell products, all of it just fascinates me.
I'm also rather fond of Cracked.com, and I especially like their articles about advertising:

Hubba Hubba Hubba Hubba Hubba

Last night Ivy played me a bunch of music. It was fun. I like music. Anyway, here's some of it:



First of all, this is probably my favorite of the songs she played me, which is maybe sad on my part (of course I went for the silliest song). The thing is, I think the main reason I liked it best is because I have vague memories of my older brother singing it years and years ago. Mostly just "I'm a happy boy (happy boy)!" but there were probably some "hubba"s in there, too.
Anyway, then there was this:



Which speaks very much to my love of fast singing.
And finally, I wouldn't recommend this video if you have issues with zombies, creepy zombie faces or zombies with glitter confetti for blood:



I would like to use this opportunity to bitch about something that music videos have been doing probably since forever that I have always hated: interrupting the song for the sake of having more video. While I heartily approve of music videos being movies and having stories, they're music videos, goddamnit! I have no problem with extra video being added to the beginning and end of the songs, but adding extra video to the middle interrupts the flow of the song, which, as far as I'm concerned, is just as important as what's going on onscreen. Possibly moreso, since the video is intended to showcase the song.
I'm just sayin'.

I Less Than B Faith No More

As everybody knows by now, I went to a Faith No More concert last night. I can say with all certainty that this is, by far, the greatest band reunion in the history of ever. Even if Mr. Bungle decide to do a reunion tour, I don't know if they could top this one. (That could just be me on an FNM high, but the show really was incredible.)
And, in honor of the wonderful time I had and the amazing energy of the band, here's the music video for a song they didn't play last night.
