For The Sake Of My Own Sanity...

For future reference...
For the comfort of having them all in one place...
Here is, as far as I know, every Local H music video, in order of (again, as far as I know) release:

Cynic (Ham Fisted)


High Fiving MF (As Good As Dead)


Bound For The Floor (As Good As Dead)


Fritz's Corner (As Good As Dead)


Eddie Vedder (As Good As Dead)


All The Kids Are Right (Pack Up The Cats)


Half Life (Here Comes The Zoo)


Hands On The Bible (Here Comes The Zoo) [ANOTHER FUN FACT: I found this video a couple days after I found Cooler Heads (see next video) and am not sure if I'd even count this one as an official video if it weren't for the fact that the Youtube description claims it was released as a promo video and shown on MTV in 2002 (I wasn't aware MTV was still showing videos in 2002...). I'm pretty sure this is from the There Went The Zoo DVD that the Youtube summary claims was scrapped but I own it so either somebody is wrong or it isn't from There Went The Zoo (I can't know for sure because I haven't had a chance to watch it since I bought it). Sorry for overexplaining; I'll shut up now.]


Cooler Heads (The No Fun EP) [FUN FACT: I found this video four days after I posted this entry and had to come in and add it. Also, the more I watch it, the stronger feeling I get that it's a fan video. But if it is, it's a very well done fan video so I'm leaving it here.]


California Songs (Whatever Happened To PJ Soles?)


Machine Shed Wrestling (12 Angry Months)


Cold Manor (Hallelujah, I'm A Bum)


Another February (Hallelujah, I'm A Bum)


Whoo! Finished! That was tedious and detailed.
"Hey, Sally, why not put the Scott Lucas And The Married Men videos on here, too?"
Shut up, brain.

Be seeing you.

About Half The Internet Might Yell At Me For This...

But I don’t get the whole Ryan Gosling thing.
Don’t get me wrong, I think he’s a very talented actor and Drive in particular is one of my favorite movies. But why the fuck does everybody think he’s hot?
I actually have the same problem with Channing Tatum, too, though I think he’s less talented as an all-around actor (though I do think he’s funny. 21 Jump Street was great).
Is it just chicks who are really into muscular dudes and don’t care what their faces look like? ‘Cause I can’t be attracted to a guy whose face looks like someone half-melted a Ken doll and then smoothed it out with wax.
That’s what Ryan Gosling and Channing Tatum look like to me: half-melted and unnaturally smooth.
They both seem like very cool, likeable people. I’d hang out with both of them. But I sincerely don’t understand why women are falling-all-over-themselves attracted to them. I sure as hell wouldn’t want to sleep with them.
On the other hand, most of my friends don’t seem to get my taste in men, so maybe I should just shut up.
... And speaking of my taste in men, I discovered a couple days ago Local H made a video for Half Life. First of all, how come I didn't know it existed before (it's more than ten years old at this point) and, secondly, why can't I stop watching it?



Be seeing you.

Okay, I Have To Admit I Do Still Like One Of Her Songs, But Only One...

I recently saw a quote from Sarah Silverman that said something along the lines of “I don’t set out to offend people but I don’t do anything to avoid it, either.”
That would be honorable if the first half of the quote weren’t complete bullshit.
Her entire schtick is “I’m petite and cute and just said something really racist / sexist / religionist / ageist / whatever.” There’s no point to it other than to offend.
A lot of people claim it’s satire but I don’t think it is because there’s no message; sure, she’s pretending to be something she’s not but she’s also not pointing out anything about society. Even actual racists don’t talk the way she does. She just says offensive shit and we’re supposed to think that’s hilarious because she’s pretty.
I used to really like her “comedy” (and saw her live many times) until I realized there was nothing in it. I tried really hard to still like her after I figured that out, but the humor dies really fast once you realize it’s pointless.
I cannot fucking stand Sarah Silverman.

Be seeing you.

My New Favorite Christmas Song

Okay, I've heard the song a million times before, but never this rendition.

Another List Full Of Pictures; Fifty Folks This Time

Because it's what I do when I can't think of anything else to do, and because my "One Hundred Lovely Famous People" list probably gets more views than anything else I've posted (fuck those entries where I actually had something interesting to say; I know there aren't a lot of them but I'm much prouder of them than my lists of celebrity crushes), here's basically a retread of that, but shorter and with a few different people.
And listed alphabetically by last name because I never feel right ranking people.
And I put the restriction on myself that nobody I know personally can be on the list. It didn't change a whole lot, but it did eliminate a few people.
Anyway, yeah, I threw the list together while eating lunch and now I'm passing the savings on to you.
(Also, I'm pissed 'cause I ate lunch at a place where I particularly loved their seared ahi tuna salad. But they've changed their menu and, while technically the salad is still there, it's a different salad. It has different dressing, it has peas and bell peppers in it now and it kind of sucks. Guess I'll have to find a new favorite seared ahi tuna salad.)
By the way, I'd like to take this opportunity to point out that I didn't take any of the pictures I post on this blog (except for rare exceptions) and don't own the rights to any of them, either (again, there are rare exceptions). I find them almost entirely on Google image search and have no idea where they're from orginally. I don't take credit for them, I'm not making money off of them, I just really like them.
(I'd also like to point out that the Rob Paulsen picture I used in this post is one that I do own the rights to; it's a picture of him with me taken after one of his live podcast recordings.)
