Gome of the Week
Girls who sing Janis Joplin songs at karaoke:

Please stop this as soon as you can. The Mercedes Benz song sucks, Bobby McGee really sucks, and Little Piece of my Heart is impossible to do justice to, so just sing some Veruca Salt and sit back down with your hard lemonade before I pull all of my hair out.

And tip me, goddammit.

 

 

This Week's Link That's Probably Not That Great
J. Keith's Official Site - Yes, he's been fired from Beat the Geeks, but you can still track him down on the internet. See what he's up to.

 

This Week's Movie You've Probably Never Seen
Journey Back to Oz (1974)

A bizarre cartoon sequel to the original that features Liza Minelli (Judy Garland's daughter, duh) as Dorothy along with a bunch of old people like Milton Berle and Mickey Rooney.

Is doing a sequel to a movie like this ever a good idea, especially if it's going to be poorly animated in the early 70's?

A fun fact: in the TV version, Bill Cosby is the voice of the Wizard of Oz.

Dude, who cares.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

This Week's Record You're Probably Not Listening To
764-HERO - We're Solids (1997)

Have you just been dumped? Do you like to drink copious amounts of alcohol and listen to someone who's feeling the exact same pain as you are? Then this may just be the record for you.

7 songs about drinking alone and obsessing about someone who just doesn't give a shit anymore.

Such a great record, but be prepared to cry yourself to sleep. Cheers!
