Gome of the Week
Fall TV is confusing!
Oh my God, everything has changed. Now Fox is UPN and vice versa, or something like that, Simpsons is back to twice a day, but Will and Grace is going to be on five days a week. It's messing up my entire sense of emotional balance.
Bad thing: all the new shows coming out look terrible.
Good thing: a new season of Curb Your Enthusiasm, which is an almost painfully funny show.
This Week's Link That's Probably Not That Great
The Best Page in the Universe - A pretty funny site run by a guy who is sure that he rules and you don't.
This Week's Movie You've Probably Never Seen
Terror On Tour (1980)
Terror strikes as the music begins.
The sweet tagline to this sweet film about a rock group called the Clowns who wear make-up and all that good stuff, Kiss style.
The crazy thing about this group is that they kill people. Or somebody does while they play their shows. Or something like that.
At least you know when a film stars Dave Galluzzo and Richard Styles that it's going to be quality work.
"The search for the murderer begins... and ends with the audience chanting, Kill, Kill, Kill!"
Okay!
This Week's Record You're Probably Not Listening To
NEW DQT - Revolution Jingles (2002)
Baby Powder Fresh from the Buttery Lords goes solo and causes a goddamned ruckus. Give any good man a 4-track and some late night booze and you never know what kind of sweet hip-hop will come out of it. Anyway, this is a dope record that any fan of indie lo-fi rap would love.
Word to the Talking Grapefruit.
This Week's Hip New Slang Word or Phrase
What What - A pint glass containing two shots of vodka and 10 ounces of Budweiser.
Origin - Cherry Sprout, my friend and co-worker.
Usage - "Dude, I don't know what to order to drink."
"You're a re-re, dude. Hey bartender, can I get a What What?"
