10.30.08, Or The Day Wilco Played Colbert

On October 30, Wilco played a new song on Comedy Central's Colbert Report called The Wilco Song. There are rumors that the song was written for the show, but I think that they just changed one of the choruses for the show. Anyway, the song is pretty entertaining. The songwriting of Tweedy & Co. is something that continually amazes me. The melodies are seemingly so simple, but combine to create a piece of music that is catchy, not a real big surprise coming from this group of guys.



In the words of Stephen Colbert: "Nation, that is a #1 hit!"

808s and Heartbreak, Or Kanye West on Auto-tune

So far, I have heard 5 tracks leaked from Kanye Wests newest album, 808s and Heartbreak (named mainly for 808, a drum machine he seems to have used for a lot of his beats and the general topic of the album), set to be release later this month (the 25th I believe). I have to be honest, I'm not quite sure what to think. The first time I heard Love Lockdown, I absolutely hated it, but it has since grown on me. The other 4 songs that have leaked were produced in a similar fashion to Love Lockdown, with Kanye singing a lot through an auto-tuner, which is what gives his voice that robotic feel.

I have posted the 5 songs I have heard so far here, in the order that they will be on the album (a full track list is at the bottom of this post). I have read a lot of mixed reviews, some people are really excited about this new sound from Kanye, and some just wish he would go back to rapping instead of trying to become a singer. I for one am still on the fence about it all. Seeing as how Love Lockdown grew on me, I am going to have to let these new ones soak in for a while before I make any final decisions. Take a listen and see how you feel about it...

John Williams Medley, Or What Happens When You Have Too Much Time On Your Hands

John Williams is without a doubt the most prolific and successful commercial composer over the last 50 years, scoring movies uncluding Jaws, all 4 Indiana Jones movies, all 6 Star Wars movies, Schindler's List, Amistad, E.T., Saving Private Ryan, and tons, tons more. The video below is a tribute to some of John Williams' work and I have to say, I found it extremely entertaining, and pretty fucking awesome. This definitely took practice and most likely a lot of time. My personal favorite is probably Indiana Jones or Jurassic Park. Seriously, this thing is pretty epic...I am kind of jealous. Enjoy!




P.S. Bryan and Dave, his wookie is waaaaay better than anything you can do.

Dumb People, Or The Things I Hate The Most In The World

We all know some stupid people, and more than likely they make us angry more than anything else. Well, this is one stupid girl. There are classes for a reason. I don't think she will ever make it in the biz:




She got what she deserved.

Late Night With Conan O'Brien - The Top 15 Moments of the Funniest Show On Television

Manofest.com, (an internet version of Maxim or Stuff Magazine, you know, full of stuff for guys) posted it's 15 favorite moments from Late Night with Conan O'Brien yesterday, October 17th. And I gotta tell ya', every clip is fan-fucking-tastic. This is the one that I picked as my favorite, and it's #10 on their list. I went apple picking a few weeks ago with two of my roommates, my girlfriend and our buddies girlfriend, and I wish it were half this amazing...unfortunately we went to the one apple orchard that advertises as the "No Thrills, No Fun Apple Picking". I tried to loosen things up by hitting Bryan over the head with the picker stick, it didn't work out so well. Next year, Bryan, we will have to find one with a hayride so I can make up a song...



Conan O'Brian & Mr. T Celebrate Fall Foliage Day

Please don't lose the zaniness when you take over for Leno, I want to see Vomiting Kermit on TV at 10:30...please God let that happen. You can watch the rest of the clips by clicking right here...enjoy and you're welcome.

Tarry Tate or Tarry Tater Tot? Oh. Tarry Tate. Not Tarry Tater Tot. Or is it? It is.

I laughed.

I Should Never Have Quit Boy Scouts...

I was sitting at work today, actually about 5 minutes ago, when my boss sent me this video (yes, my actual boss), saying he thought I would find this funny...I did. This video is gold, Jerry, GOLD! Check it out, pay special attention to the alerts at the bottom of the screen, they are particularly amusing.

I love my office...



"My older brother Ted is our advisor." Brilliant!

Another Funny Video...

Here's a video I'm sure you have seen before, as have I. Nonetheless, it is still gold.



Happy Halloween!

Judd Apatow, or, I Make Funny Movies For People 26 And Younger

Including this one. Paul Rudd, Christopher Mintz-Plasse (McLovin), Sean Wiliam Scott (Stifler), Elizabeth Banks, and Jane Lynch (you know, the normal crew) star in the next Apatow Production, Role Models. Written by Paul Rudd and David Wain (Wet Hot American Summer), it proves to be just one more in the already long-and-still-growing line of low brow comedies chalk full of one-liners quotable scenes that will keep you and your friends busy for at least a good day or two. Don't believe me? Check out this R-Rated trailer...



"Beyoncé pouring sugar on my dick." Priceless!

See, I told you. I'm 2 for 2 today. Don't mess...

Whoopsy-Daisy, or, Fat People Should Not Stand On Furniture...

If you can't guess what's coming after reading the title, perhaps you shouldn't be allowed access to the internet...

Fast-forward to 2:30 and then watch from there. The rolling around is pretty good too...let's watch.



See, it's great.

Björk, or Let's See How F*ed Up We Can Make My Video

Well, I am posting twice in one day again because I have been without a computer for a few days and need to get all of this out. I was directed towards this video yesterday by my favorite Björk fan, and true to her word, no matter how weird and creepy this video gets, it never stops escalating. Just another day in the world of Björk videos (yes, they are all extremely over-the-top and often times confusing/creepy). Don't believe me? Hit play.



I told you.

"It was just pure water..."

This was sent to me via one Nicholas Borm. I can't figure out how to embed the video, so you will just have to watch it on the website I send you to below...

Quick summation - George Brett, former baseball player for the KC Royals, most well known for the "pine tar incident", speaks up at a Royals spring training about a mis-hap he had once in Vegas...let's watch it here

Who wants to be a dumbass?

So this is my first post, but it is one of my favorite videos. It starts out kinda slow, but the whole background story really makes you appreciate it more. His face is priceless....

I Want It The Way I Want It Dammit...Windy And In Front Of A Giant Plane

Gone are the days of MTV actually playing Music Videos (except for maybe 30 minutes a day). Gone are the days of The Box (I believe it was channel 107 for me) which would play music videos 24 hours a day and you could call in and request any video you want, even though nobody ever did. In order to rehash long-lost memories of days gone by and junior high dances, I have posted a few of my favorite videos from the mid-90s...

Inspired by office antics this morning, I got a sudden urge to post this video.  It will no doubt bring you back to the days of junior high and girls standing in a circle screaming every single word while you were standing against the wall in your tie trying to figure out the best way to penetrate their defenses and separate one of them from the rest of the pack so you can feebly dance with your hands around her waist...at arms length of course

Dear Jennifer Love Hewitt,

Once you were on top of the world. Starring in I Know What You Did Last Summer and then Can't Hardly Wait with Seth Green and Ethan Embry. Your name is even first listed on the IMDB page! But what has happened to you? You seem to have fallen into oblivion, disappearing off the face of the earth like few other extreme hotties from the 90s can do...I miss your smiling face and your, ahem, large chest. Let's remember the good old days when shitty pop "stars" wrote songs about you wearing a green dress, and being on TV. The same ones that referred to themselves as LFO (probably because they realized that "Lyte Funky Ones" was retarded in every sense. And yes, that is what LFO actually stands for). Why aren't you on TV anymore Jennifer, why?!?!

With all the lust my 16 year-old heart can muster,

Sean

An Educational Tutorial with our Arachnid Friends

Upon reflection, this blog has gotten a little silly. Let's try to be a little more educational.



It is perfect.

He really says it all

Joel is brilliant; so brilliant, in fact, that he says it all with his new segment: "There is nothing to say"

Watch.

Drunken Emails, or: Tnia Yuo Aer A Fkcunig Btich, I Htae Oyu

Scenario 1: It's 2:45 on Saturday night and you have just returned from a night of drunken debauchery at the bars and you feel like penning an email to your ex-lover pleading for just "one more chance" or sending a lusty email to that really hot girl you exchanged notes with once in Astronomy class, only to completely regret it in the morning.


Well the creative masterminds at Google have created a new service for those of you who have a habit of sending embarrassing emails when drunk and at the keyboard...Mail Goggles. Mail Goggles is a new Google Labs feature in order to prevent these late night e-booty calls and emotional rants. When activated, Mail Goggles requires you to answer a few relatively simple math problems after hitting the "send" button just to make sure that you are in the correct state of mind and conscious of what just exactly you are about to do...


After being activated, you can set Mail Goggles to be active whenever you want it to be, so if you are one of those Tuesday afternoon drinkers, you are in luck!



Scenario 2: It's 2:45 Saturday night and you just got home from the bars.  You sit down at your computer to hash out the greatest love story and email it to your ex.  You hit send and then all of a sudden, "What is all this math?  All I want to do is express my inner beauty.  Ok, 86-32 equals...shit.  Oh well, where did I put that pizza...?"


Some Great Ideas...and Maybe Even An Ab Workout

Well, its October, pumpkins are available at your local grocer (which is not a year-round thing, trust me), the leaves are changing colors, the weather is becoming chilled, and Bryan is incessantly talking about going apple picking.  All of these lead to only one thing: Halloween!  In order to get your creative juices flowing, here are some great costume ideas for you and/or the special lady in your life...






So what the hell are you waiting for?  Get your ass down there, the man is having a sale for crying out loud.

Spaghetti Cat, or, The First Of Many Ridiculous Posts

Welcome one, welcome all, to the first ever post on the soon-to-be world-renowned Spaghetti Cat Blog.  Here you will find all of the immature hilarity that Bryan and I find on the internet...think of it as a one-stop-shop for all of your bored office mornings.  I thought that since the title of our blog is Spaghetti Cat, there is only one thing fitting for the first post...Spaghetti Cat

Feast your eyes on this folks:





Stay tuned for more immature ramblings by both Bryan and myself.
