A southern-rock alternative to the R&B/Soul of the California Raisins called “The Almond Brothers”. People thought ODB was singing all nasty about sex when, really, he just really loved s...

The terrible truth of the world is, even if something is ethically cut and dried, that doesn’t make a potential lasting solution any less nuanced. We are in a world of troubles that shouldn’t b...

(to the tune of All-Star) Rheeeeeett BUT-ler once told me, that he don’t wanna know me, said frankly that he don’t give a damn.... When call it an “acting teacher” when you could call it a “s...
sept 24
Someone must be a checkers grand-master. Ah yeah, the founding of a vanity political party, the desperate act of a narcissist running out of ways to glom the spotlight. Maybe the lyrics of ...
sept 23
I wonder if the Australians got revenge on us by advertising “Coors… American for Beer” on their native shores. Your terrible rap-metal song about Super Mario Brothers 3 will be called “I Did...

We could totally call fan-conventions “stan mixers”. If only cooking reality shows had their contestants come out to personal theme songs, like professional wrestlers or closing relief pitche...

Imagine enjoying media w/out a need to engage in fandom, endless discourse with the like-minded. None of the external validation of discussion & fanwank, no drama, no setting up camps or su...

A film about an attempt to populate an entire amusement park with Christopher Walken clones that goes terribly wrong called “WALKEN THE PARK”. The “Joe Rogan Experience” is having a tiny man ...

You know what the trick was with the loaves & fish? The crowd was starved, even a bit would be a feast to each. Jesus & Friends could’ve had a light nosh but for a crowd it was a little...

A musical version of King Kong called APE MISBEHAVIN’. Speed dating at the Michaels and they call it “Craft Singles”. Flanders, Long Island has big duck energy. A pre-owned car and a post...

A parody of Steely Dan’s “FM” about satellite radio. “No signal at all, no signal at all, no signal at all… XM, no signal at all!” If you care about the deaths of a dozen Marines because it s...
sept 14
A dark comedy about factory workers damned to keep working their jobs even in death as ghosts called “Time Sheets”. A mystery about the journey to find a stolen family heirloom called “The Qu...
sept 13
During that brief period when people were ironically into sea shanties, you could’ve cashed in with the band name “The Pillage People” but that opportunity too is now lost to time like tears in...
sept 12
Do not name your meats before putting them in the oven. No, not even “Isabella Roastalini”. That’s clever, of course, but still morally wrong. It’s too bad Elektra isn’t the quippy sort becau...
sept 11
A great song about synesthesia would be “She Blinded Me With Silence”. Sonic the Hedgehog refuses chili dogs during Lent. If you ask him why, he will respond “Gotta go fast.” The part of th...
