It's headlines like these that truly make my day. It makes me wonder if there are slashers working at the newspaper....

So, you'll have to be a fan of Hitchcock movies, particularly Vertigo with Jimmy Stewart and Kim Novak to get my nerdy joy about this.

There was a song called "Flagpole Sitta" that came out when I was in high school.  At work, I listen to internet radio I heard this song again and decided to buy a used copy, as there are no more new pressings done.  Anyways, I pop it in to listen to it, and the first song that comes on is called "Carlotta Valdez."  I just... the geektastic joy I get from this overwhelms me.

Oh, and one of coworkers, Chris, is a major Hitchcock fan, especially of Vertigo (perhaps because the film takes place in San Francisco), but when I told him, he almost had a nerd-gasm.

So here are the lyrics, and I hope you fellow Hitchcock fans get a kick out of it too.

( Carlotta Valdez by Harvey Danger )

Um, I hoped I spelled that right. Anyways, it probably isn't nice and happy and fluffy to celebrate death, but I can't help it!

1945: Germany announces Hitler is dead

*smirks*

Guess its springtime for Hitler and all that rot.

I'm a sad, sick puppy. *wags tail*

Oy, this just... man, so much for the magical fruit.

Okay, so I've been watching some music videos. Anywhoo, some recs here.

Stupid by Sarah McLachlin; Bethany, period dress!!!



Then,I Write Sins, Not Tragedies by Panic! At the Disco. Very trippy wedding video. Gives me some ideas...


Another is Kiss Me, Kill Me by Mest, which is a crazy video that I dig. And the plot is quite intruiging.


Then there's a new video from My Chemical Romance that I enjoy, called Ghost of You. The plot is about D-Day, which was actually fairly accurate and graphic, for a music video. I mean, instead of going for the emo schmaltz video, they used something from real life. The lead singer's emotional style work for it. And the bass player wears glasses and is hot, while the lead singer in the performance shots has this Elvis thing going on.


Also, the video for Juicebox by the Strokes: hilarious, though rated for gratuitious vomit. And while there are two chicks making out, there are also two dudes. Yay equality! And David Cross is in it, too!


And of course, One Way Ticket... To Hell and Back by The Darkness. Yay for new Darkness!!!

Okay, so I have entirely waaaaaay too much time on my hands. So here is something I found online, the strange meditative thing where you make George Bush fall and contort. Its good times. Or something...

And here is one mocking the utter insanity that is the habit of comic books killing characters and bringing them back:

This one is just kind of a cool animated music video. Highly recommend it.

This is a comic by my friend Bethany macaroni_thief. It rocks and should be seen by all. ALL!!!!

Okay, this was hilarious. Just, even if you don't know him, his comments are funny. I cleaned up all of my errors, but I did leave his typos in, just for shits and giggles.


"Rocket Queen" by Guns N' Roses: "Starts like a pissed off cobra in a pit of drunk prison inmates before transforming into a gentle aunt washing your hair. 'Rocket Queen' is a satisfying song for anyone with multiple personalities that all hate each other and a strong desire to chew on a chain."

"My Name is Jonas" by Weezer: "Sometimes when I meet someone I've never met before I start by saying, 'My name is Jonas. I'm carrying the wheel.' Then the person kind of gets a puzzled look on their face and I say the next line, 'Thanks for all you've shown us. But this is how we feel.' I keep going with the song until the either catch on or walk away massively frustrated by my riddle. Someday I hope the person stays until I get to march in cirlces hollering, 'The workers are going home.'"

"Shout at the Devil" by Motley Crue: "You have not lived if you haven't driven to Vegas at 3:30 in the morning doing 138 mph down a desert highway with the top down covered in bison blood. Or maybe you have. Nevermind. Cool tune."

"Rebel Yell" by Billy Idol: "Put this song on and try your hardest not to impersonate Idol. Ya can't. You will throw your fist up. You will curl your lip. You will thrust your private area. I bet you forty bucks. You can't not do it so don't lie."

"Space Truckin'" by Deep Purple: "Hi, my name is Dane Cook. Wanna watch me play my air guitar? No? Well then go swallow your own fist you boring boob."

"Welcome to the Jungle" by Guns N' Roses: "If there was ever a song that made me want to go down life's 'bad road,' it was this hypnotic, teeth-smashing creature of a song. I wanted to buy a ski mask and rob every bank in sight. Then give the money to a new charity I've started in my pocket."

"Rock n' Roll Band" by Boston: "I dig this whole album. This is one of the few albums that I can play all the way throught to this day. I still remember driving around in my '78 Thunderbird Cranking this tune, and if I denied wanting to join a band and trying to make it to the top, I'd be lying."

"Whatsername" by Greenday: "I agree with every line of this tune. A brilliant song from one of my favorite albums ever."

"Suspicious Minds" by Elvis: "Lyrics that make you stop what you're doing, look at your girl and wonder if she feels the same way. Or maybe you do?"

"Peaches" by The Presidents of the United States of America: And I don't even like Peaches."

"Youth Gone Wild" by Skid Row: "I'd love to find this kid Mike, who in high school threw a cup of paint at me during art class. I didn't do anything at the time, but to this day I wish I kicked his ass. It's probably my only regret in life to this day. Nothing to do with this song but I thought it was an opportunity to get something's off my chest. And you know what? I feel better! Thanks iTunes Music Store. You're like a friend that knows a lot of cools songs."

"St. John" by Aerosmith: "We're all Boston boys. Gotta represent the best band from the best city on Earth."

"Killing in the Name" by Rage Against the Machine: "If I was a superhero and I had to pick a theme song that played everthing I came to fight villians this would be my song. By the way my superhero name, Cap'n Justice."

"Dragostea Din Tei" by O-Zone" If you haven't seen it or don't know what I'm talking about you really have not business being online ever again. Internet? You should be on the InterNOT. Haha...lol...rotfl."
