Here’s more LoM, set to my fave Beastie Boys song:

And served up here in high quality (15MB, .mov format) for your enjoyment. Thanks Mark! LOVE YA!!!

And here’s the original Sabotage vid, much in line with LoM.

Ah, violence is so refreshing sometimes. Mucho macho.

Because I can’t get this song out of my head, and why not infect you too?

It’s interesting how factors like ballsy and outrageously funny can inform our perception of “gorgeous”. Because he’s still as hideous as when we first saw him. Right?

Right?

Yeah, yeah, and he’s drop dead gorgeous.

I like this project idea from ReadyMade Magazine.

It’s probably a shame to gut old speakers, but hey, if they’re selling for $2 at Savers, can you really devalue them any more?

But the boys say, “No, go the gay way! Be the gay way! Go for the gay way, alright?”

She’s mispronouncing “fuckin’ A”, if you ask me, but it’s a great vid nonetheless.

I agree that Sam does fall in love with Gene, but not sexually. Just in your normal, play-by-the-rules, male bonding, I’d-rather-die-than-live-without-you kind of way.

Seriously, if you were going to judge only by certain well-made slash fanvids, you’d think this was the gayest show ever! (Except for Batman, of course.)

Here’s the QT speech on Top Gun:

Until we probably don’t wink out of existence.

Now what about those rumors that Al Qaeda is seeking plans to build an infinite improbability drive?

Speaking of radio, you can stream my favorite radio station here:

KUNC, your FM source for NPR

They have a program of “Diverse Music” which goes on for hours, they stream BBC at night, and they have “Echoes” around sleepy time. This is a station I have a real affection for. It comes in a little dim here in Boulder, but it’s worth struggling with my clock radio antenna to get it.

You can stream it using Winamp 5 (freeware).

Today I was thrilled to stumble across what appears to be a reincarnation of the local pirate radio station which went off the air in 2006.

It was at 93.9 (I believe), and it was playing some very German sounding techno/new wave stuff until it wasn’t anymore…a pirate identification and then just static.

According to the KBFR wiki page:

The original founder of KBFR, Monk, who recently moved out of the state, decided to leave all the equipment accumulated by the KBFR/Boulder Free Radio collective during its operations (2000-2005) to a new generation of underground radio enthusiasts. They can be found on several frequencies including 103.9, 102.7, 95.3 and at least 6 others. They often broadcast from parties, raves and cultural events.

As of 2008 a new group of Boulder pirates has emerged under the call letters KGLR (green light radio). They have taken the reins from Monk and presented a whole new station on 95.3 fm in Boulder, CO.

Pump up the volume…

In any case, Gene would love this guy.

Sheriff Buford Pusser (wikipedia article)

Sheriff: Check.

Cowboy boots: Check.

Guns: Check.

Sexy cars: Check.

Bigger guns and muscle cars: Check.

Tough-guy movie buff: Check.

Starring Joe Don Baker! (Mitchell! The guy who can maneuver a six-pack with his toes, if I recall my MST3K correctly.)

Oh, wait. The Walking Tall movie is about Buford Pusser! And it opened in 1973. Gene would definitely have this poster hanging in his office.

I forgot where I found this little comic, but isn’t it cute?
