I keep hearing about Tim & Eric Awesome Show Good Job, but have yet to see a full episode. Youtube, however, is, as always, quite helpful in the matter. Some of this stuff is freakin hilarious.

Nice work kidz, keep making crazy dances up and doing them and blowing people's minds and they don't really understand you but they can't argue with your movez. Keep it up. Apparently this is called turf dancing… [from kottke]

ever since the 80’s I think something’s in my tylenol

August 15, 2010 by jjosh

so I downloaded that most recent mixtape from the Hood Internet…and it's pretty blah, which is how I feel about most of their stuff…I dunno, maybe the tracks are better if you know all the sample sources, but that's never stopped me before…

but this one track, damn I can't stop playing it over and over! for some reason Maxine hates the dolphin-like synth sounds, which I love, so I can't really play it out loud in the house, but I'm listening to it over and over on the headphones…so many great lyrics…"training all my zeros to perform like a figure 8"…

Bon Voyage

August 11, 2010 by jjosh

It's been a great car. It moved us to New York, even though we smashed a window on the day we were driving up. It took us on an epic East Coast tour down into the South, through NC and to Savannah and back. It's been to Vermont, CT, NH, a bunch of times. Driven us to shoots in Brooklyn, Central Park, scouting runs to NJ. Been super reliable. In fact, this may be the first car I've had that didn't break down at some point and leave me stranded on the side of the road! Huge.

It seems a bit of a shame to say good-bye. There are some computer errors in the engine, and the throttle body needs to be replaced and some other things, and it looks like it would cost about $3000 (!!!) to fix (got a second opinion and they agreed). Plus, it feels like we live in one of the few cities in the world where we actually don't need a car.

So today we say good-bye. We're donating it and the tow truck is here now to take it away. I will miss the flexibility of having a car, the ease of getting a ton of groceries, the simplicity of driving my amp over to someone's house. I will not miss having to re-park once or twice a week for the street cleaning. I will not miss having to remember where the heck I parked it this time. I will not miss paying car insurance. I will not miss paying for parking tickets.

Good luck car, we'll see you around.

a certain surgical procedure

August 10, 2010 by jjosh

hey you guys know that story about GZA being at SxSW and showing up really late for his set and being completely drunk and forgetting lyrics and just generally giving an awful show? did you know it was because he had been partying it up big style with Bill Murray getting wasted in the middle of the day? true!

check the relationship below from JJ's Coffee and Cigarettes, which you don't need to see really…bu this scene is so amazing. The way he cuts to the close-up when BM says "Wu Tang Clan!" And the little augmented "ting" when the tea cups clink…so much fun…"I wouldn't hold my breath on Ghost"…
