Black Greg (the band) Update:
2 new songs coming soon, and we're currently trying to line up gigs in denver. We had to bail on a gig at the Larimer Lounge on Sunday because of bad scheduling on our parts, but hopefully we can get in there later in May. I'll keep you posted. Oh, and we were featured on the , Newborn Music Podcast (newbornmusic.com ) which I really appreciate, but I can't e-mail them to say that I appreciate it. Sorry Drew, I got a bad e-mail link to you. Drop me your e-mail again if you read this: zak@blackgreg.com-----end transmission oooooooo Black Greg (the band) Update---
It's funny how much of an impression Sesame Street made on me as a little kid. I never think about it until I stumble across things like this and realize that I know not only all the words, but what is going to happen next with the images.
Crazy man, crazy.
I hadn't remebered this clip having such a fat n' funky baseline though.
Yep, that's a Viagra stash in there.
Maybe you could put one on each hand and have a suicide pill in the other in case the date takes a turn for the worse.
Do you think the members of AC/DC are aware that they are being sold on a beach towel in K-Mart?
I think not.
Do you think they'd care?
Hmmmmm... tell you the truth, I really don't know.
There's gotta be a point where you just look at all the crappy merchandise surrounding you and say "fuck it, as long as I keep getting royalty checks."
* Hah, that Krypto lock is no match for my laser heat vision!
*Alright team, we've practiced this over an over, everybody knows their jobs inside out, 14 months of meticulous planning come together tonight! Lets go get that bike!
* With the money we make off this glorious Mountain Bike at the charity auction we should have enough to feed all the orphans in the orphanage for the rest of the month. And get Timmy that operation he so desperately needs.
* Now that I've killed Batman I'm going on a crime spree that likes of which this city has never seen before - starting with this bike!
Have a peep drink to celebrate the holiday.
They're huge in New York and L.A.
Somebody stole my bike last night to celebrate Easter!
Alright, I stumbled across this Zombie live in New York clip.
It's not great, but you can watch it and pretend you are at the show with us.
I forgot, I do have big news.
This is Rob Zombie Weekend! Zombie is coming to Denver this Monday and we're getting the band back together!
I would have put his latest Educated horses Video up, if it wasn't such a pain in the ass to round it up. If you want to see it go to Rollingstone.com and hunt it down. You tube is much easier for me to deal with, so here.
Nice work Music companies, you just shot yourself in the foot again by trying to nickle and dime your customers rather than use those videos to market the music.
Nice going.
Sorry, haven't updated in a while.
I've been really busy organizing my neighbors into a fantasy Battlestar Gallactica crew. These things take time, I hope you understand.
Let's see, what else to share...
Oh yeah, go check out channel 101 they got a good write up in Time this week and they have some really funny shows on there. Yacht Rock grows on you.
As they say at Channel 101: "it's the future of television, and it is INEVITABLE!"
Or something like that.
- Vampires of the future are going to be much harder to kill than vampires of the present
-Sending your children unattended to the dollar theaters is a cheap alternative to hiring a babysitter for an hour-and-a-half
- Before entering any major arena of potential battle you are going to want to slowly put on a pair of sunglasses
-In the future, swordplay will hold as important of a place in our culture as massive gunfights
-Love conquers all
- Just because the movie costs a dollar doesn't mean they are going to try and fix speakers when they blow out
-Armed-to-the-teeth, martial-arts enthusiast vampires conquer all
This just in:
Bob Ross Inc. has announced in March 2006 that they have filed a letter of intent to license to Joseph Hatcher's AGFRAG Entertainment Group to develop exclusively worldwide video/computer games based on Bob Ross' creative, unique and easy to learn painting techniques and TV show properties.
A Bob Ross Video Game? I can't even begin to imagine how you pull something like that together.
I don't play video games but this may just be the way to make me start! A gateway video game if you will.
Honestly, I couldn't make this stuff up.
I told you I'd find it! The Rolling Sotnes singing about Rice Krispies.
Some of their finer work if you ask me.
Actually, it sounds just like the Hives. (Iknow, I know.... the Hives are a Stones derivative and to say that the Stones sound like the Hives is puttin the cart before the horse and blah blah blah blah blah blah blahblahblahblahblahblahblahblahblahblahblahblahblahblahblahblahblahblahblahblahblahblahblahblahblahblah.....................
I've been meaning to record some of my former boss's Japan-isms on this blog for some time now.
Ted, not his god-given Japanese name rather the "engrish" name he chose for himself to give Americans an easier time saying his name, is a dick. He never made any excuses or apologies about being a dick, so you kind of have to respect that about him. Once you accepted that he despised you and thought that you were the dumbest person he had ever met you always knew where you stood with him.
The problems always came when people thought that he was befriending them. But I'm getting ahead of myself.
Today I just want to give you a brief introduction to Ted through his own made up phrases that he has said to me at one time or another. I have added a little context to them to make them slightly more understandable. enjoy:
- "You are a little man in a big truck" (some sort of insult directed at me)
-"Your job is sucks" (definitely an insult, also aimed at me)
- "I am tired, like a monkey in the rain" (a declaration of tiredness)
- "You think you know, but you don't know" (declaration relating to my lack of understanding a certain topic)
-"It's not easy like you think it is" (declaration pointing to the difficulty of a task at hand)
-"I am a Cowboy. You are a farmer." (I'm not sure with this one. More than likely an insult.)
-"Your house is smells like cats. You don't notice, but I do." (Keen observation/insult.)
Johnny Cash on Sesame Street? It happened. “Don’t Take Your Ones To Town”.
Alright, I think I just added a new tool in my weblog arsenal. VIDEO! I stumbled across this a while ago and loved it, but I didn't really have a way to share with you. Now, thanks to my hard work and dedication, I giive you Johnny Cash on Sesame Street parodying his song "Don't Take Your Guns to Town." I find that the video sometimes locks up on me until I hold my mouse button down. Not sure wh this is happening. I'll have the tech guys look into it. (p.s. I'm trying to find the video of the Rolling Stones doing a 1960s Rice Krispies commercial. Let me know if you've seen it floating around out there. Next step after that: the whole lost Cocksucker Blues documentary about the stones is getting posted when I find it.)
