Let’s start off this Friday with something that’s just fun. I had never seen this before, but it’s a total kick, and it’s amazing that this did this entire thing using just practical effects.

Can’t Trust That Day
You never would have guessed I’d been busy traveling all weekend, but I made a ton of content on Friday when I had the time and have been publishing it bit by bit. Today, however, it’s going to be nuts for me, so you’ll just have to talk amongst yourselves or tolerate relatively meaningless posts.

I’ll Give You Fish
Let’s take a music break with my favorite B-52s song of all time. There’s so much to love.
Get Back!
Whoa! How did I not know about this? As big a Beatles fan as I am (it’s pretty much all I play on the bass guitar), I had no idea Peter Jackson was coming out with a Beatles documentary this year (it releases August 27th).

Sixteen Years

(more…)Hangin’ on, hangin’ out
There’s a place for me & you
Hangin’ round, hangin’ free

Perfect teeth a perfect smile
Oh, she was a friend of mine
Let’s go out to the place
Where the hands of time are slowed
No one walks, no one dies
No more hassles anymore
