This seriously looks like it could be one of the worst movies ever made. This makes “Snakes on a Plane” look like the “Godfather.” Mega Shark Vs. Giant Octopus. Take it in people. I wonder if this is straight to DVD or in theaters? I smell Oscar…

(and by “Oscar” I mean “the Grouch” because he lives in a garbage can, and that would obviously smell. I was not referring however to the the award statue for the Mega Shark’s obviously “award-winning” performance in this fantastic flick.)

The treadmill video from OKGO was iconic. It was right time, right place, hot song all rolled up into one; and it exploded. That could be a death sentence for some bands, but with the video for “WTF” they flex their creative muscles and pull off something again uniquely original. (It’s their knack apparently.) The song doesn’t completely win me over like “Here we go again”, (come on that song was anthemic), but the sequences to “WTF” are mesmerizing and definitely worth a look.

Want to know what you should get someone that already has a snuggie? Kitten Mittens! This spoof commercial was featured in an episode of “It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia” and Charlie here is obviously just trying to make some quick cash from this stupid idea. Lately it seems the stupidest ideas though, are the ones making the most money. ie see slapchop, snuggie, slanket (for people or pets), sham-wow and pretty much any infomercial as of late. But that’s not all…

For this holiday season I wanted to share a Christmas song I wrote a few years ago called “Christmas in My Car.” It’s a little somber and melancholic (like most stuff I write) and reflects the frustration of spending more time traveling to holiday events then actually attending them. Is this completely true? Not really, but it sure felt like it sometimes, and who can’t say they haven’t thrown up their arms, or downed too many eggnogs at this very thought? So here is “Christmas in My Car” and a few other songs from my past project No Kiss for New Years previously released on the albums “Everything Changes” and “We Go Through Phases” two statements that really ring true for me this holiday season. Please download these songs, share with others and have the merriest of Christmases.

Christmas In My Car EP

01 Christmas in my car / 02 Ghosts of the people we were before / 03 Of Course I’d write you (song for a sister) / 04 Laundromat / 05 Barker’s lost beauty / 06 Stutters and signs / 07 Christmas in my car (acoustic) / 08 (blankets and clouds)

He has taken one picture everyday for the last 10 years. Nothing stays the same, even if we wanted it to. Everything changes, and everything moves on.

a funny mock-umentary on the Beatles 1000 years ago. How is that possible? Well this is filmed 1000 years in the future. Well how is this possible? Well someone named Trebor traveled back in time to give me this footage. Oh yeah, it’s authentic, and they got most of their facts right, especially the part about Scottie Pippin.

Do I want to use the words “viral” and “health care” together to describe this video, even though it’s accurate? Yes. Providence St. Vincent Medical Center in Portland, Oregon did a dance in pink gloves to help breast cancer awareness. What they also did was show that their hospital staff are caring AND fun and this video is taking off all over the web showcasing them. For a normally conservative industry this is a bolder move, but one that is embracing how other industries are utilizing the internet and showing that health care can be a part of it. Kudos.

Did not jump on this band wagon, even though one of my favorite bands did the title song. I thought this Cliff Notes version of the movie though is hysterical. (And probably pretty right on.) So if you saw it have a laugh, and if you didn’t catch up.
