Thanksgiving

Happy Thanksgiving everyone! Today is a day where families and friends get together and share their gratitude for what they have. I'm definitely grateful for my family and friends and also the internet! With the internet, I can share all sorts of stuff with folks like you, like THINGS I'M THANKFUL FOR! See, it all ties together.

First, cats: A website called Average Cats created a site that parodies the very famous site I Can has Cheezburger and is created by the folks behind My Life is Average. Essentially it's a factual cat image macro site. Pictures of cats with captions on them detailing truth.




Second, books: Apathy and Other Small Victories was recommended to me by friend and former guest Robbie. It's one of the funniest books I've ever read, right up there with Hitchhiker's and Scott Pilgrim. About a dude who wants to care about nothing and hijinks. Please read it.


Third, being alive: Rom Houben was in a car crash and presumed to be in a vegetative state after the fact. 23 years later, they find that he was not, but had "locked-in syndrome" where the patient is "unable to speak or move but can think and reason". For 23 years he was alive, awake and aware, with no way of telling anyone. At least the character in "Johnny Got his Gun" had morse code! Let's all be thankful for being alive and actually living.

QOTSA.

HEY GUYS. What is HAPPENING. So we dunno if you know this about us, but we (Dash and James) share a lot of similar interests. Like certain bands for instance. One of which is Queens of the Stone Age. And we decided to show you guys eight songs by them, four chosen by James and four by Dash. Take a listen and dig it.



"Auto Pilot" - R - This song shows that Nick, former bassist, has a great singing voice. It's groovetastic and takes its time. Also that harmonies are aweeeeesssome.

"Make It Wit Chu" - Era Vulgaris - Sexy ass sexiness. Makes you wanna dance with your person until all your clothes are off. So soft and smooth it's like you're getting a massage from the Stay-Puft marshmallow man. Great slow solo near the end. If this video doesn't get you in the mood you don't have any genitals.

"Go With the Flow" - Songs for the Deaf - One of their more famous tracks, but still incredibly killer. Fast, aggressive and one repeating keyboard note that will not stop. Makes you drive over the speed limit. Also the video is one of my favorites of all time.

"River in the Road" - Era Vulgaris - This shows how "serious" QOTSA can be. This song reminds of someone being paranoid and constantly running. The gutars are so trippy coming in and out all over the place. And Homme's singing is brilliant.

-James



"Mexicola" - Queens of the Stone Age - Starts with this super low, awesome bass. This song is the kind of slow, heavy, funky groove that I like most from the band. It makes me think of walking through the desert and tripping balls simply because the sun is so hot.

"In the Fade" - R - Mark Lanegan is the secret weapon of this band. This song has a pop bent that gets warped by his voice and also probably drugs.

"Burn The Witch" - Lullabies To Paralyze - Billy Gibbons!!!!!!!! I love the march quality to this song. Plus the boogie woogie.

"Mistfit Love" - Era Vulgaris - This song starts out kind of like the Michael Jackson song "Beat It" and then gets even more dangerous. It sounds like Josh Homme is using a rusty nail as a guitar pick. Homme often describes the band as "robot rock", this song is a great example of that.

Enjoy!

Movement!

Hey-o! How's everyone doing today? Well I hope. I would to show you a video I found on the internet. Now, this particular video isn't funny in any way. Nor does it show a person "epic failing." This video shows people (whose faces you never see) doing "things". All of which are random and to most people would seem trivial. This clip is full of kinetic energy and is very interesting to watch, and gratifying I think too. So take a look!
