“Why don’t crazy bands have a transmedia strategy in place? Look at Lady Gaga, the most supposedly cutting edge of all beat-by-the-pound yet somehow infectious pop divas, shouldn’t their fans be given a chance to impersonate her and battle it out with Bayonetta in their Xbox 360s?”

Somewhere in my parents house there is a McDonalds Happy Meal/Halloween bucket filled with M.U.S.C.L.E. men and marbles.

These aren’t them, but I can almost smell the plastic.

Thank you so much Crispy Nuggets for posting this so I can share it with my listeners! Germany successfully cloned a Pat Benatar in the 80s and she came out very, um, German-looking.

“In a free society, people should be allowed to do what they want wherever possible. The loss of liberty incurred by any alternative principle is too high a price to pay to stop people making dicks of themselves. But, if people are using their freedoms to make dicks of themselves, other people should be able to say so.”

Scott Pilgrim vs Comic-Con…

If you’re able to go here, consider my hatred and jealousy of you to be intense.

Hopefully there’ll be pictures of what’s inside later? I hope?

Plumtree - Scott Pilgrim (1997)

This version is cleaner sounding than the EP (like, Matthew Sweet levels of clean), but you can actually hear the backing vocals on it. This is my favorite song right now, and will likely continue to be until September, at the latest!

Edgar Wright VS Bryan Lee O’Malley: The Soundtrack to Scott Pilgrim vs The World (the movie):

“Plumtree: “Scott Pilgrim” The EP version is on the soundtrack, and to my knowledge it’s only ever been on vinyl before! Me & my sister used to have it and I made my own mp3 rip at my friend Carlos’s house, which is the version I sent to Edgar back in the day. Widely acknowledged by experts as the greatest song of all time.”

(You can listen to a vinyl rip of this version at the review he links to)

Metroid (Metroid Cocktail)

Ingredients:

1/2 shot Bacardi Big Apple Rum
1/2 shot Coconut Rum
1/2 glass Kiwi Strawberry Minute Maid (or Kool-Aid)
A little less than 1/2 a glass Sprite
3 Strawberries

Directions: Shake the two rums and Kiwi Strawberry Minute Maid and pour into a lowball glass. Add the Sprite for a bit of flavor and carbonation. Drop in three strawberries as a garnish. If you choose, you can use your ~~ice beam~~ freezer to cool the alcohol before you make the drink.
