Alice Cooper

An Average Day in 1985

You think the white dude at the beginning of this video can still get down like that? How tight would that be? Some old white dude gets sauced up at a company party and then BAM the moves come out of nowhere.

Be sure to watch the first ever “gay worm” at the 1:00 mark.

1. What you see is what you hear (no lip-syncing for instruments or voice).

2. If you hear it, at some point you see it (no hidden sounds).

Dock Ellis & the LSD No Hitter

In celebration of the greatest athletic achievement by a man on a psychedelic journey, No Mas and artist James Blagden proudly present the animated tale of Dock Ellis’ legendary LSD no-hitter. In the past few years weve heard all too much about performance enhancing drugs from greenies to tetrahydrogestrinone, and not enough about performance inhibiting drugs. If our evaluation of the records of athletes like Mark McGwire, Roger Clemens, Marion Jones, and Barry Bonds needs to be revised downwards with an asterisk, we submit that that Dock Ellis record deserves a giant exclamation point. Of the 263 no-hitters ever thrown in the Big Leagues, we can only guess how many were aided by steroids, but we can say without question that only one was ever thrown on acid.

Sadly, the great Dock Ellis died last December at 63. A year before, radio producers Donnell Alexander and Neille Ilel, had recorded an interview with Ellis in which the former Pirate right hander gave a moment by moment account of June 12, 1970, the day he no-hit the San Diego Padres. Alexander and Ilels original four minute piece appeared March 29, 2008 on NPRs Weekend America. When we stumbled across that piece this past June, Blagden and Isenberg were inspired to create a short animated film around the original audio.

Better Than Ice Cream, Vol. 54 by Wes Keyes

I’m not sure how many of you are fans of the Irish band The Frames, but… Back in 2005 their lead singer Glen Hansard was in Prague working with Marketa Irglova on a score for the film Beauty In Trouble. They ended up recording some tunes and released a self titled album, The Swell Season, in 06′. It’s been a couple of years and The Swell Season has released another album titled Strict Joy. I’ve been listening to it on and off for the past few weeks and it’s really growing on me. Their voices are amazing, it’s a relaxing and lyrically powerful album.

The Swell Season – Feeling the Pull

Thank You, Google Maps

You are driving a huge red fire truck and you see a granny approaching on her bike. Do you slow down to let her pass? No. Obviously the only move is to blow through the intersection leaving granny to crumble to the pavement.

Google always find a way to be there at the right time.

Risky Business Fail

For the past few weeks I’ve been spending a lot of time attempting to educate myself on the Internet. I’ve Watched numerous video from TED, read countless articles about the health care issues that our country is facing, etc., but I always end up watching a video of someone getting broke off on YouTube.

It’s a vicious cycle.

A Mountain’s Ghost

Visit the top of Adam’s Peak in Sri Lanka and you’ll see a striking sight — at sunrise the mountain’s own shadow is caught in the morning mist before you.

“The shadow seemed to rise up and stand in front of us in the air,” wrote a correspondent to Nature in 1886, “with rainbow and spectral arms, and then to fall down suddenly to the earth as the bow disappeared.”

MTV’s “Jersey Shore”

This might be the most entertaining TV I watch in 2009. It airs on December 3rd and promises to be an in-depth look into the life of guidos. Hair gel, tanning beds, weight rooms, nothing will go untouched.

MTV, I love you.

The Slingjaw Wrasse

The slingjaw wrasse gets its name from its highly protrusible jaws, which can extend out to over half the fish’s total body length. Unlike most other bony fishes, the lower jaw is not firmly attached to the skull. As a result, the slingjaw wrasse can project the upper and lower jaws simultaneously. This anatomical anomaly is employed to snatch shrimps, crabs and small fish out of narrow crevices and from between coral branches.

Crazy.

Till the Casket Drops…

Till the Casket Drops is scheduled to drop on December 8th, but I’m guessing it will leak and drop about a week before that. via The Smoking Section

Trying to impress friends while video is rolling is never a good idea.

Chances are you will end up on YouTube. This is old but really, really good.

Seven-Point Buck Loses Battle With Lawn Ornament

A love-struck buck ran out of luck a week ago. The seven-point buck was killed when it rammed a 640-pound concrete statue of an elk in the backyard of Mark and Carol Brye’s home in rural Viroqua.

Bucks often fight during the breeding season, commonly called the rut. Dominant bucks defend breeding territories and female deer by sparring with subordinate bucks. Antler battles sometimes result in the death of one or both deer, but usually end with the biggest buck winning and the smaller buck high-tailing it out to another area.

Brye said his morning ritual is to rise early and look out at the life-like statue about 40 yards from his home.

Brye said he knew exactly what happened when he saw the statue tipped over. Although they were about the same height, the statue weighed at least three times more than the 180-pound deer. He didn’t realize the buck lay dead a short distance away.

The buck apparently staggered about 20 feet and fell.Brye said the deer shattered its skull. The antlers were still on its head but were dangling. Brye, 58, is considering removing the antlers from the unlucky buck and gluing them on the elk statue as a remembrance of the strange but true story.
