Merry Christmas! J.C. honors J.C.

For no particular reason, I feel like sharing this awesome clip from the Johnny Cash Show Christmas Special, which I believe aired in December 1970. This is a live performance of "Little Drummer Boy." I choose this one because as early as I can remember, probably about age 3, my mom had a Christmas album that had Johnny Cash performing this song on it. It was immediately my favorite Christmas recording and I would play it over and over throughout the Decembers of my early years, scratching the needle across the record to hear it again. Then, after Christmas, the record would disappear until the following holiday season, when I would start all over again. I'm sure it was Johnny's deep voice that caught my attention as a toddler, and I'm also sure that this early exposure contributed to me becoming a lifelong fan of Johnny Cash and his music. Now, 30-plus years later, I still love hearing it, even though it is a bit cheesy. But, hey, who can disrespect the great J.C. paying tribute to an even greater J.C.?

Let's film a fucking Winnebago commercial..

Commando the Musical

No I am not joking, and it is actually done pretty well.

Who is Going to Run This Town Tonight? King Hammer of course...

I never thought I would see the day that MC Hammer made a diss video about Jay Hova, but I kid you not one does exist.

Brody Dalle is something...

So, I've always kind of had a thing for punk rawk chicks who are kind of hot, kind of creepy, and who kind of scare me a little bit. I've had an eye on Brody Dalle for a few years, but now she's kind of recreated herself a bit. She started off in The Distillers about 12 years ago, quite young as a punk rawker with a very Courtney Love vibe, except she's better looking and can really sing. Now, she's in a new outfit called Spinnerette, and she can still wail but she looks a little cleaner and sounds a little more poppy. Either way, I'm still kind of scared and kind of curious. I don't really need to worry about it since I'm old, fat and married and she's younger, hot and married to the dude from Queens of the Stone Age.

First, with The Distillers in about 2003... WTF is she singing? That just makes her scarier.

All my friends are murder
All my bones no marrow's in



Now, the newer thing she calls Spinnerette. This one is from 2008. Wonder what sort of appeal they are going for the close up shot of the red lipstick lips singing all of those whoaaaaaoooooaaaooooas?

Boohooo!

Well I feel like shit today, which can be expected when your two favorite football teams get huge wins over there bitter rivals. I will say this email that i received this morning really did cheer me up.
