Watch & Listen: David Cross

Where does this guy find the time? First came the good news about his reunion with Bob Odenkirk on a new HBO pilot. And now we find out that he’s playing percussion and rapping in a hot, new folk act called Hannah’s Field. Check it. The track’s called “Puff, Puff, Give” and it’s got a groove for the body and a message for the mind.*

Watch & Listen: 9/11 Mime

Maybe it’s all the weird politics going on. Maybe it’s the impending doom and gloom in the world financial markets. Maybe it’s the whole Heath Ledger thing and all the odd online memorials to him (who are these people? Did they know him?). But today, we just felt a little blue and needed a pick-me-up. Something fun and silly and innocent. Something like a mime.

So, we Googled one. And guess what we got? This horrible, horrible abomination.

Watch & Listen: Rudy Giuliani

OK, calm down, everybody. Obama fans, don’t get too carried away. He still has to win New Hampshire, et. al. before the Democratic Party manages to derail him somehow. Huckabee fans, restrain thyselves from too much snake handling or whatever it is you do to celebrate. Because, mark our words, Mr. 9/11 is still very much in the race, and he’s still shameless enough to produce what could be the funniest/scariest campaign ad since LBJ’s* infamous “Daisy Girl” spot from 1964.

*note: L.B.J. was a president.

Watch & Listen: Billy Idol

Dear blog reader,

Hope you’re having a happy holiday season so far. You are? Good. Because all that’s about to change. When? The very second you set your unsuspecting eyes and ears on this disturbing rendition of “Jingle Bells Rock” brought to you by Mr. “White Wedding.” Or perhaps after this video takes off, he’ll be better known by his new moniker: Mr. “My Cocaine And Vicodin Addiction Saves Me A Lot Of Money On My Plastic Surgery Anaesthesia Bills.”

Asalamalakem,

Watch & Listen: Aesop Rock

Happy Halloween everybody. To tell you the truth, we’re a bit burned out on the whole thing. We already played dress up and got drunk and told people we’re a Wiccan lottery winner on Saturday night. So, today just feels like postscript. Luckily, we have this spooooooooky new video from Aesop Rock to watch.

Wait for the special appearance by the guy from the Mountain Goats at the end. Does anybody else think he sounds like Dennis DeYoung?

Thanks, Pitchfork.

Watch & Listen: Bouncers

G’day, mates! How ’bout a bunch of bloomin’ onion, hip-hoppin’ bouncers from Melbourne? That’s right. This crew of rhymin’ security guards is straight outta the Outback with an infectious flow reminscent of the late Steve Irwin. Just what do MervDaPerv, Bugzie and Big Bad CC Brown rap about? Surprise! Being unpredictably violent and beating up drunk people. Check dem lyrics:

“Sometimes I feel like some kind of animal/when I get the taste for blood like a cannibal/waving my fists like Ivan the Terrible/thirsty for blood like fucking Hannibal…”

Now go torture your ears at their MySpace page.

Watch & Listen: Andre Legacy

Bragging about smoking crack is tricky. If you’re just joking around, why not boast about smoking PCP, ayahuasca or dried placentas too? If you’re serious, obviously you’ve got bigger fish to fry than having Cisco Adler produce your Beverly Hills-based hip-hop career.

With that said, our man Nick Goossen (who did Smoking Weed for us) just directed this music video for substance abuser/rapper Andre Legacy. It’s called “Bender.”

Watch & Listen: Bearforce1

What’s that? Do we detect an ever-so-faint blip on our gaydar? Is that an ever-so-slight tremor in our gaytrix? Yes, yes. There it is. Something pulsing. Something throbbing. Just below our beltline. Can’t quite make it out, but it sounds…like…house music. And it seems to be coming from these robust, young gentlemen…

Bearforce1? What is that all about? Do they have something to do with training animals to fly airplanes?

Watch & Listen: Tobacco

We’ve recently taken to watching this video every morning in order to get our mouths all limbered up. You know, for whatever the day may bring: chewing, talking, breathing, ____________ (insert disgusting verb here). Also, we love Richard Simmons from the bottoms of our black, black hearts.

A guy from Black Moth Super Rainbow called Tobacco has a new solo DVD coming out called “F*cked Up Friends.” This is the video for the track “Hawker Boat.”
