It pegged me as a "Creative Rebel Intellectual" ... sounds about right. Though perhaps that's a self-fulfilling prophecy.



2. Conan Ruins Chanukah

Thanks ya big douche.

Three words:

Human. Centipede. Menorah.



3.  Best Music of 2012

It's that time of year where everyone puts out there [FILL IN THE BLANK] of the year lists..

AV Club's best albums of the year list is up... 

Spoiler alert: It's automatically de-credited by the fact that Dr. John's scorching "Locked Down" didn't make the cut. For those of you who don't like "old person" music... fear not, it was produced by and features guitar work from.. that dude from Black Keys who wants to be/looks like a young Trey.



Here's a taste of said album.. it should be played at loud volumes, preferably in a residential area.




4. In Other Rush News...

Rush Finally Did It! Rush, Public Enemy, Heart and Randy Newman Among Rock and Roll Hall of Fame Class of 2013

Written by on 12.11.2012 | R&RHOF, Rush
Big news from the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame has just broken as Rush, Public Enemy, Heart, Donna Summer, Albert King, Quincy Jones, Lou Adler and Randy Newman will be the Rock Hall’s Class of ’13 according to Rolling Stone. In our eyes Rush has been the most glaring oversight from the Rock Hall and we’re extremely excited to see them make it in.

Rush bassist Geddy Lee doesn’t hold any ill will towards the Rock Hall…
“It’s a terrific honor and we’ll show up smiling,” Rush’s singer and bassist, Geddy Lee, tells Rolling Stone. “It made my mom happy, so that’s worth it.” Lee is especially happy for Rush’s army of hardcore fans. “It was a cause they championed,” he says. “I’m very relieved for them and we share this honor with them, for sure.”
[Rolling Stone]
The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame induction ceremony takes place in New York City this year. It will be held at the Best Buy Theater on April 18th. You can watch it on HBO May 18th.

Good for them, but have to say.. an UNDERWHELMING class to be sure. Though I would like to see a Public Enemy / Randy Newman duet... THAT would be good TV..

And of course.. while we're here...

 Those white dudes sure can rock!



Those black dudes sure can rap!


That nerd sure can make fun of people with disabilities!

Tagliabue overturns Saints suspensions















                     
              FILE - In this Nov. 30, 2012, file photo, New Orleans Saints football defensive end Will Smith, left, and linebacker Jonathan Vilma arrive at an attorney's office in Washington, for a hearing on their appeals of bounties suspensions. Former Commissioner Paul Tagliabue, who was appointed to handle a second round of player appeals to the league, has informed all parties he planned to rule by Tuesday, Dec. 11, and his decision could affect whether two current Saints — Jonathan Vilma and Will Smith — get to play out the season.

 Not that I care about the Saints at all.. but glad to see Goodell get hemmed. That's guy just seems like a real douche.

Healthiest State Rankings Of 2012

Posted: | Updated: 12/11/2012 1:18 pm EST

Americans, on a whole, are dying less from cancer and heart-related causes, but at the same time, chronic conditions like obesity, diabetes, high blood pressure and sedentary living are on the rise, according to a new report ranking the health of each U.S. state.


1. Vermont
Vermont was ranked the healthiest state in the country in 2012; it held the same ranking last year.

Not sure how Phish is involved.. but clearly they are... Just like Dog & Saw are responsible for Mass. finishing 4th. Few more gigs.. and we could get that top spot in 2013! Together we can make it happen!

8. Panda Watch

And now.. a lil sumpin for the ladies... (I can hear the collective Awwwwwww'in from here)



9.  Man Up

And now..something for the 'Gents... ( I can hear the awwwww shit! from here) (Creepy dude from Boardwalk as Gen. Zod? Zzzzzzz!)


10. Manufacturing Madness

If this synopsis doesn't get you to click.. I dont know what will..

Manufacturing Madness

A cat dosed with LSD, soldiers used as guinea pigs, and more footage from the military’s secret Cold War research into psychochemical weapons.

The most famous bit of footage in “Manufacturing Madness” is of a cat locked in a cage with a mouse; it is from an Army propaganda reel that was widely circulated in the nineteen-fifties. The cat, once dosed with LSD, appears to run in fear from the mouse; the normal power balance is reversed. “These effects upon the human are substantially the same as those demonstrated on the cat,” an Army official told Congress. But not everyone at Edgewood thought the demonstration was worth much.

“The point of this work is not that the cat is afraid of the mouse but simply that we have changed the normal psychological reaction of the animals,” Colonel Douglas Lindsey, the arsenal’s chief medical officer, told a gathering of military doctors in 1959. “Some cats are not afraid of the mouse, but appear to show deep affection for it, and mother it as a kitten. So much for psychological incapacitation.”


Still other cats grew their hair out into dredlocks, dressed in all patchwork cords, and went on Dead tour...

11. Take 2
