And apparently, A Certain Ratio frontman Simon Topping is from the north…

She ended the concert I saw by banging on her piano with both hands, muttering "I'm afraid of the KKK" three times, and running off the stage…
The next day I bought Moon Pix because I hoped it would help.

I saw the Chuck Jones documentary they made a few years back at a film festival; they played the scene where Marc Anthony puts the kitten cookie on his back and the crowd ERUPTED with laughter and tears (OK, they were my tears).  It's still the single loudest reaction I've heard in a theater to a movie scene…

Shoot me again!  I enjoy it!  I love the smell of gunpowder and burnt feathers and cordite!

And Nighy was perfect as Slartibartfast…

The thought of trying to finish with "Pressure" in the background makes me chuckle…

Kravitz writes the songs we all wrote our freshman year in college.

Holy shit, I thought I was the only one that liked Days of '49…

This thread's hit the crapper, the crapper…

And I had assumed that after that 15-minute conversation, the rest of the car trip WAS spent in stone-faced silence until Jesse and Celine sort of joked it away when they went into the store with the kids.

At least Fallon's not going to have a Jay Leno 10 o'clock show as a lead-in…

I loved that Norm MacDonald letter; "This is, without a doubt, the best decision ever made by the NBC braintrust…"

Big Steve actually thought Double Feature was going to be a novella, but Owen told him it was LONGER THAN YOU THINK, DAD!!!

And in Step To Me…

The original mix of MF Doom's "Kookies" uses a wonderful sample from Sesame Street, but all I can ever find on iTunes/used CDs etc. is the rerelease with a decidedly less awesome version…

That's probably a Tobin song.

I vaguely remember an old "Yo! MTV Raps" where Fab 5 Freddy asked Spike Lee for his opinions about the then-hot 2 Live Crew obscenity scandal, and Lee didn't answer the question but went off on a tangent about how ignorant Campbell was, so probably no love lost there.

As I was searching Amazon I discovered this year's Looney Tunes Blu-Ray collection will include a bonus set of Tex Avery cartoons, cut-n-pasted below.  Instabuy.

That's just it, it seems like Jones said "fuck Sniffles" at the end and the last cartoons where he becomes this subversive instigator are hilarious.  But the last two or three, as funny as they are, aren't worth the ten or so interminable ones like the one where he tries to stay awake…
