He made the same joke in a single word. I think that's a win.

I always thought he said "TECHNO" at the beginning of the album, not "Act now!" Hence the Eurodance keyboard vamp.

Happy Frank Zappa Day everyone!

I'm going to throw a vote in for One Size Fits All. That album has my favourite ensemble of Zappa musicians, and a fantastic jazz-fusion feel. Inca Roads is the shit.

I'm happy to see that Papa Gener is getting better. I remember reading various Ween-related forums after the Vancouver show, and while many people were concerned for Aaron, a surprising number of commenters actually seemed to think his meltdown was a good thing, because it was "brown" and "that's what rock and roll is…

I think that's commonly referred to as "Fatwah Envy".

Yeah, it wasn't the song that most people remember them for, but I was seven at the time and I had zero knowledge about any of that. To me it was a fun song with a catchy name, bubble sounds, and a keyboard line that got stuck in my head for days.

Men Without Hats
Pop Goes the World.

I think it's a preview of the lyrics from next year's Weezer album, which will simply be called "clothingtrade.us".

I'd just like to point out
…that bleach and ammonia should never be mixed, even by not-so-dainty women trying to freshen up the cooch. Combining bleach and ammonia will release deadly chlorine gas and other nasty stuff.

I've seen a few comedy shows with Watts on the bill, and he has stolen the show every time. My favourite occasion was when Garfunkel & Oates were going to do a rap but they couldn't get their backing track to play. They put Watts on the mic, and he backed them up with some beat-boxing. It was perfect.

Carnivale
Just re-watched Carnivale recently, and the guy in the nightmare who has the big gnarly tree tattoo covering his chest is pretty badass. And later on, Brother Justin gets the tattoo as well, if I recall correctly.

Uh, yeah. It all makes sense now…

Where did you hear about four more seasons? My sources (i.e., Wikipedia) say they are only on through 2011.

God dammit
Comedy Central have certainly proven themselves to be a bunch of pussies. I mean, I can't blame them for not wanting to be bombed or whatever, but bleeping the word "Muhammad" and ENTIRE final speech, which didn't even mention Muhammad? Fuck them, and fuck the assholes who threatened Matt & Trey.

Bleeps
I think the long bleeps over the "I learned something today" part was one of my favorite parts. I assume that was Matt & Trey making a statement, since they said Comedy Central added "additional" bleeps (meaning there were some bleeps there to begin with).
