Here’s Some Crap We Used To Eat in The Morning: Retro Kids Cereals. Um, hey Kelloggs — and you probably know this by now — but using the word “Log” in any food product name does paint the tastiest picture. {via WFMU}
High-Tech Gossip: Over the years Porn websites have been credited with a slew of technological innovations, now there’s something much much sleazier at the forefront: How TMZ uses tech to get in your face.
Rippin’ Off The Black Man… and The White Man… and Pretty Much Everyone Else: Led Zeppelin: Innovators or Plagiarists? Audio of 8 Songs Proving They Might Be the Best Cover Band of All Time
Another Show About a Dick: Remember Andy Barker, P.I.? Of course you don’t. Andy Richter would be very pleased if everyone forgot about the highly-touted and short-lived yawner about a normal schlub who becomes a private dectective. I only bring up this bit of ephemera because the new Jason Schwartzman HBO comedy pilot reeks of a similar premise:
“…He takes out an ad pretending to be a private detective and starts taking cases — solving some and making others worse.”
I like Jason a lot and would rather see the hairy little fella fulfill one of my wishes and play Keith Moon in a big screen version of the legendary drummer’s life. The project has been in the works for years with Mike Myers attached. Let’s hope The Love Guru realizes he’s a tad too old and casts Jason, who not only plays drums but looks like Moon the Loon.
(Just between us, I carried a photo of Keith Moon in my wallet until my sophomore year of high school.)
