I just stumbled on this looking through some word documents. I think I meant it to be like a Randy Travis style wistful country ballad. Never got around to writing music for it and I guess I must have just forgotten about it. So maybe now it’s just an early Halloween treat.

Worst Coke Buddies in the World
A friend of mine emailed me this yesterday, and I’ll share it in its unedited entirety, other than a link for clarification, because it’s brilliant. I was just watching the roast of Charlie Sheen, the part I saw was ok, I’m looking forward to Patrice O’Neal (the fat black dude that worked in the warehouseContinue reading “Worst Coke Buddies in the World”
It’s the Stupidity, Economists
The old Clinton campaign adage, it’s the economy, stupid, is obnoxious, off-putting and smug. It’s also wrong. It should read like this: the economy is stupidity. It’s about stupid things sold in stupid ways by stupid people to other stupid people. Capitalism’s success, at every level, is dependent stupidity. A property owner sells land on the bet thatContinue reading “It’s the Stupidity, Economists”
The Worst of R.E.M.
“Stand.” It sounds like a lazy Weird Al parody of a better song. “End of the World (And I Feel Fine).” This is the thinking man’s “We Didn’t Start the Fire” and all parties involved should feel deeply ashamed. “This One Goes Out to the One I Love.” Actually a pretty good song the firstContinue reading “The Worst of R.E.M.”
And One Terrible Picture of Eddie…
Boy, is this ever an early ’90s mess. The only memorable scene in that terrible Tom Cruise Stanley Kubrick movie meets Photoshop V 1.0. Plus, I’m pretty sure that nightmare dancing baby from Ally McBeal is sitting on the white dog.
Awesome Pics of Iron Maiden’s Eddie, Part 6
This is the most amazing album cover in the history of albums covers. Its basically a peek into the collective imagination of the ’80s. You have futureworld dystopia, an alien zombie cyborg murderer, flying cars and roving street gangs (in the form of Iron Maiden themselves); it’s a blender mix of Terminator, Blade Runner, TheContinue reading “Awesome Pics of Iron Maiden’s Eddie, Part 6”
Awesome Pics of Iron Maiden’s Eddie, Part 5
Before I talk about the cover, I’d like to mention how jaunty and upbeat the actual song “Number of the Beast” is. It was a really bizarre decision for Iron Maiden to make it a song about the devil when it could have easily been a Survivor-esque inspirational hard rocker.
Awesome Pics of Iron Maiden’s Eddie Part 4
Do Darwinian principals apply to evil serpent creatures? Because I’m not sure how this Eddie variant evolved to the point of not being able to land.
Metal Week Continues: Awesome Pictures of Iron Maiden’s Eddie, Part 3
Holy shit! There is a cover where Eddie straight up murders Margaret Thatcher. I’m an obsessive collector of transgressive pop culture and I had never even heard of this until I started pulling together random images for this gallery. Some dude on Wikipedia wrote that it was supposed to be a lighthearted riff on howContinue reading “Metal Week Continues: Awesome Pictures of Iron Maiden’s Eddie, Part 3”
Metal Week Continues: Awesome Pictures of Iron Maiden’s Eddie, Part 2
By the fifth Iron Maiden album, the themes for Eddie covers had gotten pretty ambitious. Imagine the brainstorming session where someone said “what if he was an Egyptian Pharoah.” They must have had the best cocaine ever in the history of the world in that heavy metal boardroom.
