Best Musical 2008
Due to a hectic December, current laptop issues, and a two week vacation back east, I haven't been able to be online very much. So at some point I missed this. It's quite fun. Director Adam Shankman and the hilarious people at Funny or Die give us "Prop 8 - The Musical." Featuring a star-studded ensemble of Jack Black, Neil Patrick Harris, John C. Reilly and my favorite Margaret Cho, as well as many others. Enjoy...

For fans of the Pixies and crazy people in general.
Still Picking...
Told you he was crazy! Modest Mouse frontman, Issac Brock, picking with his teeth at a show earlier this year.
And thats how Modest Mouse began...
So you thought that the 2003 MGMT performance was cool? Well check out this rare one from Jeremy Tague's personal favorite, Modest Mouse.
All we need now is rare 1993 footage of Issac Brock and company practicing in the shed he built after police evicted him for living on the second floor of a flooded house. Crazy? Tell me about it. Issac Brock is full of amazing tales. Here's him describing his 10 day stint in jail during an interview with The A.V. Club:
"When I first showed up, there were people who'd try to make me give them my lunch, and I'd be like, "No, get the fuck away from me!!" That worked. The white gangsters were hilarious. I was in a holding cell with three of 'em, and they're all just telling their superthug stories about how they can outrun all the cops. I had no sense of humor, and I was like, "Why don't you guys shut the fuck up? You're in jail. You apparently aren't so hot at outrunning cops." There was this one dude wearing the uniform they give you, and he was like, "All right! These are my new club clothes!" I'm just like, "You are an idiot. Shut the fuck up right now until I leave. This isn't fun!" Here's the rad thing: One of the dudes, this Little Lord Badass, was on the same cellblock as me, and when he'd get on the phone, it'd be, "Dad, you gotta bail me out of here!" It was awesome. Mostly, I just kept low-key. I had some late-40s, freaky, child-molester-looking dude basically saying that he was going to rape me. I sat down and played chess with him, and he was making all these creepy comments, so I was like, "OK, we're done playing this game." —Isaac Brock, The A.V. Club

My Humps Day
Hands down, Beck never fails. Phalco's good friend and official web designer, Joey Maiocco, sent this little ditty our way early this morning. It kills. It straight up kills.
Stay tuned for more Beck fun as it has been announced that he is not doing any type of touring until March 2009. That only means two things; secret shows in L.A. and more awesome videos.

Also stay tuned for the brand new Phalco Films website coming in 2009. Yes, it has been announced...

Let's go to Kennywood Park!
It seems that director Greg Mottola only directs films that oddly have a connection with me. First there was Superbad, where he casted some jerk who looked just like me and now there is Adventureland, in which the entire film was shot in my hometown of Pittsburgh at everyone's favorite Kennywood Park. Looks like another good film for the long awaited 2009.

Time to Check in with Fred Nietzsche...

Phalco Penguins
So for the last three years I have been a huge fan of NCAA '06 Football for the PS2. It came out the same year that all those current NFL bums, Matt Leinart, Vince Young and Reggie Bush, we're competing for the Heisman and finishing their senior year.
A few months back as college football was starting to begin I returned to my second favorite football game of all-time (first obviously being Super Techno Bowl for NES, which I still own) and created a team known as the Phalco Penguins. With myself in the halfback spot, Roach taking snaps and JT out to the left we had a pretty solid freshman quad. Others included; D. Stern at wide out, D. Kasnevich at free safety, T. Kay at thrid string Quarterback and many others of the Phalco Army. We ended our season with a Holiday Bowl win against Nebraska (49-41) and second in the Pac 10.

Last night, after a very tired-some Steeler football game, I spent the evening recruiting, training and preparing the fierce Phalco Penguins for their sophomore season. The schedule is set, the line up is in and the Heisman watch begins with last season's Heisman hopeful, Mike Roach and Phalco's deep threat, Jeremy Tague.
Heisman Watch -- Tague, Phalco's deep threat, may have the best hands in college football.
Stay tuned for more Phalco Football updates as our very own Penguins make their way to an undefeated season and a BCS Bowl!

My Humps Day
With all this Christmas love in the air and the excitement of girls calling you after giving them your number, I thought what better Hump Day treat than this classic from everyone's favorite, Mike Damone. Enjoy...

Tuesday at the fax machine...
While waiting for the fax machine on this low lit flogging day in L.A. I took it upon myself to write down some thoughts. As well as waste a perfectly good piece of fax paper and half of a post-it.
(look at all those grammar/spelling errors!?)

1) Pay your rent.
2) And smile. It's Christmas.
