I had previously mentioned that the airing of a commercial for a video game on stage between bands at the Dethklok concert was… unwelcome at best. Turns out that particular part of the show hasn’t been very well received by the audiences at each of their tour stops. I assume the fire that halted a [...]

Josh and I saw Dethklok live on Saturday night. It’s hard to explain the series of mental hoops one has to jump through upon realization that you’ve just paid $50 to see a cartoon heavy metal band play live. I’ve said this before on the HE Podcast, but I enjoy Dethklok in a completely un-ironic [...]
Like, maybe a pig. Earlier this year pioneers of dock-worker rock, Journey, found a new lead singer (their 4th?) by scouring Journey cover bands and karaoke masters on the Youtubes. I’ve done some scientific testing (listening with headphones) and Arnel Pineda sounds more like Steve Perry than Steve Effing Perry (his actual middle name). Just [...]
Drummer drumming to Super Mario 2 music (cant get the embed to work) That was awesome. About a decade ago (in highschool) my friend Justin and I had this idea that we would start a rap group where we spit (hot fire) rhymes over remixed classic video game music. Our names were D. Bugg Mode [...]
Ask yourself this, “How many problems do I have, and is one of them a bitch?”
by Joel on January 16, 2008 at 10:40 amI know this is old, but it pops up from time to time. Feast your optics on “When rappers get a hold of Powerpoint.” Here are a few of my favs from the set:
Jonathan Coulton Live Concert DVD in San Francisco
by Joel on January 15, 2008 at 4:17 pmJust got an email from Jonathan Coulton about a concert in San Francisco that will be filmed for a live DVD. All the best stuff is happening in San Francisco. I’m posting this because I wholeheartedly support the proliferation of JoCo’s musical message of robots parts, mathmatics and self destructive squid love. If you’re in [...]
Robots are everywhere, and they eat old people’s medicine for fuel
by Joel on November 29, 2007 at 4:00 amRemember back when the Simpsons was funny? If you weren’t around in 1996, then you don’t. Supposing you were, remember the episode where Smithers goes on a gay cruise and Homer takes over as Mr. Burns’ assistant, then he punches Mr. Burns and Burns decides to take care of business for himself? Remember how funny [...]
Jonathan Coulton: Zombie Fighting Troubadour pt. 2 (Extinction)
by Joel on September 24, 2007 at 1:15 amAmazingly enough, there actually is a part 2 to last week’s edition of “Jonathan Coulton: Vampire Slayer Zombie Fighting Troubadour.” First thing’s first. The JoCo show last Wednesday at Club Dada here in Dallas was a blast. Jonathan’s performance was fantastic. JoCo is quite different from most comedy/music acts. Jonathan’s songs seem to be about [...]
Jonathan Coulton: Zombie Fighting Troubadour pt. 1
by Joel on September 20, 2007 at 4:00 am(Written Wednesday 9/19/07, which was yesterday) The Jonathan Coulton show is tonight. This means I don’t have tonight to finish tomorrow’s comic. Well, guess what, you nay-sayers (always nay-saying)? I finished it last night! Lube that up and stick it in your corn-tube. This is unusual for me (the finishing early, not the tube part), [...]
Jonathan Coulton in Dallas Wednesday 9/19/07
by Joel on September 17, 2007 at 2:00 pmJonathan Coulton is a personal hero. He’s just some guy from NYC that writes funny songs and distributes them over the internet. Over the last couple of years he’s turned his music into his full time job. He is completely supported by me and you and everyone else that enjoys his music. You’ve probably heard [...]
