The Wasteland (Vol. 1)


Tuesday. Whatever. There's no unifying theme (not even a redux (for those that get the joke)) today; just some nonsense I've observed...

If you ever listen to Dudley & Bob (sometimes it can't be avoided), you know that these are two washed-up, former comedians who trot out the same tired routine day after day. It's typical "zoo crew" garbage but they accidentally talked about something half-way interesting today (the Broken Watch Theory, hard at work). They were talking about the creepiest music video in the history of mankind: "Into The Night" by Benny Mardones. It's a lovely, tasteful, yacht-rock-style ballad about pedophilia. No big deal. The Dudley & Bob host who is the broken-down alcoholic, I think that's Dudley, actually admitted to being a fan of this song. Here comes the horror in 3... 2... 1...


Speaking of horror, here's a reunion no one asked for: Veruca Salt are back! To be fair, they did have a few decent songs. Here's one of them...

Ha! Remember when bands used to get budgets for stuff? Yeah, that video was terrible, but what a chorus...


Travis is down with this whole Nirvana nostalgia thing.


The Austin police are going to shoot your dog. Don't believe me? Click on this link to read 82 articles by the American-Statesman about the APD greasing the family pet.

...But it's not all bad news. The Pirates are going to the playoffs for the first time since Barry Bonds was on the team, so that's something, right? Oh, there is one more thing: Trap Them still kicks ass.
