Comedians in Cars Getting Coffee

Beautiful foreign cars, driving through Central Park, getting coffee with some of the funniest people in the world. I have nothing bad to say about this.

Working Personally With Adam Duritz

I am honored, happy, and have the great pleasure to work with THE Adam Duritz from the Counting Crows on his new tumblr. It's a bit daunting and exciting. My job is just some editing here and there, but I consider it a once in a lifetime opportunity. Check it out here.

I love this, but I can't embed the video (blogger sucks).

Copy/Paste it.

Wes Anderson Commercials

Winnie Cooper's back on the market.

It's okay Winnie, mistakes happen. Just an fyi, you can always call me.

(Fun fact: Google Image 'Winnie Cooper'.  You will notice the photos are either raunchy Winnie from Maxim Magazine or Winnie when she's 11 years old. Creepy.)

Ooooohhh, that '69'

Rats.

Dear Gays, I have some good news and some bad news...

Bad Idea Jeans, not Bad Idea Verizon

 This is a classic 1990 SNL commercial during the probably the best cast in history. The cast was talented and large in quantity, making the environment very creative and competitive. (Click the link below to watch the video).

 This is the new Verizon commercial (below), which is unquestionably a rip off of the SNL parody. Sure it's funny, but I'm sure if I recited a classic George Carlin standup routine, you'd think I was funny too.  This commercial may be effective and sell phones/plans, but I don't have any respect for it. I look forward to Verizon's next commercial featuring their take on the Love Toilet (Youtube it).

Humor in Ambiguity.

I love this scene from The Baxter. About two minutes into it, the cast members sit down (Michael Showalter heartbroken), while Paul Rudd and Justin Theroux play this 'game.' I don't know what it is, I don't know how it's 'won', I just know it's great and funny as hell. And thank you, writers, for not explaining the game to me, but rather just playing it and watching the other cast members earnestly react.

This Photo.

I don't know what this photo is. And like a beautiful piece of art, I don't want to know. I just want to interpret all the loose ends, the juxtapositions, and think of how it relates to me and my experiences.

De Chirico's Melancholy and Mystery of a Street

Prince Fielder gay? Or just curious...

Wow, what a trooper...

I like a great deal, and a free boob.

New Morning by Bob Dylan

Great record. Love it. There are very few Dylan records you can listen to on a Sunday morning. It's true. Highway 61 Revisited for instance. Who wants to listen to Mr. Tambourine Man on a Sunday morning?
But this one's good...

Neil Diamond Shilo Record

I bought this a few weeks back from The Brown Elephant resale shop. I didn't own a Neil Diamond record, but I've passed up a bunch before. This one looked like an early one of his, so I thought what the heck? It's just a buck.

I come to find this is a compilation record from his time at Bang Records. He recorded with Bang from 1966-67, and this album was released in 1970.

It's a pretty great record. It has 12 songs, none of them longer than 3:28. So it's a quick record. I also learned that Neil Diamond wrote Red Red Wine. Nice.

Side one

"Shilo"
"Kentucky Woman"
"Girl, You'll Be a Woman Soon"
"You Got to Me"
"Monday, Monday" (John Phillips)
"Cherry, Cherry"

Side two

"Solitary Man"
"I'm a Believer"
"Red Red Wine"
"Thank the Lord for the Night Time"
"I'll Come Running"
"Oh No No (I Got the Feelin')"

This screenshot I pulled from Huffington Post.

Nice placement, Chase.

The Album, Silver Tongued Devil and I, by Kris Kristofferson

I'm listening to this record like a mother fucker. Love it. Every song. Below are two of my favorites.

70 Year old Paul McCartney

On the second verse, his voice cracks on "Agaaaaaiiiiiiiiiiin!!!"

Fucking great.

Soft Pack Cigarettes

I'm not a regular smoker, but it's hard to not crave a cigarette after the tobacco glorification that takes place in a Wes Anderson movie, Woody Allen movie, or anything French New Wave.

When this happens, soft pack cigarettes are the way to go. Marboro, Camel, whatever. Soft packs fit easily in your breast pocket, and if you smoke enough, you will learn to 'shake' a single cigarette out of the pack instead of grabbing for one out of a hard pack.

Finding Tom Waits records in New York.

Walking down Broadway in Greenwich, we stumbled upon a street vendor selling books, adult magazines, and records.

I hit a gold mine though. Six Tom Waits records to add to my collection for on $25. (Yes, that's Rain Dogs and Swordfish Trombones.)
