At least this smelly lookin bastard has good taste in music.
This makes it look all too simple.
Makes me miss living in a place where I can break it out.. I got a musical itch to scratch.
In the meantime, check this out (the new stylophone 2’s kick ass) and try to turn it up:
Kevin (and Mary) brought these by yesterday, and I laughed like an idiot!
Maybe you want to be a cowboy? Maybe you like to litter cigarette butts in the wild west dirt lands? Maybe you like horses? (or in my case) Maybe you have the theme to the Magnificent Seven rolling around in your head?
There are a few video’s here. Just click the forward button to the second one. This is my favorite, because you get to listen to magnificent seven while you watch the guy smoke and look really cool and bossy, then he just pitches his lit cigarette on the ground in disgust! GOD BLESS AMURKA!
1. Christmas in Marlboro country… Holidays aren’t just for booze and overeating anymore. Now you can smoke’m off.
2. My favorite one with bossy litterbug guy, and a very bold rendition of magnificent seven. Like they say, “there’s always time for a break!”
3. Cowboys at sunset. Meh! Looks like brokeback mountain set up.
4. “Morning comes to Marlboro country like the sun does..” (looks great with the coffee and the diabetic old man).
5. Julie London sings to her man in the car about his cigarettes while she drinks coffee from a porcelain cup. Totally believable. She should just shut up and sing my favorite Julie London song, “Hot Toddy”.
6. Heading for the “high?!?!?!” country?!?! what What WHAT?! Good magnificent seven on this one.
7. Where theres a man, there’s a marlboro. Really? Sexist smoking? Look george is a drug pusher. That lady is a MAN! Ralph will be ready to go when he’s done his nic fix.
8. A very touching sappy version of the magnificent seven. This guy is a major f’ing fly fishin loner. He doesn’t even care about grass stains on the ass of his pants when he lounges in the dirt. What a rebel!
9. The Marlboro man sings to you. I guess you can only smoke if you ride horses and work at the crack of dawn. Apparently snow helps too. Wow, roam rhymes with home and home rhymes with roam.
That’s it! Hope you NOW understand why you smoke.
The lyrics of this classic are somewhat kinky….
We can still love it for the bitchin’ drum solo.
Someone needs to remix/rework this!
(for pauly)
I never did voice over work, but I’ve sat at the controls and produced it.
You can see how frustrating this crap can be. I’m amazed at how his personality and tone totally changes when the mic is live. This is hilarious.
Here’s a clip of Ernie from the Mike O’meara Show (TMOS) bonus show (which explains how they get away with all the swearing).
I am moving through the new season of arrested development. Each episode tells the same story from a different character’s perspective. It’s rather unique for a TV series structure.
So far, the greatly over publicized, new season has been interesting, but I got to the 14th of the 15 episodes today and it was a Buster “Mother Boy” Bluth episode.
I had to steal this audio quote of Buster talking to Lucille 2 (Liza Manelli). He’s attempting to move in with her (much like my life is in transition right now) and what he says here had me laughing so hard, I think I almost shit myself.
Listen closely… and if you get a chance to see this or have seen it, from my experience, I backed up the slider on my computer 12 times to re-watch this segment.
HILARIOUS…
Had to share!
Make some drum beats in your browser… (Note: Didn’t work well in Opera).
A few of us have seen this… Many of us have not….
BEHOLD!
For those who don’t know Harmonia, they were part of that early German electronic collective that consisted of Kraftwerk, Neu!, and Cluster(aka Kluster and Qluster).
Harmonia consisted of Hans Joachim Roedelius, Dieter Moebius, and Michael Rother. All of these people affected or played in the big electronic German three above.
For my want, I was always on the lighter side of the German electronic stuff, obviously connected somehow to Brian Eno (of course). I leaned more on the Cluster, Moebius, Roedelius stuff. More atmosphere and shit. I later listened to Neu! and learned how the stuff can rock with teeth. And thanks to MsNeeBo and others, Kraftwerk became the smooth cross over of all of this music. This is how my taste sits. (I’m not going to even start a dissertation on how none of this would exist without the German band Can, but that’s another blog).
So…
I found this Harmonia discography on the web that contained the following track. It is a re-do of a Harmonia song called Deluxe (Immer Wieder). The mix is credited to something called “Post Love Crackers”. I like it. If you are impatient and have the musical attention span of a gnat and wanna groove, bump it up to about 4:20 and crank it.
and because you can never get enough of German men droning, here’s the original. I like it just as much.
Here’s the lyrics if you want to sing along:
Immer wieder rauf und runter,
Einmal drauf und einmal drunter,
Immer wieder hin und her,
Kreuz und quer, mal leicht, mal schwer.
Immer wieder rauf und runter,
Einmal drauf und einmal drunter.
Here’s the translation:
Up and down again and again,
Once on top and once underneath,
Back and forth again and again,
Crisscross, once easy, once hard.
Up and down again and again,
Once on top and once underneath.
