I'm moving...

...on over to http://elvismeetsnixon.tumblr.com/. I think I almost made it to a year on this Tumblr, but I decided to narrow my focus on to writing stuff rather than just sharing. Although I will be sharing still, just adding more text to my posts. I also wanted a more cleaner blog. So, anyways, head on over there.

I, myself, enjoy Doctor Who. But this is still an interesting nugget.

I never liked DOCTOR WHO. I still don’t. Stop it.

One of my friend’s nerdy brother used to tape it on his VCR every Sunday night on WTTW, the local PBS affiliate in Chicago. One night in 1987 a guy hijacked the broadcast with a pirated signal dressed as Max Headroom. So on Monday morning, we watched this. And every day for like three years. It is still one of the top five weirdest things I’ve ever seen.

It’s my favorite thing about DOCTOR WHO. To this day, I can’t see a mention of DOCTOR WHO without thinking about it. So I think about it a lot because you nerds won’t shut up about it now. It’s utterly bizarre to me that it’s become ‘popular.’ Literally the nerdiest thing  could do in my day was watch DOCTOR WHO and/or still live in your mother’s basement as an adult. 

Anyway, I don’t hold it against you. I wasn’t exactly a jock or anything. My teenage bedroom walls were covered with pictures of Michael Stipe and Morrissey and I loved watching Schwarzenegger and Stallone get all oiled up and fight dudes. 

Anyway… Enjoy this crazy shit. It’s still really fucking weird and unsettling.

This band still put on one of the best shows I've been to this year.

Another song with an early-90s feel.

The comic itself sounds pretty cheesy. But still, it sounds like something, I'd have fun reading, even if it's just me taking in the cheesiness of it.

video: Frank Ocean - Pyramids

Who else to direct the video for Pyramids than Frank Ocean’s usual partner-in-crime Nabil Elderkin? Needless to say this is top-notch material. Full disclaimer: this is “just” an 8 minute video, Frank and Nabil don’t follow in the footsteps of the likes of Michael Jackson and Lady Gaga just yet. We shouldn’t be complaing about an 8 minutes video though, especially of this quality.

Beginning is great.

This duo has really caught my ears as of late. I wasn't sure how to share this song. The video, while still good, isn't exactly how I envisioned the song. I originally envisioned some kind of dancing in my head, not necesarily by these guys, but still. Maybe it's because I've been listening to Glass Candy as of late as well. Either way, the video still presents a different vibe to this song that I'd still like to share. So here's the video as well:
