How vantastic, it’s Video Vriday! This week we’ve got some videos and some non-videos. I’ll explain. Here’s a video that’s sort of a non-video, by which I mean it’s a visual accompaniment to the Minus 5‘s new song, a nine-minute epic about Michael Nesmith.

It’s Video Vriday! Eat Skull and More
It’s Video Vriday, everybody’s vavorite day of the week! First up is the weird—truly weird—video from Eat Skull, for the skittering, wrong-way-against-the-grain pop number “How Do I Know When to Say Goodnight?” I’m not entirely sure what’s happening in this one, but it’s shot on 82nd Avenue on a particularly grim Portland day, and totally […]

I Was On “Spicy News” This Week and It Pretty Much Sucked
It did not occur to me that eating a habanero or two and then trying to tell topical jokes into a camera would be so… the worst. I didn’t really think much about it. I have my own late-night talk show (Late Night Action w/ Alex Falcone – season two starts in January!), so I […]
