Looks Like Someone Woke Up On The Wrong Side Of The Rock

So, I know this may be a little old by now, and the way MTV operates, maybe it will never happen. But, during the 24 hour Human Giant marathon. Did anyone hear Michael Showalter announced that a DVD set containing the entire series of one of the greatest sketch comedy shows, ever, The State, would be released by MTV sometime this year? The first season has been released on iTunes and is pretty great, but there are a whole bunch of other episodes still missing. Speaking of the Human giant, how about that show. It kicked off with a sick song by Mastodon. Someone needs to give those guys a weekly shows, like Friday at 10pm. I loved how they had live music, and aired old clips of great MTV tv shows and skits. Lets go guys, make it happen. Tom Selleck can't stop you!

And, while we're on the subject of great TV shows, can't believe they are creating a show around one of my favorite TV ad campaigns in recent memory. Yes, the Geico cavemen, are getting their own, tv show. I cannot wait for this show. I think it's going to be hilarious. The summer is dragging on, and really you can only watch so much Top Chef and Yankee games, and contemplate who was in the casket on the season finale of LOST.

The Yankee game on Sunday was fun. I always get a real treat out of seeing the Yankees play the Mets. And, it's not really because of the rivalry, but rather the ridiculous people at the game. There were fights, people throwing beer at Mets fans, and just general idiocy. As I was telling my buddies at the game, it's a lot harder to hate the Mets when one of our own is their manager, Willie Randolph. Plus, I read that 11 page feature on Omar Minaya in Sports Illustrated, and I like the guy more and more every day. And, the Yankees win. Well, we were happy to get the win and skip town with 2 out of 3 versus the Metropolitans.

Listening Pile:
Been rockin that new Queens Of The Stone age album, Era Vulgaris. Not sure why so many critics are hating on it. I love the record. It's not quite as catchy as some of the more recent records, but this one totally reminds me of the R record. Crazy, eclectic jams with strange vocals, strange time changes, ands lots thrown into one song. I like, I like it a lot. Especially love the single, "Sick, Sick, Sick", which is a great rocker. Also, love that they threw in one of my favorite Dessert Sessions tracks, "make it wit chu". That is a jam!
