Exaggeration Over-Stipulation Drunken-Gyration Pinko-Communism Keepin-it-Realism
Jon Stewart can sleep on my couch and eat all my potato chips any time he wants. After the whole Tucker Carlson thing (if you haven't seen that yet you need to, if you already have, watch it again) , I decided that for sure. So I guess I should mention him here. Although that crazy republican Stephen Colbert is pretty truthy himself. Since when did Comedy Central become a channel for political commentary and innovation? That's a pretty sad state of affairs if you ask me. Oh, but I'm getting off subject. Here's a quick rundown of the rest in shorthand and no particular order:-The people that changed the shit that didn't really change too much in the end, you know who I mean if you know anything at all, they will go unnamed- -Peter Sellers- -Peter Griffin- -Matt Groening- -My friend Joe (so he doesn't feel left out)- -Sacha Baron Cohen- -Julliette Binoche- -Noah Mellehan- -Noam Chomsky- -Oprah Winfrey- -Oliver Sacks- -Art Oliver- -Captain Crunch- -Captain Morgan- -Captain Cork- -Mr. Jagermeister- -Dr. Feelgood- -Dr. Greenthumb- -Bill Clinton- -Bill Murray- -Bill O'reilly, he is in the "no spin" zone- -Ol' Dirty Bastard (A.K.A. "O.D.B.", "Big Baby Jesus", "Dirt McGirt"and I think "Crack Head" was something they also called him)- -Crazy Eyez Killa (he was on an episode of Curb Your Enthusiasm)- -For that Matter: Larry David- -And probably lot's lot's lot's more, but I am just completely beat after writing all of this, thanks for reading my list, for making it all the way down to the bottom of my list you win a special prize, you can claim it by taking yourself out for a nice dinner, somewhere warm, with good appetizers. And get one of those three or four course meals. Bottle of wine (or at least a glass), and buy the good shit. You are worth it. Yeah, I know, I'm a nice guy, I just can't help my self. You can thank me later.
Toots and the Maytals, Midnite, Miles Davis, Burning Spear, Tortoise, Sea and Cake, Bill Frissell, Nick Drake, Manu Chao, Meat Puppets, Gorrilaz, been diggin on some hardcore hip hop lately "dead prez" they rock my whiteboy world-- and of course Britney Spears (her early albums of course, she really sold out on her last couple albums)
Anything with Dancing Dodos in it, Borat was pretty fucking good, I am very glad they made that into a movie and it is doing well, I Heart Huckabees, An incredible doc that everyone who doesn't already know should see called Control Room, Terry Gilliam movies (well, some of them anyway), And I recently discovered the following: -Hanecke is pronounced "Hanukkah" and sometimes "Chanukkah", but his movies are in a realm that cannot be pronounced, just ask any pretentious film geek. -Nicolas Roeg is a rogue man that cannot be tamed by anyone (except David Bowie).
The Office, Curb, Daily Show, Lost is cool getting a little too crazy in my humble, but is still very good, Sopranos Seasons 2-4, The Shield, History's Mysteries (esp. the mayan/aztec ones, but def. not the Loch Ness ones), Lonely Planet, Anthony Bourdain (I like his bad attitude), America's Got Talent (I've never actually seen this but I'm sure it is quality), all the funny ones and some of the others as well.
I rarely read fiction, I wish I read more, but I'm always slowly reading 2 or 3 non-fiction, my faves are: Guns, Germs, and Steel by Jared Diamond, The Island of the Colorblind by Oliver Sacks, The O'Reilly Guide for Kids: a Survival Guide for America's Families by the utmost respectable and never creepy Bill O'Reilly -- Why All Liberals are Stinky Jews by some talk show woman that is really a man... Anne Coulter my sources tell me, that's the one that's really a man (I love her bouncing prose, it has such subtle but undeniable pain)
