the worst videos ever

the worst three...here they are...

(in no particular order)

1. one night in bagkok. this was upon ty samson's suggestion. i'm sorry, but chess doesn't need to be paired with rock. or in this case, pop.

2. whatzupwitu. hopefully you don't remember this piece-of-shit (excuse my french) song. you won't even be able to stomach this whole video. eddie murphy sporting a wife-beater. gross. eddie murphy singing. stop. oh yeah, and then there's micheal jackson.

3. we built this city. abe lincoln has a cameo.

4. honorable mention. i can't wait. this is ryan's pick. if you actually watch this video you'll notice a dog with sunglasses on. well, ryan and his sister put sunglasses on while listening to this song right after they bought their first dog, maggie. what a cheese pie.

what's in this stuff?

this guy in dallas, tx who claims to love fitness and beer created a new light beer with "secret" ingredients that are somehow good for people? it's called s+ampede light. the + sign is supposed to represent the additives in the beer which they won't tell you what they are. sketchy i say. the website is pretty much the brewdude talking about how fit he is and how good this beer is. oh yeah, and some pictures of drunk guys and girls. some in the hot tub. and more about how fit he is. his secret ingredient is probably hot tub water or somesing.

are you joking?

since biscuit has an ear infection and is home with his dad, i got a surprise morning off. i just remembered that the dixie chicks album came out yesterday and have been listening to clips on amazon.com. it sounds a bit slower than i enjoy (laura flowers), but i'm curious to hear more of it. so i go on to read some comments about the album and find that despite the fact that they scorned our fair president at a london concert before the war started, their album is #1 in sales right now. i guess some country stations banned their music and the chicks apologized. anyway, i'm not as interested in that as i am in the worst lyrics ever for a song by country singer toby keith. lead singer for the chicks, natalie maines, called the lyrics "ignorant" so i wanted to take a look for myself. (the angry american) courtesy of the red, white, and blue lyrics.

these lines are my personal favorites:

justice will be served and the battle will rage

this big dog will fight when you rattle his cage

and you'll be sorry that you messed with the u.s. of a.

cause we'll put a boot in your ass

it's the american way

i'm waving my american flag right now. how patriotic.

no wallet?

what does this say about ryan...this morning he has gone to the farm. this morning i found his wallet on the bookcase. this morning he has driven and is driving back from the farm without his wallet. this morning i'm going to borrow all of his cash.

crappy video of the week

too good. you don't need to have a good voice to sing along with this song. check out the bling on this mofo.

oh baby you....

i'm taking ideas for the worst video of the month. please, please send them in.

good discipline

i just finished reading an article on eating locally. these folks in CA decided to take some time to eat only food that has come from no further than 100 miles away from their homes. article. this way of eating seems even harder than being a vegan. in kentucky, it would be much easier to do this in the summer and fall. winter might be a killer. it made me think about all the local foods that i've eaten recently: three springs farm eggs, kenny's cheese, bluegrass bakery bread made with weisenberger mill flour (not sure of the source), and greens from our backyard. even though my milk and yogurt are organic, they're from CA. definitely not 100 miles or closer. i'm thinking of taking on this challenge. or at least trying to have a certain percent of the food i eat be from within 100 miles. i will say this, if you're close to lexington and want a taste of some delicious local foods, there's a shindig called the "hamburger hootenanny" at a wonderful restaurant called the holly hill inn on memorial day. $15 dollars a person for local burgers, brats, salads, sides, dessert, fresh squeezed lemonade and iced tea. all local including kentucky ale and equus run wines (not included in price). reservations are necessary.

men with shoulder pads

here's the crappy video of the week. these men are obviously lip-syncing. but they're so hot. and they dance like champions. check out their keyboard player, he has an afro-mullet. very rare. oh yeah, for those that are weak-hearted there's a gratuitous crotch shot, so keep that in mind as you watch this video.

click this link: polly wolly crappy

ugh

i'm done with the today show. they had barry manilow on today and they were broadcasting from a cruise ship. there were actual people in the crowd who were singing along to his songs. who the hell is into barry manilow? what kind of person? my loyalties are with good morning america for the present. paul simon sang on their show. he's not aging well, but he's so much cooler.

three things i want to do with my life

1. join an ultimate frisbee league

2. write music and rock out

3. go climbing

i'm going to try and do all within the next year. if you're interested in joining me, let me know.

crappy video of the week

it's too bad that i know most of the words to this song. since i'm a female i should probably be offended by every bit of this video and song. but listen, anybody who sings a song standing on a giant ass should get a standing ovation, right?

i like big butts video

the chicks

i have to make a confession. i have enjoyed and do enjoy the music of the dixie chicks. it's the first girl band where i was impressed that a chick could play the banjo. they sound good in three part harmony and it's just flat out fun. there. their new cd comes out on may 23. here's a link to a sneak preview and small interview promoting the new cd: amazon dixie chicks taking the long way.

kentucky derby 2006

...here it is folks. another horse race in kentucky. i'm not sure what the best way is to guess at who might win, but here's the list. i usually pick by name. odds might mean something, but name is everything. this year it's going to be sinister minister. who's your pick? maybe we should put some money on this.

sit down. stand up.

i'm not sure whether or not this is the real radiohead video for this song, but it's pretty intense. maybe even ballsy. even if you don't like the band, this video is worth a watch. a well done anti-war plea.

WARNING...there are some graphic/disturbing images

sit down. stand up. video

sera cahoone

if you're a fan of the patty griffin, gillian welch circle of friends then check out this seattle based singer. sera cahoone myspace site.

she's toured with iron and wine. and she looks a little bit like parker posey.

may is crappy music video month

let's thank the band STYX for this week's video

best show...cancelled

after watching the two first seasons of arrested development all the way through, i decided that it was my new fave show. i was going to come home from the beach and actually have a show that i was going to watch every week. well, i got home and found out that it's been cancelled. bummer. why do shows like the "king of queens", "everyone loves raymond", and "american idol" get to stay on tv? oh well.
