this is awesome, http://www.marketwatch.com/news/story/decorated-new-york-city-cop/story.aspx?guid={2F42FA58-837B-4345-A46F-D2FE9F80A0AA}&dist=hppr. read at least until you discover who’s “voice, trademark mustache, sense of humor, and black leather jackets represented a quadruple-threat of talent”.
rachel, how did this slip under your st louis radar? very disappointing.Â
Brian’s post about creating your own Muppet reminded me of a video I saw awhile back before I was allowed into this elite club. Again like most of the videos I watch it’s on funnyordie.com

I know my posts usually are dedicated to movies (and mocking kevin) but I would like to take this opportunity to discuss my new found love…88.1 KDHX. After scanning the airwaves of STL I had concluded the radio stations here suck as much as they do in Milwaukee, but to my surprise I stumbled upon a diamond in the rough (yes, I am using lines from Aladdin). This listener supported community station is quite possibly the most diverse station I’ve ever laid ears on. I’ve heard everything from African tribal music, Folk, Bluegrass, HipHop, Rock, Indie, etc.  You name it, they play it. In case you want to get in on the grooves, you can listen online at  http://kdhx.org/. None of the hits, all of the time.
ENJOY!
Wassup, here is a just a random list of stuff that I found today. Topless Robot put a list together of the weirdest E.T. merchandise here. Here is a promotion where you can morph a picture of yourself into the hulk here. I don’t know if I would spend this kind of money, but I do think it would be cool to have a personalized muppet. A bunch of bands are making 8 second promos for NBC just doing the three bars. The Flaming Lips are doing one with the help of Wayne Coyne’s guitar made with a guitar hero controller. Here is another cute/funny video for Obama with the Wassup guys. You can have Ellen Degeneres call someone you know for a wakeup call to take pills. And, nope, that picture is not supposed to be an E.T. dildo. (All from Pop Candy, Stereogum, and SomeVelvetBlog.)
Being unemployed is gives me a lot of time to read more music blogs. A new one that I like a lot is Rollo & Grady. They have a couple posts a day, with very listenable music. They have a lot of posts about the Rolling Stones, My Morning Jacket, Radiohead, and The Whigs. The Whigs are another great rock band from Athens, Georgia. The most recent post about the Whigs included an interview with the lead singer, Parker Gispert. Check ’em out. Here is a video from my favorite song of theirs from letterman:
The actual video is pretty cool, but not embedd-able.
