This has been making the rounds. Though it is funny, everyone that has re-posted it has acknowledged how long ago ninety-fow was in computer years (dave chappelle, that ain’t your wife!); that is, except for the Today show itself (the guy that found it and posted it was fired). I still feel the same way about twitter sometimes.

Yo, Tony!
Podcasts seem to be the gateway to comedy albums for me. I bought a Todd Glass album the other day because it was mentioned on the Nerdist podcast. I can’t remember where I was recommended Hannibal Buress, but I own that one now. Anthony Jeselnik was funny on Doug Loves Movies which led me to buy his album, Shakespeare, that I have now been listening to on repeat. Where as a lot of comedians play the part of an self-loathing, awkward outcast, Anthony plays it super confident. An oversimplification of his style is poking fun at very difficult topics, which can make it tough for some people to get into, but Kevin and Austin, you are probably going to love him:

Through the Grapevine
Friday Fun Stuffs!?!
- I don’t know how this happened, but Bobby beat me to hearing the new Strokes song. You can download on their site, in it’s entirety now.
- Neil showed me the new Black Keys video for Howlin’ For You. I enjoy that they have gotten big enough that they can do whatever they want; and that that they don’t take themselves to seriously now that they are this big.
- No one told me about this, I just found out how Xtina screwed up the national anthem yesterday.
- Pop Candy let me know that the new Lemmy documentary is on VH1 Classic tonight.
- It/she also let me know about the trailers for X-Men: First Class and the Arthur remake.

Death Letter?
White Stripes are over. Major bummer… dude.
Will hearing a snippet of new Strokes compensate?
How about a movie trailer? Â The girl-Hangover movie looks pretty good.
Still not better? Maybe this will help a little:

Rollo-Over
In a somewhat continuation of the Folk-y/Sting-y/Acoustic mood I have been in lately,  I have some more music I wanted to share.  I was pretty stoked with Old Crow Medicine Show’s Wagon Wheel, and am now equally stoked about Angel from Montgomery, which I learned was a John Prine cover from a recent tribute album.  (Rollo&Grady just put up “Lets Talk Dirty in Hawaiian” covered by Those Darlins.)  I guess recommending John Prine is like recommending Steve Goodman or Tom Waits (many people have heard of that person and probably know a song or two), but if you don’t know a lot of John Prine, a couple great jems include Dear Abby, Angel from Montgomery, and Spanish Pipedream.
While I was satisfied with this great cover of the Paul Simon song Graceland, it wasn’t till another post about the best songs of 2010 that I really investigated The Tallest Man On Earth. Â Definitely check out King of Spain.
Too folky? Rollo Grady also has a link to a recent Black Keys appearance on KCRW.
