Continuing the theme of yesterday’s song, Ash with Kung-Fu. These Irish lads should watch out before playing this song live in England. Is it more offensive for White kids to sing about Kung Fu movies than a Black guy? One wonders…

Or maybe until next year. I still want to take a couple of business courses and an astronomy course. It’s the only science that interests me. But thank God I’ll never have to set foot in the lang and lit department ever again. That place gives me the creeps. All the Marxist and Feminist zombies […]

Last month some asshole cops in England arrested a man for singing this song within earshot of a Chinese couple. In the spirit, here is Carl Douglas Kung-Fu Fighting! Honestly, I can’t imagine any Chinese people taking offense to this song. Or anybody for that matter.

Days like today I am in love with YouTube. Why? Because it allows me to bring you the all-mighty Low and all 10 minutes of Lullaby.

Awww yeah, Weezer when they were still good. I wish they’d never gotten back together because they’d have two classic albums under their belt and would have been a much lamented band that broke up too soon, rather than an average alternative band that doesn’t know when to quit. Pinkerton is one of those albums […]

One of Smashing Pumpkins weak points was Billy Corgan’s tendency to be melodramatic. Thankfully this is NOT one of those moments. Actually, Gish was pretty free of that kinda thing, but Disarm keeps Siamese Dream from being perfect. Anyway, Snail is one of my all-time favorite songs. I’d highly recommend you go out and buy […]

One of my favorite bands of the early 90s. I’m ashamed to admit that it was only a few years ago that I realized this song is about Audrey Hepburn. Yeah, I’m really lame. Under the cut are some pretty snazzy, high-res Audrey Hepburn images

Oh dear God… I finally realized something today, Yui looks a lot like this girl I like at school. Same hair cut, same hair color, similar eyes and smile. Now K-On! will forever taste of unrequited love. Ugh… As always, the same standard disclaimer applies. I didn’t draw these, found them on /c/, etc, etc… […]
