Three Cheers For Mister McFeely

Attention winners: The mixtapes are in the mail. Let the anticipation mount!

They were a lot of fun to make. Like, "this is probably illegal this is so much fun," type of fun. I can guarantee that Candace is tired of hearing/looking/listening to them by now.* I probably went overboard (okay, so I did go overboard), but you guys are worth it, right? Right?

Riiiiight.

Anyway, they are in the shaking, sweaty, psychopathic hands of the USPS as of this afternoon, so start checking your mailboxes... now!

*You my girl!

Leeches! Leeches I Say!

I am convinced that the people on Extreme Makeover: Home Edition feed off of other people's misery. It is like candy to them. They cannot get enough of it, sad little people that they are.

Also, Ty Pennington's hair and soul patch: they bugs.

Craft Time!

Dude. I so need to make one of these. Maybe two.

Okay, 37.

You Have To Learn How To Die If You Want To Be Alive

We watched the Fountain last night. It has been sitting on our mantle for like, two weeks now, waiting for the right time to watch it.

Wow.

Just... wow.

It's gorgeous, touching and heady. The closest analogue I can think of is 2001: A Space Odyssey only a lot more personable. And intelligible. Life, death, love, conquistadors, bald astronauts and the tree of life. What more do you want from a movie? Really? See it. Now.

DO IT!

I Got Simpsonized

If you head over to the website for the upcoming Simpson's movie, (which may or may not be good... we'll see) you can create your own Simpsons avatar. Here's mine:

The eyebrows are a bit small, and I'm not that tan, but otherwise, it's like looking in a mirror. A big, yellow mirror. A little eerie, actually. If you do one, let me know, cool?

POW! #4 - Random Cleveland

A downtown alley.

Anybody Want Free Music?

Okay, so I'm pimping eMusic. It's true, I have no shame. Anyway, anybody out there want to try this service - which I wholeheartedly endorse, by the way - out? Because if I send you an e-mail, you can get 50 free downloads rather than the usual 25 they use to lure you in. Sorry, let me repeat that:

[a-hem]

YOU CAN GET 50 FREE DOWNLOADS FROM EMUSIC SIMPLY BY SENDING ME AN E-MAIL.

There. Much better.

If you're interested, email me at hello@dylantodd.com and I will hook you up. Because I care.

Well, that and I also get free downloads if you decide to keep the service. Because I have a problem. And I'm okay with that.

Best. Sketch. Ever.

Okay, so I've been searching everywhere for this sketch. It is possibly the best SNL sketch of all time. Seriously. Finally, I have found it. Truly this is the greatest of days. Let us rejoice.

Heavy Liquid

I recently stumbled onto the blog of one of my favorite comic artists: Paul Pope (aka: "Pulp Hope"). Dude can swing some serious brush. There's some pretty pictures up as well as a really cool post about Jack Kirby and the iPhone. Check it out.

"Every girl/That I've seen since/Looks just like you/When I squint."

Art Brut. "Emily Kane." From the album Bang Bang Rock & Roll which is A Big Red Robot Recommended Title.™ It' like Oprah's book club. Only for music.

And not lame.

I am so looking forward to my eMusic downloads refreshing so I can download their newest, It's A Bit Complicated.

Also, as I was searching (unsuccessfully) for the cover for the album (it's got a protractor and a square, get it?), I somehow found this picture which is both hilarious and disturbing. Which makes it... hilariousturbing? Distarious? Histurbinglious? Just look at it and you can tell me:

Uh... yeah. So... yeah.
