The Essence of Bacon

I went ahead and did the math on this one, it’s 60% movie, 40% credits. To put that into perspective a film like Terminator 2 would have to be nearly 4 hours long and have 90 minutes of credits. Other than that it’s essentially “Soylent Green” with a pig.

Kip Trumbule - In Memorium

Death is private. For those close to the deceased it’s a terribly personal matter. Death is public. Upon passing there are viewings to schedule, obituaries to write, funerals to announce. Yesterday’s tragic news has already spawned more than a few tribute videos. In that same spirit we can now publicy remember Kip Trumbule. Apparently Kip knew his way around a synthesizer, put his foot on a Jeep once, and hung out with a guy that kind of resembled Nicolas Cage in “Raising Arizona”. Rest in peace, Sir.

Alright, I know I’m the new guy, and two posts in one day is kind of rare, but, well, just watch this with your lady and a nice glass of wine. Pull the blinds, Casanova.

Me Singing The ALF Theme Song With Lyrics

Posted February 7, 2007 12:09 PM by Burton (YouTube)
Filed under: 80s, singing, tv

When Woody Guthrie died back in 1967 he left behind hundreds of half finished songs - all lyrics with no music. 30 years later, Billy Bragg and Wilco took up the monumental task of completing these works. In that same spirit, 20 years after it was written, someone has finally stepped up and completed the ALF theme song. For many of us in the mid to late 80’s the lilting timbre of the saxophone was enough to get the point across: An alien landed in the suburbs, he’s reasonably articulate, he likes to eat cats. Try watching the theme today without lyrics, however, and you will probably find yourself lost. God willing, if this man gets the attention he deserves he will finally be able to afford some different picture frames for his wall.
