Yeah, I know, you're still processing the heavy mental of yesterday's post. So with that in mind I think it’s important to lighten thing up a little, so welcome to Multimedia Thursday™ (a.k.a. Tankboy blathers on and tries to share a couple cool tidbits with you.)
First of all, we have this Family guy clip from last season. I am only posting it because, for some reason, the song is totally stuck in, my and Photogal's, head. We both find ourselves singing this silly tune to the pups about seventeen jillion times a day, often with amended lyrics for added cutesiness / saccharine-overload.
Heh, peanut butter Betty time ... anyway, now let's get a little tough. Remember how I told you Photogal took her vintage BMW to the racing track last weekend to open 'er up and let 'er rip? I went to visit her and man-oh-man did she look tough in her old-school leathers and massive bike surrounded by all the boys in the high-tech riding outfits and little-bitty crotch-rockets. Okay, truth be told, those little bike were incredibly fast (and there were a couple kick-ass girl riding those racing bikes too, as you will see in a second) and it was impressive seeing everyone tearing around the course. However, I think this action shot is just absolutely awesome. Photogal is on your right, and our friend Dawn is on your left. There is almost nothing cooler than some badass girls on some badass bikes.
Hottttttttttttt.
Let's see, what else can I offer you as a brief respite from the, what I am sure are, the pressing issues and important tasks you must complete before the five o'clock whistle? Hmmm. What about a song? It would have to be something that hasn't been blogged to death, huh? Maybe something I discovered through a local music podcast? Maybe something the Market Frenzy guys played a few weeks ago that just totally caught my ear with it’s awesomeness? Hell yeah, that's a GREAT idea! Why don't I post Jesus H Christ and the Four Hornsmen of the Apocalypse's "Connecticut's For Fucking" since that such a fun little tune? That's a GREAT GREAT idea!
I will offer this warning though: "Connecticut's For Fucking" is actually a bit of an anomaly on the group’s Jesus H Christ and The Four Hornsmen Of The Apocalypse album. Overall the group’s songs fall more into a cerebral humorist mode à la They Might Be Giants. Listening to this tune you might think they are a power-pop band fronted by a brassy babe, but you'd be wrong. They're a funny power-pop band fronted by a brassy babe. Get it straight.
So let's see, we've covered video, still photography, audio ... I think that should about do it for today. Tune in tomorrow for the weekend planner (and yes, most of it revolves around The Hideout ... with a late Saturday side-trip to The Continental to see a certain Tank-somebody DJ and drink lots of Marker's.)
This concludes Multimedia Thursday™.
