Classic Roots Choice #20

Brendan Fraser was on Jimmy Fallon and even though I do not and will never recognize Brendan Fraser as a celebrity, it was great hearing his walk-on music. The Roots played a little of "Degenerated" - the hit single from The Lone Rangers, the fictional heavy metal band in "Airheads". Classic.

Lost - The Theme Song

This is so stupid that I had to laugh. It's the new Lost opening!

Keep an eye out for the upcoming "Lost Nights".

The Downfall of an Era

Apparently, youtube has bowed to movie studio lawyers threatening to sue for copyright infringement over the Hitler "Downfall" parodies.

So obviously there's a Hitler video on youtube about Hitler videos be taken down from youtube. Fun things still happen on the internet. Enjoy it while you still can.

Watch the video here (problems with embedding).

Classic Roots Choice #19

If Michael J. Fox were on YOUR show, what "walk-on" music would YOU play? How about you recreate the guitar solo from the "guitar solo" scene from "Back to the Future"?! You know, the one that takes place at the rhythmic ceremonial ritual! The only possible downside is that it could be too much awesome for the viewer to handle. But they're willing to take that risk. Are you?

Available for a limited time only. Skip to 22:15

FYI - The whole interview is pretty entertaining if you have the time.
