Radiohead - Worrywort

To me, "Worrywort" belongs in Spring, right when things are really starting to get warm.

The Full GD Fenderson Saga

 Blind Mike has started hate watching GD Fenderson's second stand-up comedy special and it's worth noting that there is a playlist for all the clips of him watching GD Fenderson's first comedy special.

Dubbed "The World's Worst Comedy Special: The GD Fenderson Saga," it can be seen here.

Note that the order of the playlist is unfortunately REVERSE chronological order.

I was waiting for a compilation video - that would have been better, but here we are.

Blind Mike - Very Good Chow

Blind Mike and Craig completely dismantle the new cooking show "Very Good Chow" hosted by Craig.

Take 200 lbs of macho, add 1 fake accent and 1 feminine apron. 

In an aged kitchen, combine with mediocre cooking show format.

Sprinkle in swear words liberally.

Skewer and roast for 50 minutes.

Serve.

An Album for Plants

It's a tale as old as time. In the mid-70's, a man with access to a Moog synthesizer made an album for plants and didn't actually sell it, but rather gave it away with the purchase of plants. But then 40 years later it was rediscovered and released for sale. The above video tells that story, the story of Plantasia.

Here's the link to the album on youtube.

And, man, don't sleep on "Swingin' Spathiphyllums," it's a trip.

The Kill Tony Podcast - Trump and Biden

This episode has 29 million views and the podcast is now on Netflix but for the purposes of this blog, I'll assume you haven't seen it because that's the only way this works.

The Kill Tony Podcast is a type of "America's Got Talent" or "American Idol" for stand-up comedy. A bunch of (very) amateur comedians get pulled from a hat, perform for one minute and then get critiqued by a panel of professionals. Although, unlike those shows, it's more of an exhibition than a competition.

In this episode, the panel includes then-nominees Donald Trump (Shane Gillis) and Joe Biden (Adam Ray). It's excellent.

A History of A Day in the Life

A youtuber, David Hartley, tells the tale of how The Beatles' "A Day in the Life" came to be.

You can see more footage of the night of the orchestral recording in the official music video:

Mick Jagger was there but that's not as interesting as the fact that Mike Nesmith was too (2:34, 3:33). The Monkees were a huge influence on The Beatles.

One thing I've heard that isn't covered is that at the end of the song, while the piano is vibrating, you can hear the air conditioning of the Abbey Road Studios kick in. But that may be a myth, I don't know.
