Late Show - Dave on Seinfeld

 

Remember the early 90s? Those were good times...

Youtube Recommends...

 I've been frustrated with Youtube recommendations for a long time. It's not that I hold them responsible for entertaining me, but I've suspected that their algorithm is purposely designed to recommend videos they already know I have no interest in.

With that said, I got a chuckle today as "Himiko Kikuchi - Flying Beagle (1987)" was recommended to me.

In the past I've dipped my toes in the "Japanese Jazz/Funk" genre and enjoyed it. Plus, I'm a fan of smooth music in general (hence the blog title). And I don't usually publicly talk about this but I have a soft spot for videos of beagles, particularly when trying to relax. And so I recognize Youtube's ability to find a recommendation that (sort of) combines these disparate genres into a single file. Hats off to them in this particular instance.

The Gangsta Hotline

 Or... "Gangster Party Line"

Warning for strong language.

This video comes, apparently, from Brent Weinbach, of Time Lord fame.

Marty's Actual Guitar Playing in Back to the Future

 

Someone painstakingly recreates what Marty's guitar playing actually sounded like at the rhythmic ceremonial ritual. We may not be ready for this yet but our kids are gonna love it.

The Penguin - The Escape

 Burgess Meredith (as the Penguin) has a song???

As insane as it is, it's not so surprising. They made records for everything in the 60s. This track comes from an entire Batman album.

The comments section of this video speculates that The Penguin invented Gangsta Rap.

Best of the Worst: New Releases!

 

This episode is notable as, according to Jay's Twitter, it contains the second-worst movie he's ever seen. Further, the panel all agrees it's the worst movie they've ever watched on the show (but that's not so unusual).

Plus: Rich Evans has a new catchphrase.
