Booglarize You

Posted on Tuesday, 11/08/05 by Barry's Imaginary Publisher

Lukas writes:

Last weekend I have recorded an old German music TV show from 1972 (“Beatclub”, originally broadcasted by NDR), featuring a song by Captain Beefheart. I have converted that song to an MPEG-4 QuickTime movie.

Long story short: here’s that clip of the Captain singing/grunting “I’m Gonna Booglarize You Baby” way back in ’72 (33mb). I’ll keep this available until Friday while keeping an eye on my bandwidth…
Thanks Lukas!

You Are What You Is

Quite the unbelievable story this: man discovers he’s black at age 26:

When the baby born to two white parents came out black, the secret became a lie. Throughout his childhood, David Myers was told that his skin color was a disease called melanism. He was lucky, his mother said, because the skin discoloration was all over his body, instead of just splotches of brown like most people had.

Whatchamacallit

whatchamacallit

About time I put a Belgian Zappa-tribute band in the limelight. They are Whatchamacallit, and they will be playing the Boogie Woogie cafe in Geraardsbergen next November 26. Must admit I’ve never heard them live but judging from these sample mp3’s they be drinkin’ the magic poshum!

Fart in my comments:

So today’s challenge, O loyal few, is to write down a word, in my comments that will make your work mates scream out: You smelly bastard! Oh Jesus… you dirty little fu… so on and so forth.

And to think I have this guy’s website sitting in my webdev bookmarks folder.

Finally, a healthy alternative for our cannibalistic fellow man: Hufu — The Healthy Human Flesh Alternative. “I can’t believe it’s not people!”

What Barry Needs

Posted on Thursday, 11/03/05 by Barry's Imaginary Publisher

Barry needs backup.
Barry needs a drink.
Barry needs an enema.
Barry needs to wear a suit.
Barry needs to slow down!

At least that’s what Google thinks. You too can waste oodles of time by just typing “{your name} needs” in the Google searchbox — oh the fun! (via presurfer)

Bad Mags

Posted on Wednesday, 11/02/05 by Barry's Imaginary Publisher

Loads of bad and/or bizarre magazines (some NSFW). Reminds me of that Woody Allen movie where he goes in to a magazine-shop, grabs copies of all sorts of intellectual publications and ends up sticking a porn-mag in the middle of the stack. When he puts them on the counter, the shop-owner yells across the store: “Joe! How much for a copy of Orgasm?” See, now that’s the kind of stuff I find funny.
