I was just in the sun for six glorious days (an electricity-free cabana on the ocean).  It was great to be pretty much totally unplugged (I’ve got a helluva lotta catching up to do regarding the Ticklegate MASSAcre) but it’s good to be back. Thanks to my OUTSTANDING Rumproast co-bloggers for keeping this joint hopping while I was gone.

Erstwhile respected journalist annoying gadfly and attention addict Elinor Burkett did herself no favors on Oscar night when she barreled into “Music By Prudence” director and co-producer Roger Ross Williams and bogarted the mike, but she did assure that a documentary acceptance speech garnered attention, so perhaps she performed a purple-encased act of altruism after all.

Below-the-fold bonus: music from Liyana, the Zimbabwean musicians profiled in the film, verified to be 100% marimbalicious.

I stumbled across two different opportunities to download some rare Jonathan Richman recordings (see below) and got locked into a massive Richman listening session, including revisiting one of my favorite albums of all-time, The Modern Lovers, which I had ignored for way too long. Here’s what I think is an unofficial video for the song “I’m Straight” from that album and three rare live music video that perfectly capture what makes the childlike Richman (and his shows) so special.  Enjoy.

This music video is the creation of director and “pie baker” (WTF?) Molotov Mitchell, who has done work for WND, is a REALLY GOOD CHRISTIAN (he has “ZEALOT” tattooed on his arm), and, according to his YouTube channel, is inordinately obsessed with homosexuals (seriously, just scroll ... TEH GAYS HAUNT HIS HETERO DREAM WORLD!).

The only nice thing I can say about this video is that it’s better than anything the Young Cons have ever done and if that bar were any lower it would be poking up sod in China. And congrats to Islamophobic “Constitution Kate” and birther “The MZA” (Meathead Zipper Attack?) for being two of the whitest people I’ve ever seen in my life. Now everyone point and laugh because pasty wingnuts are rappin’ again! Yaaaaay! [via Instaputz and Wonkette]

After hearing this song by the Heavy, used in a recent Kia commercial, several times in the background as Chris was watching TV on Sunday, it has become a quite pleasurable earwig.  Now it’s your turn…

Not up there with her banjo-on-crack classic “Where Were You Born?”, but enough awful/funny to warrant a post.  You can read the lyrics below the fold, but have someone hide your firearms before you do. Trust me.
