I'd just recommend that particular album, the "Two Minute Miracle" single, and maybe, maybe, if you really like those, the previous album.
Nothing before that is all that good.
Also Tre did that album cover. Because he's a boss.
Speaking of albums, Adventures in Low Fidelity now has demo versions of two tracks. I think I'm perfectly fine with the one, but "Warning to Bad Future" needs some editing, methinks.

Actually, I just meant switching out the link color for something more conspicuous. The rest of the theme is fine, to me.
Okay, for some reason Dr. Joyce Brothers showed up in Beethoven's 4th.
I have to ask: WHY?
She was a minor celebrity in the mid-1980s, and wrote a few self-help books, but by 2001, I doubt even the parents of most of the kids this direct-to-video schlock was made for would remember who she was. I only knew who she was at all because they made fun of her on Nickelodeon in 1985 or so!
In an age before the Internet and just before Oprah (and thus, none of the star-making power that made Dr. Phil a household name), no one would have even cared except a select few stay-at-home moms. Over a decade later, in 2001, only Hollywood trivia nerds like me would have cared. XD

I only even know who Dr. Joyce Brothers is because she was in an "Ask Ashley" sketch on All That like 15 years ago...
There was also a character named "Dr. Joyce Sisters" on one show, but I can't remember if it was Out of Control (the first place I ever saw Dave Coulier) or Turkey Television (which pretty much was All That, but was years ahead of its time -- the kids who had grown up on Saturday Night Live skits were still in diapers, if they were even born yet).

For some reason the mention of Dave Coulier made me giggle.
I've learned to tolerate drama...except on the boat
Was Roundhouse any good? If the Nostalgia Critic clips of it are anything to go by it was pretty different from All That, even though it gets referred to as that show's spiritual predecessor.

I'll be blunt: I loved Roundhouse. I was seriously bummed to see it go. Sure, it was schmaltzy and sappy and the songs sounded like dinner theatre or Christian rock, and the minimal staging was a bit too Our Town for some people, but it had a charm to it that I really liked. (And still being Mormon at the time, I was a bit of a glurge addict.)
As for exactly what it was....it wasn't really like All That at all. The whole show was done on a open set with few props (several of which were obviously improvised by the staff), a lot of improv-ish humor, flats moving around, stock characters, things like that. Each episode had an overarching topic, sort of like You Can't Do That on Television did, and the skits and musical breakdowns all contributed to the plotline somehow. Also, each episode had several songs performed by the cast.
I remember not liking All That at all when it came out. Sure, it was more attuned to the times than Roundhouse was (Roundhouse was the sort of show that would have done better back in the late 1980s, when Nick was still trying to find itself), but I was also going through an "I don't like rap" phase at the time and so the fact that TLC did the theme song (even though I liked them...go figure) and R&B groups I wasn't familiar with were frequent guests kind of turned me off to it.

Once upon a time there was a man who wrote all his own software. Then he choked to death on an exclamation point, and the guys who discovered his dead body decided to just leave him there because it was easier to steal his computer than to call the coroner.
Eventually the software they found on the stolen computer was released publicly as GNOME 3.

It's a mid-1980s promo reel for Control Data hard drives. AND IT IS GLORIOUS. They went to the trouble of high-tech, slit-scanned graphics to introduce each drive, the music is from the Network Music library, and the people taking on camera are all from Minnesooota, eh?
And oh, man, they have a cheesy little jingle at the end, like all good 1980s promos!
As for the drives...I actually had a Wren I at one point in the late 1990s. I found it at the landfill's "Too Good To Waste Place" before they stopped accepting electronics, and I'm pretty sure it still worked. This was the part of Control Data, by the way, that Seagate bought only a few years after this video was made.
The prison system: inherently unjust and inhumane, is the ultimate expression of injustice and inhumanity in the society at large. Those of us on the outside do not like to think of wardens and guards as our surrogates; yet they are. And they are intimately locked in a deadly embrace with their human captives, behind prison walls. By extension, so are we. A terrible double meaning is thus imparted to the original question of human ethics:

I like it fine.
Though, it might just be my screen.
We have minecraft on our Xbox now.
Time to try it out.
See y'all in an hour or two.
The annoying thing is I can never have normal, sexy dreams. My subconscious shoves something stupid in there. Like David Hasselhoff.
So then today I went to work. Right after I got there - heavy rain.
A slightly eerie coincidence. Maybe.
Back from playing Minecraft.
It was pretty fun. Took over a castle I found and made it mah base.
Am I my brother's keeper?
