“You fill me with inertia.”

Woodring, you unhinged genius… Problematic.

From last night’s Strike Debt telethon. Guy Picciotto and Jeff Mangum covering the Tall Dwarves.

Thanks for the video,Kevin Jones. Even sadder that Bill and I will almost certainly miss Jeff Mangum play at One-Eyed Jack’s this January as we cannot wrangle it into our schedules.

Nope. Not given to the Rolling Jubilee yet (but plan to.) I gave to  the Occupy Sandy  on the Amazon registry though.

Much of this show leave me floored with how brilliantly weird it is, but it leaves that hollow ache for sad, dour Howard Moon. The first few episodes had bits that left my head in a strange place, in a good way, but Barratt complements Fielding perfectly. This show may make me laugh, but the Mighty Boosh put me into a happy, safe place.

Jodorowsky and Roland Topor both visible in the video.  NSFW- bare breasts and buttocks.

Boris Vian’s second wife appeared in a film adaptation of The Invention Of Morel, and a YouTube sidebar of Bioy-Casares led to this. It’s pretty good.

It’s Polish psych blues-rock. WFMU’s blog has a profile and some more videos up of them.

(Hey, don’t mind a little Hendrixian “Hey Joe” riff lift.)
