I watched the season opener of SNL this past Saturday and I was stoked to see that Kyle Mooney has joined the cast.  This guy has been making amazing and hilarious youtube videos for a couple of years now.  I hope SNL uses him right, cuz he will kill.

Here are some of my favourite videos of his.

Oh baby!  I threw a pork shoulder into the crock pot late Saturday night for some Sunday goodness.  What resulted was some pretty delicious pulled pork nachos.

11am Sunday morning.  12 hours of cooking.

Fat and shit ripped out, pulled apart.

Done!

Fkya.

This is pretty damn great.  This is the entire movie Pulp Fiction, told in order or events, and in cartoon animations.  Too cool.

I just took a stroll to Future Shop and picked up the two disc set of In Utero (I plan on getting the vinyl at Encore or Orange Monkey) for a cool 22 bucks.  This album was a life changer, up there with Brighten the Corners and Angel Dust.  I was obsessed with this album back in grade 8, and have loved it ever since. Top 5, to this day.  This anniversary edition, I hope, is pretty cool.  I am excited to crank the new Steve Albini mix in my car, give it the real test.

The only problem now, is do I really need 4 versions of one album on my iPod?





 


Here is the newly released directors cut version of Heart Shaped Box.

I say this every damn time, but this really is the last time I buy this damn movie.  It seems like every year they re release this movie, and I am such a sucker/sheep that I keep buying it.  Maybe its time I sell off some of my old Anchor Bay ones.



UPDATE:  After going through this Blu Ray last night, I strongly recommend not getting it.  Other than the new commentary, which is pretty good, this is a pretty useless disc.  The Night She Came Home doc is ok, but nothing special.  The other short doc on there looks like it was ripped off of youtube, interlaced lines and all, and thrown on here at the last minute.  After that you are left with the same trailers and shit that have been on the previous 59 Halloween DVDs.  The movie looks good, but to be honest, and I know Dean Cundy supervised the transfer, I prefer the previous DVD.

What do I know though?

I am a total nerd for credit sequences in movies, and one of the better ones I have seen recently are the end credits for The Conjuring.  Check out the amazing website Art of the Title HERE to see the breakdown of this sequence.  I want to get into this kind of work in the worst way.

Gary emailed me a photo of another kick ass autograph he got for me from a recent horror convention.  This time its Junior from Last House on the Left!  This will look great next to Hodder and Foree.  Gary also took a kick ass photo with Camille Keaton from I Spit On Your Grave.  So damn jealous right now.

Note: Gary always wears the Last House shirt I got for him to all of these events.  Jackt!

As a bonus here is an older picture of Gary with the mighty scream queen Danielle Harris.  I always had a crush on her, so I felt the need to post this. Jealous.

The big day has come!  Laura finally got a car.  We spent a summer with her using my car to go to work, and me borrowing Pappa B's truck.  Yesterday we picked up Lauras car, and dropped off the truck with a bottle of Brandy for Dad.  She is stoked to have a pretty sweet ride, and I am fired up to have my car, and more importantly, good stereo back.

We pulled up to the dealership and laughed our asses off cuz Shane had the car facing out with a giant tacky bow on it...

...so we forced him into an equally cheesy photo.

Here is a killer jam from Rocktober Blood.



Fastway's Trick Or Treat



And finally this killer tune from Black Roses.  ITS ME AGAINST THE WORLD!!

I have always loved the look and layout of the Arts and Crafts album covers.  The colour striped down the left side leading to the A&C logo, and the two colour sample squares at the top.  This was used on pretty much every album they put out from what I can tell.  Well I was just looking up Buddy Rich, and saw how his first album was reissued on Verve Records back in 1999, with the identical layout!

Hesher's first fall

Pumpkin ales are back!  They aren't even that great, but I am too excited about Halloween that I don't give a shit.

I found this sweet box for my 7"s at Orange Monkey.  8 bucks!  I hope to find another one and make it my dedicated GBV box.

Cranking Jason until Sebadoh comes.

I just got this today!  The 1995 Murder Records classic.  The 8th grader Johny is so jackt right now.  Also, the cassette store day copy of the latest GBV album.
