Neverland Auction
 

Comedian Paul Scheer went to the Michael Jackson Neverland Ranch auction and took photos.

Moms On The Net
 

Thanks, Everything Is Terrible, you are the greatest.

My favorite thing about this video is the weird sexual curveball at the end. Reminds me of TEAM KOTU’s Celebrity Apprentice “viral video” for All laundry detergent. Did Clint Black fuck the laundry detergent?

Without him they’re a funk band
 

Here are my favorite moments from a new, lengthy Bob Dylan interview by VH1’s senior VP Bill Flanagan:

What do you think of the Stones?

What do I think of them? They’re pretty much finished, aren’t they?

They had a gigantic tour last year. You call that finished?

Oh yeah, you mean Steel Wheels. I’m not saying they don’t keep going, but they need Bill. Without him they’re a funk band. They’ll be the real Rolling Stones when they get Bill back.

and

Funny thing about actors and that identity thing. Every time I run into Val Kilmer, I can’t help myself. I say, “Why, Johnny Ringo - you look like somebody just walked on your grave.” Val always says, “Bob, I’m not Johnny Ringo. That’s just a role I played in a movie.” He could be right, he could be wrong. I think he’s wrong but he says it in such a sincere way. You have to think he thinks he’s right.

and

Who are some of your favorite songwriters?

Buffett I guess. Lightfoot. Warren Zevon. Randy. John Prine. Guy Clark. Those kinds of writers.

So there you go, Dylan is a parrothead. Read the whole thing here.

After reading the YouTube comments, what I find amazing is the fact that people actually COMPLAINED about the fact that some of this is not perfectly in tune.  Fucking music majors…

Breakfast Time
 

So on the weekends, when you “artists” are sleeping, my girlfriend Erin and I often get breakfast with Adam Kempa and his wife Sarah. Old people do this, and it is a good time.

I checked my voicemail yesterday afternoon, and at some point recently Adam left me a voicemail asking if Erin and I would be interested in getting some breakfast. The voicemail was too good not to share with the world, so here you go:

Put Some Cheese On It
 

I initially thought this was going to be a Beyonce parody, but it turned out to just be insane (via Detroit Gorilla).

Shaye Saint John
 

Will recently sent me a few of Shaye Saint John’s youtube videos. He described them as “inside the mind of Matt Howard.” Accurate.

Japan Photos.
 

Hey dudes. I finally started posting some photos from my recent trip to Japan online. I’m trying to write lots of info in the descriptions, so my plan is to keep adding little batches over time. You can take a look at the first bunch here.
