Revenge is a dish best served with country accompaniment

Apparently Dave Carroll wrote the song with his band, Sons of Maxwell, after his 35-hundred-dollar, custom-made guitar was severely damaged during a United Airlines flight, with little sympathy or help from United. Here's the story on the LAtimes site.



As one of the readers posted in response to the story:

"Revenge is a dish best served with country accompaniment."

Happy Father's Day!

Happy Father's Day to all you dads all out there! Especially my own father. :-)

Before you dismiss the video above as just another heavy metal band video, give it a try. I discovered this song by New York hard-rock band Guyz Nite while looking for a Father's Day song to post on my Blip.fm page. It didn't look like my kind of music, but I was amused by the over-the-top opening scene in the video...and discovered that the song was much more entertaining and moving than I expected.



The lead singer's name of the band is Guy Manley, not surprisingly. Heh.

What I also loved about the video: it's clear that these guys are sweet-natured at heart. I must check out their band website and see what else they've done.

"You're my dad
the only one I've had
and if I turn out like you
I'll be glad..."

Looking forward to seeing my own dad later today. We're going to play some music together, cook a meal together, and just hang out.

This video makes me happy

The Kindle 2 and iPod Shuffle perform Wrath of Khan

Thanks to Jeff for pointing me to this video, which will only be amusing to those familiar with The Wrath Of Khan (which happens to be my very favourite Star Trek movie).

:-D

Wolf and Pig

Thanks to Craig for pointing me to this entertaining stop motion animation (with printed photos!):



The version without the irritating ad text is here, but I got a "temporary error" message when I tried viewing it just now.
