Three Day Weekends Are Awesome (And so are these…)

Happy Easter all, as today is Good Friday, and long weekends are, as stated above, awesome; I thought I’d give you a quick series of links to things that are also awesome IMO

1) Probot – Shake Your Blood

What’s that you say? Dave Grohl, the talented non-dead one out of Nirvana , later the Foo Fighters, did a metal album? The lead single of which was a team-up with Lemmy from Motorhead and the video featured a ton of altgirl models? Well that can only be a good thing…

2) Academy Award Winning Movie

Trailer poking fun at how damn formulaic Hollywood movies are. “Catchphrase!”

3) The Muppets – Ode to Joy

It’s the Muppets, if you can’t laugh at this, you might well be dead. Check before the smell starts disturbing those around you.

4) Johnny Cash – Hurt

Johnny Cash delivers one of his final releases before his death and makes arguably the greatest cover version of all time. I’m a big believer that cover versions should improve on the original or bring something new to the song. This does both, making Trent Reznor’s dark tale of self-pity into something stirring and emotional on a level beyond most musicians’ greatest dreams. This sends shivers up my spine EVERY TIME i hear it.

5) Nine inch Nails – Closer Vs The unspoken love between Kirk & Spock

Staying on a NIN vibe; NIN’s signature song, with a new video cut together showcasing the sexual tension between Kirk and Spock. What? You don’t see it? Come on! It’s right there!

6) William Shatner – Common People

The Shat covers Pulp’s classic. Just wait for the choir to kick in. Epic!

7) Batman & Superman throwing insults at one another

Remember The 40 Year Old Virgin? Yeah, I know that guy, i know a whole bunch of those guys… Anyway, the film? The scene with Paul Rudd & Seth Rogen (Pre-fame) playing x-box and acting like fratboys calling each other gay? Totally improved supposedly. Here’s the same exchange dubbed over Batman & Superman.

That’s all from me for now, enjoy your religiously relevant chocolate eggs with matching branded mugs.
