oldham + galifianakis hip hop it up, for real yo

Rarely do world’s collide so sweetly as they have in this video clip, an interesting interpretation of Kanye West’s “Can’t Tell Me Nothing” by none other than Zach Galifiankis and Will Oldham. Yes, Will Oldham, superlative singer/songwriter/user of multiple monikers (Palace, Bonnie Prince Billy, etc.) and one of my favorite musicians. Another reason to keep him up top my list.
Watch the hotness:

And we may as well see these boys at their day jobs.
Z.G. “You ain’t got no pancake mix”

W.O. “Each heart string of mine is broken in time”

OK, I need more Oldham: “I see a darkness”

Taking Your Shirt Off at the Beach

I should be getting ready to board my Jet Blue flight to New York right about now, but instead, thanks to Mother Nature, our flight is delayed until, let me check the latest, oh yes, 3:04 a.m.
I’ve spent my time in delay so far tracking down this old Saturday Night Live clip, one of my favorites with some all-time greats:Mike Myers, Chris Farley, Dana Carvey. Premise: Woody Harrelson, young and strapping, convinces a group of dudes at the beach to take off their shirts to bask in the sun despite their multiple, grotesque abnormalities.
