Hilarious memory, reminds me of my second mushroom trip near the woodland hills country club... believe it or not when everything hit we looked up at a sign that screamed at all of us simultaneously BEWARE OF MOUNTAIN LIONS! at the same time the park ranger began yelling toward us through a hand held microphone amplified so it was echoing through the park that we were trespassing, and we run like completely high morons we were until we got to the sand pit and played there for about 10 seconds or years (but maybe a hour in so-called "real-time"). Here is the memory trigger video by The Illusion (watch his videos, he's online greatness) :

Direct from 1974 and the kindness of Brent Turner, we present the Christmas episode of the Top 40/Sci-Fi radio show The OIDAR Wavelength! The premise? The OIDAR Wavelength is a musical program from the future, playing oldies from the 20th Century, and somehow, we back in the seventies were/are able to hear the program due to some space/time continuum. In between the (sometimes good, sometimes horribly wretched) musical fodder, a mysterious announcer known only as "Programmer #9" relates twisted news and human interest stories from the future, the programs' present. And this is the Christmas episode! It seems that Mr. Turner was at a local swap meet and came across a whole box of OIDAR Wavelength reel to reel tapes! And he sent some programs to me and now I share them with you! Remember, this was originally broadcast in 1974. In Los Angeles, the OIDAR Wavelength aired on KKDJ, a typical Top 40 station, usually starting just after the midnight hour. Included with the broad...

I live in SoCal and no I didn't see the "UFO" sighting this weekend but I have friends who did. They told me "no way that was a UFO."

So there's a lake on a reservation where it is said that a disc shaped object smashed down from the sky into the ice. Military is said to have surrounded the event and is keeping tight-lipped. Plane? UFO?

Guided By Voices made this brilliant song, I think, in 2012. I never knew there was such a great video that accompanied it's brilliance. Enjoy!

What seems obvious is that in the case of UFO-related movie-making the soulessness of Hollywood whereupon an inherent lack of true inventive, independently spirited leaders without any need to appeal to the emerging populace roam, to only put to print and release films that can't capture experienced thoughts, emotions or imaginations for longer than a 30 second sprint. We're left to our own devices when it comes to finding quality soft, melodic or hardcore science fiction. The quality of the hoax is so refined, we've screwed ourselves into balls of tape waiting to be recorded. Sometimes we forget that all we need is the concept simply, cheaply applied before our mind's eye. What we get is garbage, where we are given not only stupid-talk dialogue that is such an under-estimation of our intelligence that will actually make news because he/she decided to not use typical cheesy lines. While everyone was cheering, my teeth were grinding every time Sandra Bullock opened ...

"Media reports indicate that citizens of the central Andes town of Marabamba have been spotting luminous objects in the sky for several days." After closing the proverbial door on UFO investigations, the Peruvian Office of Anomalous Aerial Phenomena Research (OIFAA) has reopened it's doors due to citizen's reports they have encountered a number of unusual sightings recently.

I'm not sure what to make of this video but it's weird. Whatever the case is, it's an interesting trip-out video that will make you wonder what the hell the point of it is. What is the target audience for this film and did it work? 2 + 2 = 5 after watching this.

Every once in a while we're given an astounding amount of information in a very short period of time. It's nice to get what appears as one of those magical space awareness videos as Chris Hadfield reminds us what makes them such mega-mortals. (Or could this be yet another one of them devil's in the details kind of moments? Sheesh, it is NASA, after all!)

Here We Go Magic picked up John Waters in their tour bus while he was hitchhiking along their tour route in Ohio.

You are going to want to up the volume when the music hits...

This song made it's way up to #1 in France back in, I believe 1979 or 1980.

Oh I miss Warren Zevon.  And it isn't what you think -- I never really got him until tonight.  I don't consider myself late to any party, but his genius isn't exactly the easiest thing to get.  Bring Lawyers, Guns and Money is my favorite.  But I'm listening to his whole catalog of songs and it just gets better the more I dig.  I remember back that the only thing I ever got about Warren was his incredible relationship with David Letterman.  Still, I didn't get the music so I ignored it.  Back then as a kid I just shuffled it together with 60's style music electrified for the 80s/90s. When I heard G.G. Allen sing this, I realized wow, this might be a good song to pass along... This is a nice time capsule...
