Melo’s People of Utah

Anyone catch this commercial at the end of the 3rd quarter in last night’s game against the Utah Jazz?  I’m going out on a limb and thinking The Fans of Carmelo Anthony in Utah did not pay for this ad, nor do they exist.  This video stinks of Nike.   But I like it.

Back to LOST…

I always knew that Jacob looked familiar, but could not quite figure out where I saw him before.  A quick IMDB search produced lots of places, mostly TV shows.  The actor who plays Jacob is named Mark Pellegrino.  He’s also been in some featured films.  Most notably, the Coen Brother’s Big Lebowski.

I have seen this video making the rounds around the interweb.  For those who have not seen it…

And for the LOST version.  Where’s the money, Ricardo?

A couple weeks ago Priest and I scored front row tickets to see Raymond Douglas Davies at The Ogden Theatre in Denver.   After the show, we were still in awe of the awesomeness we had just witnessed.  In particular, the closing number Lola.  It was just perfect.  Somehow, at that moment, I was reminded of Weird Al’s version of The Kinks classic Lola.  Weird Al turned Lola into the Star Wars muppet themed… Yoda.  Truly brilliant.

A quick YouTube search brought us to Weird Al performing not only Yoda, but the even more impressive Queen parody Another One Rides the Bus on The Tomorrow Show with Tom Snyder.  Priest said, “This is the most psychedelic thing I have ever seen.”  Agreed.

My love for Animal Collective’s Merriweather Post Pavilion is well documented. Not only is it my favorite album of 2009, it is one of my favorite releases ever.  Here is their latest video, Brother Sport:

Lyrics: “Brother Sport” by Animal Collective

Open up your, open up your
Open up your throat
And let the all of that time
All of that time, all of that time go

I know it sucks that daddy’s gone
But try to think of what you want
You got to open up your
Open up your, open up your
Open up your throat
Matt

Open up your (Open up your)
Open up your throat

Open up your, open up your
Open up your throat
And let the all of that time
All of that time, all of that time go

I know it sucks that daddy’s gone
But try to think of what you want
You got to open up your
Open up your, open up your throat
Matt

Support your brother (sports brother)
Support your brother

You got to weigh what he said
To help you shape the way you play
You gotta get rid of the mourning
Sort out the habits of your mind

Until fully grown
You got a real good shot
Won’t help to hold inside
Keep it real keep it real shout out
