Drunk Ewoks

This is the funniest thing I've seen all week. Ewoks behaving badly on the Today Show. Drinking... fighting... humping... moonwalking!

Foo Fighters: Wheels

There are three bands that a small group of my friends will constantly poke fun at: Creed, Nickelback, and Foo Fighters. I'm not so fussed on the first two, but Foo Fighters are definitely a band who have earned their stripes. Great videos that are always eye-catching and original, big hits, and dynamic live performances. In Brisbane, they rocked out for over two hours, including a 7 or 8 song encore. On their upcoming Greatest Hits album, you will find a new single titled "Wheels". From what I've read, President Obama was one of the first to hear it when the band were invited to play a short set at the White House. Anyhow, here's the clip:

Gonzo Doco

If you're looking for a great documentary to while away your time, check out Gonzo: The Life and Work of Hunter S. Thompson.

Apocalypse Now

A friend dropped by the other day looking to borrow a couple of movies. He asked me about Apocalypse Now which I was surprised he had never seen before. Anyone who loves film knows that this is one of the great pictures in cinema history. And once you've seen the documentary Hearts of Darkness: A Filmmaker's Apocalypse, you might just be convinced that it's the greatest. In my mind, it is.

Flame Trees

Music Max is playing 100 Classic Australian Songs as I write this. Here's one from Cold Chisel that gets me every time.....
