Bel Biv Devoe on Late Night With Jimmy Fallon

The weekend is about to start so what better way to get the party started than with some old skool tunes from Bel Biv Devoe. I’m going to DJ tonight at Three Aces and tomorrow at PANIC!. This sounds like good enough music to push me out the door from work if you ask me. Bel Biv Devoe were on Late Night With Jimmy Fallon earlier this week and this happened:

Titan Maximum

The far too short first season of Titan Maximum is out on DVD. I really hope the second season comes soon. This is the first 2 minutes of the series.

There’s seriously a lot to like about this show. The animation is well done, the writing is hilarious and crude, and it’s got awesome references (Voltron, anime, etc..). I hope the Robot Chicken crew get time and budget to make more seasons.

Garrard McClendon

There’s a 43 day countdown on Garrard McClendon’s web site. I can’t wait to see what he’s up to next. Till then, let’s watch his demo reel/greatest hits from CLTV:

Martin Scorsese does Chanel

Martin Scorsese directed this great commercial for Chanel seen on TrendLand. Big surprise to hear the Rolling Stones, but I’d really love to see the rest of the 16mm film that was shot on the Bolex camera.

Simon de Pury

Since Thursday night is the unofficial start of the weekend and I’m in actually in a good mood, here are a few words of inspiration from Simon de Pury and the cast of Work of Art.

I’ll never think of a Renoir painting the same way again. Thanks for that mental image Simon. But I’ll always be bold, creative, and inspired thanks to you.

Work of Art

Art critic Jerry Saltz has an article on New York Magazine’s web site, which you can read here about his thoughts on Bravo’s Work of Art TV show. He’s also got really good recaps of all the episodes up on the site. I really liked the show, despite its short season and I’m glad with how it ended. I’m hoping for a 2nd season, and I hope it comes soon. We need better shows on TV.
Mediaweek put together this interesting video with interviews and clips from the show.

No Reservations

Here’s a widget I found on Facebook for Anthony Bourdain: No Reservation. Being home from work recovering from surgery for 5 weeks this winter, I watched this show religiously and what felt like weekly marathons during the day. I also got into Bizarre Foods with Andrew Zimmern, but that’s another blog. For now, check out Mr. Bourdain’s widget and click on stuff. Go out and eat different food too. Explore ethnic neighborhoods. You won’t be disappointed.

Coffee Explosion!

Thanks to iChat aka AIM and the lovely folks over at Prymal, I bring you The Coffee Explosion.

Watching that video I was reminded of Alexi Wasser, the lovely lady over at IMBOYCRAZY who we know from this lovely York peppermint pattie commercial. This post was brought to you by the word “lovely” and iTunes background music by The Prairie Cartel.

lost in tv

In my post-surgery recovery, I’ve discovered a british show called Modern Toss that’s showing on the IFC channel. It’s pretty hilarious with bits of Monty Python, and lots of animation mixed with live action. They go for a more crude drawing style instead of polish and style, which come out in the writing and comedy. Here’s a clip:

Cowboy Bebop is an anime series that’s still on Cartoon Network’s adult swim. I received the whole series on DVD for Christmas and finished watching it last night. It’s pretty damn good, with bittersweet tones in the story, and an awesome jazzy soundtrack. I wish I had caught on to it years ago but I did see the movie when it came out and thought it was great. I hear there’s a live action movie in the works. I hope they don’t fuck it up, and they pick a good Faye Valentine.
