On the podcast, we really haven't given out very much information on our opening theme, "This Is Fair Use," which was recording in the standard 25 minutes by the band Hobokamp. Don't think you've ever heard of them? Well, let me lift the curtain and admit that obviously that's myself on main vocals with my partner in rhyme Randy Lewis on all instruments.
I bring this up since Hobokamp's debut CD, God of Lowered Expectations, should be released VERY soon, so what better way to introduce you to our style of musical shenanigans than with our loving tribute to Britney Spears at her most psychotic:
As always, we apologize in advance if you find yourself screaming along with that chorus at work. Stay tuned for more information on how to get our full length CD for free!
Lately Vince McMahon has been a bit busy crying into a pillow filled with what used to be highly profitable stock in World Wrestling Entertainment, so do excuse his tardiness with this festive Holiday greeting:
... I leave you on this ponderment: someone thought Assy McGee was worth ripping off for this once WWE.com exclusive cartoon. Try not to bleed too much from the ear thinking that through.
Merry Christmas, Happy Hanukkah, Kwazy Kwanzaa, and Repectful Wookie Light Day to you all!
To celebrate the holiday, and to give you sorry sorry folks who have to spend the afternoon in a post-present afterglow making small talk with the family, Fair Use Law gives back with our new episode a few days early. So load up the iPod, sync up your iTunes, rue the day you never bought a Zune thanks to those delightful Common commercials, and listen in.
This week Fair Use Law does some investigative reporting for the greater good of the world. The story: the current state of the nation's emergency health care system. Our stake-out setting for this story: my kidney and urinary tract. And our intrepid reporter: a solid, some might say jagged mass of unidentifiable calcium. Sounds delightful, don't it? But keep in mind: I bleed while I peed for your sins, folks. It's a lot like a Passion Play gone horribly wrong...
I would also like to welcome our first reoccurring guest star, not unlike a Tori Spelling dating Screech on Saved by the Bell. We welcome into our tribunal of podcastery this week Skeesix, former lead singer of Connecticut's best garage band of all time, Dirt Conceitd, and bass player for Connecticut's most forgotten about synthrock band of all time, Medicant Downline. Who knows, he might even show up next week, depending on if your definition of "might" is "definitely."
Remember kids: if you aren't a good Christmas Cheetah, Santa won't bring you what you really, really want. But what if you want nude pictures of Cheetah Girl Auto-Tune Enthusiast Adrienne Bailon? Well, sir, the Santa abides.
As bad as that Christmas... carol?... I guess is what you'd call it is, if you really want to gather the last of your Cheetah braincells together so they can have a Cheetah ritual suicide, here's a completely unnecessary Cheetah cover of Route 66 (I hear it's where you get your kicks):
Merry Cheetah Christmas to you and Cheetah yours, Fair Use Followers!
A 13 year old guitar hero prodigy is shown here 100%-ing Devil Went Down To Georgia:
Yes, your jaw will drop watching this kid strum at the speed of a small blender while also hammering on notes 300-400 at a time... not to mention he whips out the Eddie Van Halen double hand fret solo picking mid-second solo.
Another week has come and gone, and as the sun sets, it's time to turn on the podcast. Join us as we walk you and yours through a festive Holiday miracle. The miracle of laughter. The laughter of a small child.
Creepy Gendo Ikari has hit the button, so that means show notes are go!
The Hottest Christmas This Season. Literally, it's flame kissed. Spray this on and I guarantee you'll never go to sleep hungry again.
Long time fans of facial hair will be happy to know they finally have a podcast they can believe in. Tired of bookmarking Blogspot sites? You can now check out this very blog/podcast at WilfordBrimleysMoustache.com. Every time you book that link I promise we will gift the world with 5 seconds of thought on how to stop Diabetes with oatmeal. By 2078 we'll have this thing figured out.
The world getting you down? Maybe you need to be disgusted to be inspired? Let this horrible cover of an already shoddy song be your umbrella-brella-brella:
And I'm sure Baker and Randy thought I sounded like I was tripping balls during the podcast... Little did they know I was practicing for my Flyleaf cover band, Mary Kate Found Out First.
If you notice the right side of this very website, we had a lot of real estate just going to waste with a blank for sale sign on it hanging in the front yard. So we tore down the electric fence (perhaps after first peeing on it) and brought you ever closer into our self-referential life. Want to know exactly what Baker or myself are doing at the exact time we remember to update our Twitters? Then you might just be a twat... away from being in the know!
And like all great stories, we end on the happy ending: my Xbox 360 was taken out, Godfather style, by the New Xbox Live Experience. It turned red faster than a frat guy in a spanking factory. But now that it's back and I'm back to grinding away achievement points, chasing the Gamerscore dragon. If you, too, are addicted to Box, check out Pathetic Gaming With Us for my gamertag info and a snapshot of the kind of games I play. I'm always up for some Rock Band 2 with Fair Use Law's designated metal outfit, Retcon Bomb.
Unfortunately, the internet doesn't find my relapse into addiction as serious a subject as I may, as they have now made a flash game to taunt me. Internet, do you not realize I just spent 3 hours today playing a goddamn Dorito's commercial for 190 gamerpoints? When do I get my intervention?
You are going to see a lot of year end lists that have Beyonce's annoying "Put a Ring On It" video listed as the best video of the year.
They are wrong.
I have even shrugged off my musical preferences to cross emo party lines and pick this gem from Ludo's "Your Awful, I Love You" CD. Here's the rules of engagement, folks:
1. Shoot a video in 1 take 2. Lead singer has a strong Weezer vibe. 3. ... 4. Profit!
Holy expletives, Pac-Man, Fair Use Law is back with another episode which means, in geek otaku speak, it's time for Fair Use Law to level up. Let's go to the always helpful trainer in King's Row, Blue Steel, to see what we get for hard work:
Fair Use Law, in recognition for your contributions to inanity and cubicle lonely killing, I bestow onto you, as the worst possible trainer in City of Heroes, 2 enhancement slots to put into your awesome show notes power.
Damn, I was hoping for Fire Shield but beggars can't be choosers.
Want to kill more time? Someone thought a nude Virgin Mary Playboy Cover was a good idea. The Unstoppable Juggernaut is now the Arrested Juggernaut. Bitch. (Side note: is Garfield - A Tale of Two Kitties really a film role you keep on the ol' resume, Jones?) Our talk of the Guano Apes bred a nostalgia so rich that I completely overlooked Randy referencing their own song lyrics on-air, so for that I apologize by sharing the rare European version of their video (the best one, naturally) to the world:
Welcome ladies and gentleman to the Fair Use Law website for our official podcasting nasties.
For your post-Cyber Monday goodness, please partake in our first episode. I can guarantee it's roughly 99% STD and Stone Temple Pilots free.
As with all future episodes of our merry band, listen in awe as myself, Danger Dan Robinson, my partner in rhyme, Baker, and our producer, the Reverend Randy Lewis spin a yarn that you could knit a deliciously awful Christmas sweater with. Discussions found within include tales about Siena College and their inability to provide beds to their dorm dwellers, Rampage 64, former head cheerleaders becoming strippers and the awkward way of handling the touchy subject of meeting them in public, and, of course, our lord and savior.
Oh, and Cloverfield. We talk about Cloverfield.
If you are still bored at work and can't get enough inanity, by all means check out some of our blogs. Read reviews and recaps of mind numbingly stupid crap over at IceAnvil.com where I suffer for your entertainment. If you want something in a shade a tab bit less masochistic, Baker holds down his own fort over at the The Unwind. If you want to shake your money maker like an annoying talking thumb in a Verizon cellphone commercial, why not check out Randy and my musical adventures entitled Medicant Downline and Hobokamp.
