Groovy!

Frequent readers of this site will be aware that Matt and I have a fascination with the Canadian show, The Hilarious House of Frightenstein. We love it. You can pretty much bank on a "GRAMMAR SLAMMER BAMMER!" being tossed out on here at least four teams a year. Anyway. I was checking out the fantastic HHoF webpage today, and I stumbled upon a tasty little nugget in the downloads section. It's a MP3 version of an EP by Johnny Cowell and his Orchestra, with the star of HHoF, Billy Van, on lead vocals. To my great surprise, I noticed that the record is about one of hockey's greatest, and most legendary players, Bobby Hull. The A-Side is the creatively named "The Golden Jet." The B-side is called "The Sawed Off Stick." I had a blast listening to these songs, especially because I kept hearing The Maharishi sing about Bobby Hull (too bad it never made it onto The Wolfman's show). I thought I'd pass it along to hockey fans, especially those old-timers who might remember this 45 (cough, LT). Have a great weekend, everyone!


p.s. go see Superbad.

Anyway. I was checking out the fantastic HHoF webpage today, and I stumbled upon a tasty little nugget in the downloads section. It's a MP3 version of an EP by Johnny Cowell and his Orchestra,

My first reaction was "Why would the Hockey Hall of Fame site have that for download?"

I really need to learn to read for context.
 


Seriously. Go see Superbad. I've haven't laughed that hard in a long time. Nor have I seen a whole crowd that entertained. It was electric in that theatre.
 


When I looked into his eyes it was like I was listening to the Beatles for the first time.
 


Well, I have your information. I'll give you a call.
 


Same-sies!
 


You mean man-penises?
 


Loved Superbad. It valiantly continues in the tradition of Freaks & Geeks/Undeclared/40 Year-Old Virgin/Knocked Up tradition of pure gold from Judd Apatow.

Even my dad, who's pushing 60, really enjoyed it.
 


Completely OT:

Blogosphere Group Seats some time this year?
 


I dutifully saw Superbad as asked, and it was good. The "blow-jay" scene with Michael Cera made me pee.
