"The Landlord" starring Will Ferell

The LandLord is the funniest internet video I've ever seen.

Word!

Some time back I switched my allegiance from KQED to KALW. No particular reason. Just that KALW is the little NPR station here. One of my favorite shows on KALW airs on Friday nights at 8:00 PM. The show's called My Word!...a British show where "four professional writers compete for marks by attributing, or rather misattributing, quotations to authors and origins to words, and fumbling through foibled fables".

Joe Frank

I remember the first time I heard Joe Frank. I was working on my Masters Thesis and had an old walkman with a radio propped on the window sill next to my table tuned to KPFA. The program was a monologue in a deep almost conspiratorial voice (as if this person was speaking only to me) intercut with phone calls, voicemails, hypnotic electronic music. I loved it and tried to find it and listen to it every chance I got in those weeks. Cut to 4 years later. I am driving back from work and a Hearing Voices special on Circus is on the radio. The show features a most outrageous story by Joe Frank. I am back in his spell. I seek out his website and listen to all the free shows. You should too.

The bollywood I love

If you were stranded in a deserted island and had to watch two bollywood films released in 2006 to save your life, watch Omkara and Lage Raho Munnabhai. 'Nuff said.
