Amazing footage, it boggles my mind to see Kermit in the ’50s: It’s such a shame that Jim Henson’s deft, pitch perfect sense of humor and imagination died with him. Most things muppet-related have been bland, assembly line, Disneyfied hack work since 1990. Blegh. Kermit the Frog is dead, long live Kermit the Frog. Your [...]

MTV has announced that Beavis and Butthead is coming back with new episodes. Pitchfork has a list of some of their best musical criticism on this page (scroll down on that page a bit to find the full list, excerpted a bit below): “Uh oh…I think this is college music” (during the Flaming Lips’ “She [...]
Conor Friedersdorf thinks the left is better off without Olbermann and not having all the liabilities that come with inflammatory characters: The left has its own malign influences on public discourse. Some are rich and successful. It no more makes sense for liberals to envy the right it’s talk radio hosts than it makes sense [...]
Sam Beam of Iron and Wine: For wider screen video, watch it here instead. Your Thoughts?

Tonight, Dave Smith (our trusty Camels With Hammers webmaster) and I will be heading to see the Rural Alberta Advantage live! Here’s their awesome music: Their first album is Hometowns. Their next album comes on March 1 and it’s called Departing. They have already released the song “Stamp”. Your Thoughts?

A good day for freedom of speech as the censorious FCC loses its case trying to levy a fine for a naked butt on NYPD Blue: NEW YORK – The Federal Communications Commission cannot fine broadcasters for showing a woman’s nude buttocks on a 2003 episode of “NYPD Blue,” a federal court ruled Tuesday, citing [...]
For those of you who find it cathartic to have my beloved Star Wars prequels dragged through the mud cleverly and didn’t think Mr. Plinkett’s two hour evisceration of Revenge of the Sith was thorough enough, here is The Amazing Atheist’s review of it: You can also find his takedowns of the previous prequels via [...]
I had never found Margaret Cho remotely funny before but I love Tegan & Sara just way too much not to find this video incredibly awesome: Margaret Cho – Intervention – featuring Tegan and Sara from Margaret Cho on Vimeo. Your Thoughts?
I am a Star Wars fan and one of the few passionate defenders of the prequels, each of which I wholeheartedly loved the first dozens of times I saw each one. But, if you are going to hate on the prequels, you cannot do a much more thorough, defensible, or hilarious job than Red Letter [...]

Sean Wilentz on how Bob Dylan overcomes the illusions of time: The question of the ballads, though, and why Dylan was drawn to them so early on, is interesting. In Bob Dylan in America I recount a scene where he’s at the White Horse Tavern with Tommy Makem and the Clancy Brothers, and they’re singing [...]
One of the best bands going and a personal favorite: Their brilliant new album is Mines. Your Thoughts?
This made me smile start to finish: Thanks to Pete for the find. Your Thoughts?
These are so hilarious but I feel obligated and embarrassed to admit a good handful of the more melodramatic lines were ones I rather liked when I first saw them. Your Thoughts?
This is a terrific story about the guitarist from my favorite band, Tom Petty & The Heartbreakers, and a remarkable young fan: One night in front of the computer, Griffin was watching footage of a 1985 concert. “And Mike Campbell, the lead guitar player from Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers, came out playing this really [...]
From, via. Your Thoughts?
Yes please! Watch the full concert, filmed October 25, 2007 at Webster Hall, on Babel Music. (And buy their terrific new album Together if you haven’t yet!) The rest of the concert is much better than the song they’re offering as a representative clip (which is one of my least favorite in their otherwise illustrious [...]
Nick Cave’s Grinderman project has a second album coming out this fall a second album coming out this fall and here’s the bizarre video for the first single, “Heathen Child”. Cave has long been drawn to the weird, dark, and outright grotesque within religious ideas and imagery and this weird little song and video epitomize [...]
This amazing instrumental killed live (it was my favorite part of their show) and I love the video: Your Thoughts?
