Zach’s Beard
Besides the monologue which was mind-blowingly awesome, Zach’s beard was my favorite part of the episode. 100% greatness. Maybe Seth Galifianakis make some appearances soon.
I filmed this last night at the Best Show On WFMU marathon show, which raised about $72,000 in three hours. If you haven’t pledged yet, please do so next Tuesday, 8 PM - 11 PM EST — the show pulled in a lot of money, but the station is still far off from their goal, and every bit helps. By the way, I agree with Tom Scharpling — “Bottled In Cork” may be the best Ted Leo song ever.
…make that 3 of us.
If you love Tom Scharpling, Jon Wurster, and the Best Show on WFMU, it’s time to once again show your support by pledging in the WFMU fundraising marathon. The station is entirely listener-supported and needs your help to operate. As always, Tom has really come through in terms of marathon premiums. A pledge of $75 or more will get you a DVD featuring Patton Oswalt, Paul F. Tompkins, Zach Galifanakis, Tim Heidecker and Eric Wareheim, Ted Leo, Fucked Up, Aimee Mann, Yo La Tengom Kurt Vile, and many more, plus a set of Best Show trading cards and a bumper sticker, along with a WFMU t-shirt. Please pledge during the show, 8 PM - 11 PM EST, either calling 1-800-989-9368 or online at WFMU.org
GUESTBREAKER: You Got Vajazzled
We’ve been dating a few weeks now and things are getting pretty hot and heavy. One evening, after a terrible movie on the couch turns into a make out session we begin exploring each others nether regions. At first it’s through a few layers of clothes and any oddities I detect are ignored in pursuit of the goods, however, as we get closer and closer to being fully naked together, more and more clues are pointing to something being very wrong in our awkward encounter. I’m unable to focus on what you’re doing as my gaze keeps drifting between your legs in a search for a logical explanation for what I’m feeling. There’s no way this could be natural, right? Even at it’s stubble-iest it would never be this rough… And I’ve seen some pretty terrible underwear choices on girls I’ve been with before, but it really feels as if your bejeweled Hello Kitty thong is on inside out.
We reach the moment of truth and as we slide your pants all the way down I witness a travesty so shocking I let out an audible gasp and recoil in horror; you’ve been vajazzled. What now sits glimmering in your pubic region is tacky ornamentation that shouldn’t be be worn by anyone over the age of twelve, and especially not your holiest of places. As I’m drawn completely out of the moment I realize the other warning signs that I ignored but come to the conclusion that even those couldn’t have prepared me for this. I collect my clothes and make my quick exit and attempt to get a good look at your face in a futile attempt for that to be what I picture when I hear your name and not your bedazzled vajayjay.
Ed Hardy Boyz 2 is about 6 hours long and features some really strange cameos like Fred Durst, Ian Ziering, Pauly Shore, Tom Sizemore, Pat O’Brien and even Mr. Ed Hardy himself Christian Audigier.
RAAAAAAAAANDY MIXTAPE UPDATE
Here’s an update on the Raaaaaaaandy mixtape I’m working on with Dave Sitek. We’ve been working hard on it and I’m very excited. We may not meet the originally announced February 2010 release date, but has any great rap album come out when it was originally supposed to?
If you weren’t aware of this project at all, more info is here: http://bit.ly/7lerqT
Well this should ensure that a whole new demographic of people will yell “RAAAAANDY” when they see Aziz.

SNL - Crisis Of Conformity - Fistfight In The Parking Lot
Saw the tail-end of SNL last night and caught three quality sketches, culminating in this gem starring Dave Grohl. Perfect.
EDIT: Was informed/reminded by a friend (who would perform at MY daughters wedding) that Fred Armisen was a member of Chicago post-punk band Trenchmouth in the early 90s, adding to Grohl’s endless street cred.
