Yeah, I’m slacking today. Give me a break, I posted twice yesterday. Anyway, I’m not really feeling the blog thing today — I know, I know — but I hate to leave you high and dry. Because really, what else do you have to look forward to in life? So in the interest of Total Laziness, today’s post consists primarily of some YouTube clips. It’s one step above quiz results, and several steps below actual content. Sue me.*
Home Movies was, perhaps, my favorite animated show of all time. It used to air as part of the Adult Swim block on Cartoon Network, but after four classic seasons, it got cancelled in early 2004. Why crap like Aqua Teen Hunger Force captured the imagination of stoners from coast to coast while the smart, witty Home Movies never really broke out is beyond me, but what do I know? I’m just smarter than you.
Good news, though! Home Movies creator Brendon Small has a new show coming to CN in August, called DethKlock (or Metalocalypse, I’m not sure; they keep changing the title). And lucky you! Here’s the trailer:
Scream for your cream, nerds. And be sure to add DethKlok (and Brendon) to your MySpace friend list. As a tribute to the late, great HM, here’s some clips, also courtesy YouTube. (I so need to pick up the Season 4 DVD set — it’s got commentary tracks by members of The Shins and Modest Mouse. How rad is that?)
Enjoy, and I’ll see you Friday! (I’ll be in Manch tomorrow, sorry.)
