Michael Jackson Turns in His Grave: Indian Thriller RULES!! by petersaturday

So yes when you think you’ve seen it all you realize that you have never seen Thriller from India! Jacko has got some tough competition here as this guy surely is stealing his moves! I’m not sure when this happened but I am assuming the 80′s.

Either way it’s quite a new spin on Jackson’s classic-however what if this guy was really the originator?!! Hmm… you never know!



Late Night Laughs… by petersaturday

Well sometimes nights can get awfully boring for a dork late at night on a Monday in 2010. Sometimes even a little bit depressing and you find yourself grabbing a six pack of beer at 11:00 pm by yourself. Tonight I just decided I needed a drink so I got some Pabst and a lemon. Yeah well you know there’s nothing wrong with putting a lemon in your PBR! Really you can actually trick yourself into thinking you’re drinking some rad mexican beer with a little imagination. Anyway that’s a monday night really, what’s supposed to happen right? Let’s face it blogging is alot better with a few beers.

So I was thinking of things that might turn a dark cold rainy night in Portland Oregon a little bit brighter. I found a few clips that I think are pretty damn funny. First up is just a short clip from Family Guy that I think is one of the most funny moments ever put into any of the episodes. Being a big fan of Popeye too doesn’t hurt. Yeah I’m a fan of the live action movie too with Robin Williams. I don’t care what anyone says that movie is epic as shit! After I saw it as a kid I dressed up like Popeye and ran around the neighborhood with a can of green beans (I couldn’t find any real spinach in our pantry) like a maniac! Anway this clip is classic and certainly clears up any rumours about the mystery man that is Popeye…

Next is a clip from a movie that I think is easily one of the most funny movies of all time, Stir Crazy. (more…)

Check out this rare vintage clip of Steve Martin as he impersonates Michael Jackson in Billie Jean on “The New Show” which was a short lived spin off of Saturday Night Live. Classic!!



Prince and Morrissey ROOKIE CARDS? I love 1991 Pro Set Musicards! by 1frombeyond

Back in the very early 90′s, an upstart sports card company was ruling the hobby. Pro Set Trading Cards Inc. started producing football cards in 1989 but by 1991, they were not only doing football, hockey, soccer and racing cards, they were also cranking out the greatest music cards of all time: MusiCards and Yo! MTV Raps.

These cards were awesome then and they’re even more awesome now. I remember buying these up trying to get the George Michael, MC Hammer and Faith No More cards when I was a kid. Some of the other artists that you can find in these sets are Iron Maiden, Morrissey, Prince ( UK set only), Michael Jackson ( UK set only), AC/DC, John Lennon, Stevie Wonder, Madonna, Hall & Oates, The Doors, Slick Rick, Digital Underground, De La Soul, Bell Biv Devoe, Janet Jackson, Public Enemy and The Clash! Check out some of them here:

It seems Corey Feldman has been back in the news again recently with the passing of his ol’ buddy and idol Michael Jackson. I’m sure everyone remembers his phase in the late 80′s when he dressed exactly like him and danced around in “Dream A Little Dream”. I must say the sight of him dancing in that scene in that movie kinda made me wanna vomit though the movie is still a bit of a guilty pleasure. Something that some people don’t really know as much about though is his singing career he tried to launch in the late 80′s and early 90′s. This really just has to be seen to be believed. Sure he had some of those MJ killer dance moves down pretty well but when you put a microphone in his hand (or even listen to his lip sync his pre-recorded song) it becomes a whole different story! So sit back and relax while Mr. Feldman takes the stage with some of the worst pop songs in history…

Everyone used to have a Michael Jacskon doll! They were the coolest ever in the 80′s. Kids all over were getting Michael mixed in with all of their normal action figures-heck I remember even including Michael on some adventures with my giant Hulk Mego! Now that was a strange team up! Since they were about the same size as Barbie dolls the girls would  buy them and before you knew it Barbie would kick Ken to the curb for good ol’ Jacko. It was a tough year for the Ken doll! They were pretty bad ass action figures and had 3 different style ones you could get. I thought it would be cool to post the commercial for this super classic action figure.



Rest In peace Michael…. by petersaturday

Wow. So it really is true Michael Jackson is dead. I was at work today with no internet access and got several texts messages when it happened. So now I am home and saw it on Yahoo’s main page. I have always thought for some reason Michael was immortal. He was like some sort of crazy superhero. Well things got pretty crazy for him in his long career. He made some pretty amazing music, the greatest music video of all time and quite possibly some bad decisions of who he should or shouldn’t have been hanging out with. Anyway we’ll see what happens now that the king of pop has passed away. I just can’t see Michael passing away without some sort of bang. I could see people all over the world getting golden tickets or something much like a modern Willy Wonka or maybe him really coming back from the dead as a zombie. Either way let’s for a minute go back to a simpler time with Ol’ Jacko when he had cartoons being made about him and he was just an innocent kid:



Best HORROR MUSIC VIDEO EVER? Let the debate begin… by petersaturday

I am a big sucker for horror movies and a HUGE music fan too as well. So I began to wonder what some of the greatest horror music videos of all time might be? I know everyone thinks of Michael Jackson’s “Thriller” right off the bat. A no-brainer right? I agree that “Thriller” is the BEST horror music video of all time-right? Hmmm…Well in case you lived in a cave your entire life here it is once again:

But wait, could i be wrong? Could there really be another Horror music video better than “Thriller”?! (more…)
