I hate to tie myself into standard blogging traditions because I don't ever stick to them. I'm really as random as my blog title suggests.
But I watched a few clips on the weekend that I wanted to share with you all.

Weird Al Yankovic - White & Nerdy
I love Weird Al, and White & Nerdy has been my fave for a LONG time. I think you have to click and view on youtube because embedding is disabled but it's so worth it. Even if you have heard the song already, the clip gives it so much more! Gotta admit I had quite a few "Hey, that sounds like me..." moments during that song.
A friend of ours swears it was written about him haha!

Bloodhound Gang - Screwing You On The Beach At Night (NSFW)
I saw this clip and heard this song for the first time on my weekend and I couldn't stop laughing. The video is a parody of Chris Isaac's Wicked Game clip, and Jimmy has some of the funniest facial expressions I have ever seen. I have no idea how that chick is keeping a straight face.
I need to work out how to incorporate "I know my haiku's are freaking intense, but even the words I made up to sound French, don't express my feelings for your toilet parts..." into my wedding vows somehow. Romantical, yes? Or how about "I would show up for our pottery class, dressed like a pirate with John Water's mustache, On a unicorn that shits your name in stars..." 
Needless to say, It's Bloodhound Gang so probably NSFW.

Korn - Y'All Want A Single (NSFW)
I really liked Korn's first few albums, but not really anything recent. This song really stood out to me though. I have serious issues with the monopolies that various corporations hold in both the music and movie industry. I gotta give them cred for making this clip. I really wish that things would change and artists would get more of their profit without being forever indentured to a label. It's improving slowly with the growth of the internet, and the ability for artists to self publish, but it's still in a really bad way.
WHOA. Serious much?
Sorry bout that!

Pat Benatar - Heartbreaker
This is the song I am listening to right this second. Pat Benatar Rocks. Although she will forever remind me of Fast Times At Ridgemont High. 
Actually, there are three girls at Ridgemont who have cultivated the Pat Benatar look. 
Night peeps, I'm old now so I'm off to bed. Sweet dreams! 
I haven't laughed this much since French Toast!! 

'Kay I'm gonna be totally anal right off the bat here and say that I am annoyed that I couldn't get a completely white background on the above pic without making the little white flower lids disappear. Cute, but now I hate them.
I also hate that Goldie Polishes don't have names. C'mon people. It's not hard. Now I'm going to have to name them myself, and we all know where that will be heading. Somewhere completely inappropriate most likely.
But that's all the hating I am doing on these gorgeous little polishes. These were a gift from Scrangie (who I miss heaps!) and they are almost as awesome as she is. This is only three of this eight pack. Lets start with the red one. First I guess I gotta think of a name.

First up in my newly christened Goldie "LOLWUT
Collection", is "I Got Caught Staring At The Hot Guy's Butt". Cause let's face it. We've all been there. A hot guy walks past you on his way to the bar, you notice that he's a fox and try to watch him without giving yourself away, he orders his drink and your eyes drift downwards. He turns around and you manage the deer in headlights expression before pretending that you're looking somewhere else. In the process you manage to knock your friends drink over and he leaves with a smirk on his face. Fail.
This polish is the exact same shade of red you will turn in this instance. It is beautiful though. I love jellies like this one. Pigmented and smooth. Very even which is rare for a jelly.

This next number in my Goldie "LOLWUT
Collection" goes out to all the fellas out there who have fooled by very pretty gals who aren't quite gals. I call this one "Dude Looks Like A Lady". Ever been working a retail job and serving what appears to be an attractive woman only to have her ask in a deep gravelly voice "How much'll that be darl"?

Yes. LOL WUT?
I had a male friend in high school who once told us that he thought the chick from Placebo was a bit of alright. We let him prattle on for half an hour before telling him it was a dude. He didn't live that one down for quite a while.
This is a fuchsia foil/jelly/shimmer/I really don't know. I love foils. And shimmers. Goldie does great ones. Not much more to say really. This is really nice. Well done Goldie. *gives a sticker and a pat on the head*
Who the hell makes Goldie by the way? I swear I knew and I have somehow forgotten. Must be the carb coma I am in as a sit and write this. MMM potato.

Final entry in this collection is a lovely blue holo that I'm calling "A Bit Chilly In Here". The sun is shining and you decide to head out without a jacket, then that blasted cool change hits and all of a sudden you're happy to see everyone. You spend the next four hours uncomfortably trying to cross your arms over your girls, and everyone around you knows that you're attempting to hide the high beams but says nothing, except for that one guy who watches you with this face:
waiting for you to have to move an arm to scratch or reach for a drink. Pervert.
Goldie does good jellies as you can plainly see, and I gotta say that I don't really mind the VNL with this number. Even though my nail beds are horribly uneven and rather crap. I still feel somewhat covered by the awesomeness of this shade. This is three coats.
I was going make a seperate music related post, but I figured since we've all come this far I might as well tack this on to the end. I turned Genius on within my itunes. Here's the first five songs it picked out for me. Cos getting to know you posts are FUN!

NO REALLY! I mean it!

Where did you all go? Do you all only want me for my nails and my stash? I'm crushed. CRUSHED.

Skid Row - Youth Gone Wild
Sebastian Bach fits into my "Dude Looks Like A Lady" analogy.
SEE WHAT I DID THERE?

The Cure - Let's Go To Bed
I have kind of a crush on Robert Smith. Holy shit I have a crush on EVERYONE. (I have a crush on every boy!) My fave Cure song would have to be Burn though. Amazing.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P9BfvPjsXXw
Nine Inch Nails - We're In This Together
This song grabs my heartstrings. I'm not sure if it is absolutely beautiful or incredibly creepy. Bit o' trivia for y'all, Trent Reznor is a shortass (that's so not PC of me!) and all the people running with him are shorter to make him look normal sized. I think he's like 5'4" or something? Midget hotness. (Even more un-PC
)

Static-X - I'm With Stupid
I think embedding is disabled so you have to go to the youtube page to see it, but it's worth it. This is one of my fave videos of all time.
Even though I have no idea what it's about.
Wayne Static has the greatest hair EVER.

Foo Fighters - Hey, Johnny Park!
This song wasn't a single and it has no video, but it is hands down my favorite Foo Fighters song ever. I went to both Sydney shows in 2008 and on the second night they played this in the encore. I nearly lost my mind!
Well this "quickie" post has now taken an hour and a half of my night. Have a good weekend everyone!
Holy *&&*%&^ Joan looked badass in this clip. Great cover too.
I'm a big Joan Jett fan, so needless to say I'm less than thrilled that Kristen Stewart is playing her in the upcoming Runaways bio clip. They attempted to make a Runaways movie before in the past - 1984's Du-beat-e-o. It started out as a film called "We're all Crazy Now" and got canned partway through. Unfortunately for Joan, she was the only one who signed on the dotted line and so then footage of her was spliced into a new completely nonsensical movie called Du-beat-e-o. I haven't seen it, but I want to. It sounds horrible. I love that shit.
But if you think Stewart cast as Joan casting is bad, Dakota Fanning is Cherie Currie and the girl who played Laurie in the disastrous new Halloween movies is Lita Ford. 
But nevertheless, Joan circa her Dirty Deeds cover was a total fox and I loved that hair so much I cut mine the same a while back.

What do you guys reckon? A little black eye makeup, a guitar and a black tank and I'd be totally rockin! 
I need a haircut again. It's now VERY long. I'm contemplating cutting it all off again, but I know I'll whine about it if I do.
*sigh*
As Natalie Sands would say while picking from her 1000's of outfits..."Decisions are the worst."
FRIDAY... I AM HERE AND WAITING!!! BRING ON YOUR AWESOMENESS!
OMFG I love KISS.

Yeah I know its like Thursday now, but gimme a break. I started this on Monday... and you know how it is.
The Lonely Island may be the greatest fake MC's on earth, but for the title of greatest fake rock band in history, there is simply no competition. It's gotta be Spinal Tap. Big Bottom is one of my Spinal Tap faves and no matter how many times I hear it, "mudflaps" and "bumcakes" somehow never become any less hilarious.
If you haven't seen "This Is Spinal Tap", first of all I'd like to enquire as to what rock you've been living under for the last 25 years and secondly I would like to suggest that you drop everything and go watch it now.
The year is 1982 and Martin Di Bergi (Rob Reiner) is a documentary filmmaker who accompanies the world's loudest band, Spinal Tap on their American comeback tour. Dave St Hubbins, Derek Smalls and Nigel Tufnel (Michael McKean, Harry Shearer & Christoper Guest) make up the enigmatic Spinal Tap (give or take a few drummers) and De Bergi's "Rockumentary" follows the scandal and events surrounding the release of Spinal Tap's latest album "Smell The Glove".
Last week my boyfriend picked up Spinal Tap's new album "Back From the Dead" which features all of their old songs remastered. It sounds great and it's still hysterically funny. In addition to their studio efforts, the band have also "re-formed" for some live shows including a sold out gig at Wembley Arena and the Glastonbury Festival.
This is probably the most well known scene from "This is Spinal Tap". Well maybe apart from the 18 inch Stonehenge debacle.
Spinal Tap's latest comeback isn't the first time they have re-formed to bring us something musical. The clip above (It will take you to youtube, as I am unable to embed it) is for The Majesty of Rock, released in 1991. The Return of Spinal Tap, a direct to video sequel was released in 1992. It's not as good as the original, but still highly enjoyable. Spinal Tap: Break Like the Wind - The Videos was also released at this time. And yes, the title makes me giggle inappropriately.
On an interesting note, Spinal Tap also did commercials in Australia for a pizza pocket product called Rock & Rolls, made by Findus. There were three of four different commercials that I can remember, with the one above being the first. These aired in 1991.
That's all for today and I hope you've all enjoyed your Spinal Tap edu-ma-cation. 
Its been about five years since my boyfriend showed me this clip, and I still can't watch it without turning into a bawling, blubbering mess. It's haunting, sad and simply amazing. Trent Reznor may have written the song, but Mr Cash made it his own.
RIP Johnny. ![]()
Mel, this one is for you... 
Wow. The Aussie boy band.
Confession time. About four years ago I bought two Indecent Obsession CD's from Amazon for one cent each.
I have no idea where they are now. In a box somewhere?
Nostalgia is sometimes very embarassing tragic. My sisters were big fans at the time (six & eight years older than me, late 80's) and not knowing any better, I just wanted to like what they did. I remember getting the cassette of the album that this song is from for Christmas or my birthday when I was five.
I bet I danced my little ass off to it to. 
Ahhh I can't stop watching this clip now. It's just SO bad.
Considering that this band contains four straight guys (I know it's hard to believe, but it's true), this song comes off surprisingly homosexual. 
(NSFW)
For some reason whenever I see this clip by the The Lonely Island, I just can't stop laughing hysterically.
It's the moustaches.
Gotta be the moustaches.
I really wish they'd put up the video for Ras Trent. Funniest Andy Samberg facial expressions EVER. 
Green slime or no, this clip is HOT. I always liked this song when it came out, and I haven't heard it in years, up til today. I don't even remember what made me think of it.
I've never seen Tomb Raider either. This isn't completely random, this song is from the Soundtrack.
