Kumar Trivia:
- Kumar was a terrorist on 24
- Kumar was the name of a terrorist state on The West Wing
- Kumar loves Obama
That is all.
Matthew Santos for President
Previously in this series: David Palmer for President
“For what those West Wing fans stunned by the similarity between the fictitious Matthew Santos and the real-life Barack Obama have not known is that the resemblance is no coincidence. When the West Wing scriptwriters first devised their fictitious presidential candidate in the late summer of 2004, they modelled him in part on a young Illinois politician – not yet even a US senator – by the name of Barack Obama.”

The World’s Greatest Music Collection
3 Million Records, 300,000 CDs, 6 million+ Song Titles
“Every recording in the collection was purchased by the collection’s owner over the past fifty years and represents a lifetime of work and his desire to see the music preserved for future generations. Advancing age and health concerns are forcing the owner to sell…
The new owner of this magnificent collection will also acquire (1) the rights to Spin-Clean, the owner’s patented vinyl record cleaning system, considered the best on the market by audiophiles the world over, (2) the rights to Discmist CD cleaner, (3) CD Saver 2-part archival CD storage sleeves, (4)Yellow Jacket 45 RPM acid-free archival storage sleeves, (5) ownership of the owner’s six publishing companies and eight independent record labels, and (7) more than $100,000 worth of antique recording and listening devices and other music memorabilia currently on loan to a museum.”
This collection would totally look good in my room.
Bicycles, expensive sandwiches, natural medicine…

You might remember a quick post I wrote a couple months ago about some awesome guitar hero parodies that were getting a lot of attention on YouTube. I hope you got to see a few of those hilarious vids, because they’re all gone now: Copyright Vampires Delete Guitar ‘Shred’ Videos from YouTube

As a side note, I can’t believe that wankorama-master Yngwie Malmsteen indirectly made my blog twice in a single month.
Revok- Murakami collaboration
This somehow sounds like a rework of the feudal tale about the daimyo being entranced by a certain peasant’s skill with basket weaving…
“In the early morning hours in mid-December, an amazing masterpiece of epic pink proportions appeared above the Melrose strip. Not MOCA’s Murakami billboard itself, but rather a young curator’s fantasy art show…”
