Sideways Christmas Steps Maneuver

At first I felt kinda sad for this band, Tyrell Corporation, because the crowd is talking loudly over their capable rendition of Mogwai's "Christmas Steps", and they're not paying attention, and one of the musicians even *shushes* the crowd, which is one of the worst fucking things a performer can do...

So then as the music crescendos for the first time, the crowd gets louder still, and for a split second I wondered if maybe they were subconsciously feeding off the energy of the music, but quickly decided, no, they just didn't care...

Eventually, of course, the band ratchets up the tension just enough to grab the crowds attention, and then they basically just rock it out and take everybody home...

On The 7th Day Of Christmas...

I give to thee...SEVEN TASTY SCREENGRABS!!!!!!!

In a recent post I wrote about installing a new DVD drive in my ancient PC (5 years is pretty ancient for a PC, right?) which now offers me the ability to do screengrabs from DVDs...The most exciting prospect of this is the possible resurrection of MUCKO!, which fans of Thee ButterScotch Threshold will hopefully remember with some fondness...Anyways, the following seven screengrabs are from some of my personal favorite movies and televisions shows, their DVDs within view and grabbing distance on the shelf next to HOT POOP CENTRAL...If you click on the images below, you can enjoy the full 600x900 pix, which admittedly aren't the highest quality, but may nonetheless be suitable for wallpapers, if yr so inclined...
