Happy Halloween From Human Gold

The Real Ghostbusters: Ragnarok and Roll

Season 2, episode 16, in which a "depressed young man uses a magical flute to bring about the end of the world".

"Ragnarok and Roll" has to be like, my favorite play on words EVER.

The Real Ghostbusters: Sandman

"Mr. Sandman, Dream Me a Dream" (Episode #107, aired 10/25/1986):

The Sandman arrives in New York and attempts to put everyone to sleep for five hundred years. And with every person put to sleep, their dreams become real. Can the Ghostbusters stop the Sandman or will they fall asleep with the rest of the city?

The Real Ghostbusters: Samhain or Sam Hain?

"One of the only recurring villains is Samhain. He first appears in the episode "When Halloween was Forever". In the episode, he is released from his captivity by two goblins on Halloween. Once set free, he sends his minions all over New York. His plan is to make Halloween an eternal night that will last forever all over the world. Just before the world falls under his evil reign, the Ghostbusters put a stop to him and his terror. He is placed within the ecto-containment unit where it is assumed that he would stay."

Human Gold Corp Annual Retreat

Hey. We all just got back from the Human Gold Corporation's Annual Office retreat. Here's a picture we took after a trust-building exercise:

Kultural Kiki: Deeply Twee

A cupcake prize to anyone who guesses the band that I rediscovered (for the like, 10th time) last night and got so excited about listening to that I could not sleep.

(Clues are in post title and labels. Should be enough.)

Temporary tats?

Maybe instead of getting a tattoo, I can get one of these contraptions placed under my skin so that I will be a walking piece of barfin' art. (Note: there is no barfin' in the video, unless yr one of those types who barfs with joy, like our hockey friend a couple entries back.)

freudian dick... i mean slip

i just wrote "aesthetic tragedy" when i meant to write "aesthetic strategy." COINCKY-DINK?

great moments in cinema

If I was twelve I would think that this was the best movie ever made. As it stands I think it might be pretty up there.

kulture vulture: songs that time should forget already, damn!

hot 97, do me this one favor: the next time i turn on the shower radio in my apartment, give me something other to wash my hair to than kanye west's "big brother." it can be anything really. i strongly encourage more ne-yo, which you are often willing to give me, although you are guaranteed to bookend it with "big brother." you could even do a freestyle weekend that riffs or puns off of the relationship one might have to a "big brother," songs such as "two to make it right," "together forever," or two of hearts," and i would even allow a strictly verbal shout out to kanye west's "big brother" as the definite inspiration for such a fine block of radio programming. but this is the thing about "big brother" that y'all at hot 97 must not realize: that song is not good; it never was; its infinite playing does not make it better; in fact, it makes it worse. i cannot sud up to this any longer. i don't know how i ever did.

kulture korner: records that time forgot

Like a stray kitten this called to me. A real good fifty cents spent. The Willie/Waylon cover of Whiter Shade of Pale is simultaneously the most questionable and also the most healing thing I have heard in awhile. Maybe ever. Let the healing begin.

RISA

Risa - Also called Epsilon Ceti B II, located about ninety light-years from Earth, known for its beauty and relaxing tropical atmosphere. It is a world commonly sought by interstellar vacationers and starship crews on shore leave.^[34][35] The planet orbits several stars and its climate is controlled by a weather modification network, with the natural climate being extremely violent. Risians, especially the women, are extremely open and will freely share their planet, and even themselves, with vacationers; a practice known as "Jamaharon".^[36] Perhaps not coincidentally, the fun-loving planet's name is also the Spanish word for "laughter."

I'm sorry but...

This blog has too much power. I cannot handle it.

(Also, Jill Greenberg is a genius.)

So I lied.
