Yurkos song of the day: DoubleBack - by ZZ Top

"I'm taking off the kid gloves, and putting on the very mad gloves!"

Man if there was ever a show that fox should put on DVD the old animated tick should be it. I swear hours of enjoyment from that show but alas i doubt it will ever happen. Now if i could only find those tapes i used to have of the show, ill just have to add it to the list of stuff i should do in this quickly dwindling summer. On that note, very amusing quote, cant remeber when on the show or the context but it is amusing and kinda fitting for my mood.

Extremly cool song today, comes from the Back to the Future III soundtrack actually. I was searching for this one for a good long while and i finally found it, albeit im not sure if its the exact song i wanted but regardless its very very cool. Man ZZ Top was the best part of that movie, even though they were only in it for a good 6 seconds. Ok so no THE best part but still i was amused by there spinning guitars/drums so its all good. Get the song, cause its some of there best work and ZZ Top is some great blues rock already so best plus great equals incredible!!

Saw an incredibly amusing commercial a while back, but i forgot to mention it on here. This thing rivals the goodness that was the Red Stripe Beer ad a while back, too bad its from Starbucks what with there damn expensive coffees which i swear have a negative caffeine effect on me. I say this because back in the days of swimteam some mornings after swimming but before school we would head to starbucks and it would be on those days and those days only that i would come the closest i ever have to falling asleep in school. If those desks wernt so damn uncomfortable it would have been lights out Yurko, all thanks to Starbucks, bastards, if i order coffee i should be able to stay awake for at the very least an hour after i drink it. BAH, too bad it tasted good though otherwise well yeah... where was it OH right commercial, got a bit off topic there. Aaannywho they have had lately these genius commercials for their doubleshot coffee drink things, which you can conveniently go and see at this link http://www.starbucks.com/grocery/dblshot.asp But yeah the premise is basically this guy takes a drink from one of these double shot coffees and he ends up getting this arena rock band following him around all day singing this song about him. Its actually quite funny, esp the scene of the drumset being pushed down the street after him. A rather brilliant idea for an ad i must say, hopefully companies keep this sort of quality up, and if it wasnt for the afformentioned caffeine sucking power of starbucks coffee i would buy one of these things. Take a look though, very amusing

Hmmm darnit! Yet again i forget about poor Matt Dusk, my planned song of the day for a good while now. Ah well, hes got some good stuff all in taht frank sinatraish oozing with cool sound. Ill get around to it one of these days, but yeah theres no point putting to much mention in it before i make it the song of the day.
Last thing, if you didnt read the last post or you didnt care then (well then chances are u dont care now) my new email/msn is deflatormouse@gmail.com so add me to your list if ive already added u etc. Hmm although whats the point of a new fancy email with a tick reference if no one gets it. Ah well, amuse myself I guess.

(Come online damn you!! I Demand an explanation!!!)

Till Next Ramble

The Amazing, Boring Yurko
