Just checking... everybody knows that the complete Flat Eric oeuvre is available at the click of a button?? What could be easier, or more satisfying?

Now here's something. I have already packed my bags for the charming world of Goopymart, and you should too. Can't beat cheerful rainbow-colored monsters on vacation, now, can you?

There.

Do you miss Alive from Off Center as much as I do?
Go here and drink in some processed video for it's own sake: http://x.nnon.tv/

Hoorah! A small heap of Michel Gagné's Insanely Twisted Shadow Puppet animation in one handy spot!

I usually leave music recommendations to other folks, but I am so tickled by

Broken Social Scene

that I am going to wave their flag for a minute.

I picked up their new self-titled album, which is so good it's silly.

Picked up their first (see picture above).

Same result. Where to go from here?
I am having trouble listening to anyone else these days.

You will want to start your own band. Guaranteed!

Why was Google invented? To provide happiness. How else would I have found out that (a) some of my favorite Hot Wheels cars as a kid were real size cars??? (b) the same guy who made the giant Hot Wheels also made the Munsters car??? and (c) HE ALSO MADE THE BATMOBILE.

I am suddenly, blissfully, nine years old again. God bless George Barris. http://www.barris.com/gallery.html

Looking for that special someone to spend an evening with? Make a date with Georges Méliès. He has a pile of crazed silent films to choose from, and there is scarcely a dull moment in the whole lot. He invents and invents and reinvents, frame after frame. You will be inspired, I guarantee... no matter what field you work in!

The DVD collection Méliès the Magician comes highly recommended, but if there's a moviehouse cool enough to show his stuff near you, get thee there! http://frenchfilms.topcities.com/index3.html#http://frenchfilms.topcities.com/nf_gmelies.html

The mesmerizing world of Brad Johnson aka J. Bradley Johnson, aka Snoot and Grolo's proud dad. Perhaps you know this guy from Julie Doucet's Dirty Plotte, or Snake Eyes, or lots of other unlikely places. Here is a cornucopia of his funnies:
