Do you like Pizza? Do you like The Velvet Underground? Then you might like Mccaulay Culkin's new pizza-themed Velvet Underground tribute band.
Taste the dip, in love not given lightly...

The seriousness of their faces in the photo juxtaposed with the subject matter made me laugh. Oh, to have the luxury to be in a pizza-themed band!

If they had the space ( or any kind of vision) Two Boots would hire them as a one time house band.

“Cheese Days.” (THAT LAST ONE IS TECHNICALLY A NICO SONG AND EVEN MORE TECHNICALLY A JACKSON BROWNE SONG, MACAULAY CULKIN. EXERCISE MORE QUALITY CONTROL OVER YOUR LITTLE PIZZA PARODIES, PLEASE).
Thank you for reminding me how much I love the AV Club.

Elevated. Culkin probably has fuck you money. If being in a Velvet Underground/Pizza band tickles him, he has plenty of time and resources to spend.

Somewhere on ILX there's an amazing thread of Velvet Underground-themed ice cream flavors, like "White Light / White Chocolate" and "Black Raspberry Angel Food Death Song." The best one was "I Found A Raisin."

Mccaulay Culkin is one of those names you see on Metafilter and fear it's an obituary post. He's looked terrible in the past few years, but glad to see in these photos he looks healthy and happy.
Is part of the joke of these recordings that the sound quality is even worse than the debut Velvet Underground album?

Not many people bought a pie from Papa Pasqualor's Pizzeria, but everyone who did started their own pizzeria.

Calzones are pointless. They're just pizza that's harder to eat. No one likes them. Good day, sir.

Unless you plan on eating a whole pizza in one sitting, in which case they are monumentally easier.

It's not that you need fuck you money to be able to do this. It's that, if you're McCauley Culkin, you can make more fuck you money by doing it.

Does he have fuck you money though? I mean, it was a pretty big deal when he divorced himself from his parents for mismanaging the certainly-of-fuck-you-money-quanitity monies so woefully. And by that point, his acting career was already more or less over. Could what was left really be enough to qualify as fuck you money? I've often thought he probably just lives on the good will of trust funded NYC bohemians who like him slash get a kick out of having him around.

When I showed up late to the Comic Arts Brooklyn after party, a bunch of my friends tried to describe this band that had just finished playing and it took about ten minutes and four corroborating accounts before I would believe they weren't all pulling my leg.

I'm picturing a rewrite of "The Gift" in which Waldo ships himself to Marsha in a huge pizza box delivered by a pizza driver, and then she absent mindedly cuts him with a knife after complaining that Papa John's never bothers to slice their pizzas properly.

Third verse, Sweet Tomatoes:
Some people, they like Chipotle
And other people, they have to cook
(Heh! Watch me now!)
And there's even some evil mothers
Well they're gonna tell you your favorite slice is just dirt
You know, that deep dish is a casserole
And that Papa Gino's need to die
And you know, New York is the only place
And that you don't know a good pie!
Well, everyone who's ever had a heart
They can knead some dough and bake it!
Or just buy some ala carte
There's no way you could forsake it!
