The bar for utterly ironic chorus lyrics has possibly been out of the reach of normal people for now. Hard Place show considerable, erm, 'flair' as well as awareness of, erm....well. Um. This is too hard to describe. Justice can only be done by watching it. (SLYT + 1) via

I feel like I've entered the intersection of a previously undiscovered Venn Diagram.

Zebra? No, she can't be more than a D.

It really could have been good if they'd just kept their mouths shut.

Zebra is an anagram of Bezar.

On the plus side, this effectively killed the 80s nostalgia trip that the Toto post started me on.

I watched the first 30 seconds a second time, just to confirm it was really as bad as it seemed the first time I watched the first 30 seconds.

As a devotee of internet cooking advice, I was supremely disappointed by this instructional video. While the video did give some tips about where to acquire the meat, I felt that significant details of the preparation were omitted. Perhaps a helpful sidebar with information about spices and cooking times would improve this (obviously novice) video recipe.

It's like Electric Six chose to take off glam instead of disco. Is it bad that I quite like this? Full disclosure: I just got back from seeing a band called Screaming Tea Party. I am maybe not in the right frame of mind for objective comment.

So correct me if I'm wrong, but is this basically a furry vore glam band?

The um'ing and erm'ing is annoying... If someone's going to be this opaque about what they're posting I'd hope they'd link to something more interesting than a three year old shit music video.

I believe this is what happened to a friend of mine. She was in Cats back in the 80's, then fell in with a bad crowd.

Thanks, but my curiosity with musical possibilities of zebras and fursuits in winter forests were already sated. It is a combination that will keep on giving, though.

i am decidedly a weird. this just blew my mind under the bleachers.

Good point Glarg this really should have been a link to Tuff It Out, which is about a billion times better/worse and has more stunts.

To those who hate it: I know you jelly.

New video from the same people think.

Is there a word that describes something that is completely awesome that I never want to see again?

If there's anything you can say about Encyclopedia Dramatica, their article on Furries has more truth in it than the Wikipedia one.

Okay - this entire thread is just to get me back for this post, innit?

Okay, I'm sorry. Seriously. Never again.

Wow. That Sweet Raisin (She's just a meow meow) video is awesome. And great. I got my hopes up!

Oh, and. Erm. Um. Erm. Um. Just to upset Glarg.

(My neighbours came back up the stairs outside my apartment halfway through watching the video, and I heard them saying "What's SO funny?"...)

Oh god. If only I'd known to hunt a bit more: This is the gift that keeps on giving.... The initial video made me think of some art students with too much time, but I'm starting to think that these people are complete and utter genius in a nut shell.

My sides hurt, Just fucking awesome. It's like a Cliche surfboard riding on a stormy, utterly camp, sea...

"Yeah, get your hopes up," she said cattily.

Ouch!
Yeah, I also had a few moments of "this must be internet performance art", but it seems the band Hard Place has a myspace account with show flyers and the all the works. Check out their photo section if you really don't want to sleep tonight.

That first video and "Pink Champagne". Too brilliant. Too retarded. I'm inexplicably excited by this band and I guess what I really want to know is what kind of drugs cause this sort of entertaining confabulation of cheesy music, drag fashion and bad art damage cos like, I could use some of that shit...
