Message from Sponsor: Raleigh - Mild Taste
Go ahead ladies, you only live once - and what better way to enjoy a paddle down the river than the mild and refreshing taste of Raleigh cigarettes? While you're at it - I got something else smooth and mild for you to suck on, but that can wait until we get the tent set up. Don't forget about a nice, light Belair methol to brighten your day after taking one too many shuttlecocks to the face during our 'badminton' session. Sincerely - Red Skelton

Tuesday's Tunes (Posted on Wednesday)
Here is another video from Juan Rayos, the director who's style I would like to copy.
What you must pay particular attention to however, is the song, At Home, by a Madrid via london rock/electronica outfit which pieces together a really worthwhile composition.
In fact, sometimes I listen to the song on repeat.

Making Monday Merrier: Carlos Mencia
Here's a hilariously derogatory stand up routine that clearly earns its title: Not For the Easily Offended.

If I were to make a longboarding video in Madrid, I would want it to look like this...
This is a slick video with excellent production and editing, showing off beautiful madrid, really captures the spirit of the city, the hustle and the bustle, mixed with ways that all madridistas, whether into extreme sports or not, find a way to get out and enjoy the city, and look pretty slick while doing it. An Excellent tour of the city with a sweet soundtrack as well.

Full Moon Freakout: The Tanning Lady
In this inaugural full moon freakout, which happens to coincide with this year's supermoon, we have a real superfreak to stare in awe of: Patricia Krentcil. This tan-crazy lady proves you don't have to have big bucks like Michael Jackson to change your race and makes those Jersey shore idiots look like albinos. It wasn't until she 'allegedly' stuck one of her 5 offspring into a tanning bed that her full-time full-mood behavior came to light. On the one hand, you gotta feel bad for this freakish obsession, on the other - #YOLO, so let's all have a good laugh at this month's full moon freak, the tanning lady:

Werner Herzog's Must Read Letter to His Cleaning Lady
Rosalina. Woman.
You constantly revile me with your singular lack of vision. Be aware, there is an essential truth and beauty in all things. From the death throes of a speared gazelle to the damaged smile of a freeway homeless. But that does not mean that the invisibility of something implies its lack of being. Though simpleton babies foolishly believe the person before them vanishes when they cover their eyes during a hateful game of peek-a-boo, this is a fallacy. And so it is that the unseen dusty build up that accumulates behind the DVD shelves in the rumpus room exists also. This is unacceptable.
I will tell you this Rosalina, not as a taunt or a threat but as an evocation of joy. The joy of nothingness, the joy of the real. I want you to be real in everything you do. If you cannot be real, then a semblance of reality must be maintained. A real semblance of the fake real, or “real”. I have conquered volcanoes and visited the bitter depths of the earth’s oceans. Nothing I have witnessed, from lava to crustacean, assailed me liked the caked debris haunting that small plastic soap hammock in the smaller of the bathrooms. Nausea is not a sufficient word. In this regard, you are not being real.
Now we must turn to the horrors of nature. I am afraid this is inevitable. Nature is not something to be coddled and accepted and held to your bosom like a wounded snake. Tell me, what was there before you were born? What do you remember? That is nature. Nature is a void. An emptiness. A vacuum. And speaking of vacuum, I am not sure you’re using the retractable nozzle correctly or applying the ‘full weft’ setting when attending to the lush carpets of the den. I found some dander there.
I have only listened to two songs in my entire life. One was an aria by Wagner that I played compulsively from the ages of 19 to 27 at least 60 times a day until the local townsfolk drove me from my dwelling using rudimentary pitchforks and blazing torches. The other was Dido. Both appalled me to the point of paralysis. Every quaver was like a brickbat against my soul. Music is futile and malicious. So please, if you require entertainment while organizing the recycling, refrain from the ‘pop radio’ I was affronted by recently. May I recommend the recitation of some sharp verse. Perhaps by Goethe. Or Schiller. Or Shel Silverstein at a push.
The situation regarding spoons remains unchanged. If I see one, I will kill it.
That is all. Do not fail to think that you are not the finest woman I have ever met. You are. And I am including on this list my mother and the wife of Brad Dourif (the second wife, not the one with the lip thing). Thank you for listening and sorry if parts of this note were smudged. I have been weeping.
Your money is under the guillotine.
Herzog

Myles bags two ECMA awards
Nova Scotia's Blou takes top ECMA award
David Myles, Matt Andersen and Hey Rosetta! all double winners
CBC News - April 15, 2012
...
There were several double winners at the gala Sunday at Casino New Brunswick in Moncton — among them singer-songwriter David Myles, bluesman Matt Andersen and rockers Hey Rosetta!
Fredericton-born Myles captured both the song of the year and songwriter of the year honours for his tune Simple Pleasures. As he accepted the songwriter of the year prize, he said his wife inspires much of his work.
“I started writing songs and I knew it was what I wanted to do forever, and I get to do it because of everybody in this room being so supportive. I love being part of this community," he said. Myles also gave a memorable performance with Classified as part of the ceremony, and credited the Halifax hip-hop producer for his work on the song.
"He did a few things to it that really livened the song up and got to the spirit of what I was talking about," Myles said.
