Demetri bailed me out not once but TWICE over the last 3 weeks of Crash Test - and in addition he found time to do a pretty hilarious piece on MySpace for his "Trendspotting" segment on "The Daily Show." What a swell guy.
UPDATE: Whew, YouTube to the rescue - link here. Sorry Motherload, but you're not Mac friendly and I don't think anyone likes Windows Media Player. 3:20 PM-Permalink

Human Giant Plans to Expose Shadiness of "America's Most Talented Kids"
Recently the Human Giant has become obssessed with the television program "America's Most Talented Kids." The innocent premise of the show is that kids below the age of 15 perform various talents ranging from piano playing to magic for a panel of 3 celebrity kid judges.
However, after recently reviewing some of the episodes, the Human Giant has uncovered scandalous footage that questions the validity of the whole judging process. The Human Giant - myself, Rob Huebel, Paul Scheer, and Jason Woliner - are in the process of laying the groundwork for a brutal expose on this terrible sham.
Here's just a sampling of the fraud from HG director Jason Woliner:
NOTE: I finally updated my mp3 page, click here and look to the left.
To get us started off, a new Yeah Yeah Yeahs track called "Dudley" has leaked. And My Old Kentucky Blog is on top of it. Will this whole album leak already?!? Also, if anyone wants to give me a nice b-day present, some tickets to the YYYs Bowery gigs would be awesome. I've only listened to this track a few times, and I like it.
First off, I listened to the Knife's album Silent Shout and I must join BV, GVB, and basically every mp3 blog out there and sing the Knife's praises. This album is stupendously dark and I love it.
Another band I've been meaning to drop an mp3 or two of is Love is All. I really got into this album back in December, it was good driving music over in LA. Anyway, here's some long overdue mp3s:
Last night Nick Kroll and I hosted Crash Test and shared some special Valentine's Day cards for '06. We noticed a decline in the whole Valentine's Day cards based on TV shows trend, so we got cracking.
On a side note, I think Nick should bless the world and consider permanently assuming the character of Fabrice Fabrice. Seriously, Kroll get Fabrice on MySpace already!
Anyway, here's some of Nick and I's favorite TV themed V-Day cards:
