LADYBABY「ニッポン饅頭 / Nippon Manju

Have you heard Ladybaby's newest album? You can get the new CD+DVD for just 1,200. I'm not sure if that's yen, dollars or units of the blood of lost souls but either way it seems like a deal.

New Iron Fist Trailer

Hot off the success of the Fantastic Four this weekend Marvel has released the trailer for Iron Fist. It has a lot more rapping in it that I would have imagined.

They're Gathering Again

It's time for the most anticipated infomercial of the year. The annual Gathering of the Juggalos video. This year's video comes to us from the FUTURE. A future where I assume cool things like the ICP and Faygo have been outlawed so it's up to one intrepid group of ninjas to travel back in time to the 2015 Gathering of the Juggalos and I don't know... save the future Faygo? This thing is 20 minutes long I didn't have time to watch it all this morning.

I think I say this every year, but man I really want to go to this thing. Think of how awesome the people (?) watching must be. Sure there's a 50/50 chance I never make it back but Anybody Killa and Nova Rockafeller are going to be there. I'm pretty sure it's worth taking the chance.

Ho Ho Links

20 People Who Took Gift Wrapping to the Next Level. These are pretty cool, I wish I had thought of a couple when I started wrapping gifts this year. I don't know what it was but this was the year of odd sized presents. Ever tried to wrap a soccer ball? That's like 7th level of hell stuff right there.

'Evil Dead' scoop: Bruce Campbell reveals series details. WooooWoooo, I am on board the hype train for this one. A few years back when they did the Evil Dead remake I finally resigned myself to the idea that there will never be an Evil Dead 4. I mean there's still not, but a 10 episode series on cable is like the next best thing. Too bad I don't get Starz... quick to the Torrents!

Iggy Azalea Has To Be Nice To Azealia Banks Or Her Sex Tape Will Leak. Are there any winners in this story? I'm pretty sure the demand for an Igloo Australia sex tape is somewhere between non-existent and vomit inducing.

In completely unrelated news here's where I'm going to talk about SyFy's big mini-series event Ascension. I finished it last night and I have to say I really liked it. It's not like it was on Lost or Game of Thrones level or anything but for a SyFy original it was pretty darn good. Like a lot of Science Fiction I thought the set up was better than the conclusion but I was always interested in where it was going and I plowed through the series pretty quickly. That has to account for something.

Tracking a Gadget’s Journey From the Mine to Beneath the Christmas Tree. Interesting long form article on the way our beloved doodads get here from China. Being in the import business myself I found the part where they ride on the container ship to be especially cool.

Tarot and the Krampus and the Worst Christmas Story. Tarot is kind of a bad comic but it's an insanely bad comic. Read the review and skip the actual book.

Welp, this is probably it for the year. I'm going to spend most of now through the first at home with the children. I probably won't be doing much blogging. Look for the big 2014 wrap up in another week. In the meantime Merry Christmas, Festivus, Kwanza, Chanukah, Solstice, etc.

2014 Gathering of the Juggalos Infomercial

So if you have 23 minutes to spare I heartily recommend you watch the infomercial for the 2014 Gathering of the Juggalos. It's got all your favorites, like Insane Clown Posse, Kottonmouth Kings, Blaze ya Dead Homie, Boondoz, the axe Murder Boys and WWE superstar Mick Foley. Plus a bunch of other weird freak show acts and rap groups you can't believe need money this bad like Cypruss Hill and Shock G.. All in beautiful, rural Ohio.

I'm not lying when I say I really want to go to this some year. I have a couple years before I hit 40, maybe I should start saving for the 2015 Gathering right now. At the very least I could start hording Faygo and clown makeup.
