Man Ray

Predictably, the only picture of Man Ray I was able to find was a self-portrait.

Avatar will win more Oscars than that and actor and actress won't go down the same way here. But the rest of it, I think, is pretty indicative of the Oscars.

'The Sweet Hereafter'

'Thanks for coming out'

Do you know Jason McKinley Williams? Well, you should. Here's a hilarious little movie he made about meeting Chuck Woolery.

Gorillaz -- 'Fire Coming Out of the Monkey's Head'

Jake Shimabukuro -- 'While My Guitar Gently Weeps'

Do they call him 'Ukulele Hurricane'? (Hat tip: J Lackey & K Thomas)

Od Wolfson -- 'Bowlin' Fer Souls'

Ben Schwartz -- 'Job Interview'

Snakeout -- 'Fuck You, I Ain't Gandhi' (from Theater Bizarre 2007)

NSFW. Wacky, wacky stuff. Love the go-go dancers in the fire cage! None of this looks safe. Ends kind of abruptly.

Buddy & Stacey -- 'Shotgun'

Gotta admit: never heard of Buddy or Stacy. I'm more into that left-handed guitar player on the Fender Jazzmaster.

Brian Lamb

'50 Impressions in 50 Seconds'

Anna Faris

Clockhammer -- 'Nullify'

One of my all time favorite guitar solos ever. Of all time. Ever. (The video is completely random, in fact I think its a commercial for something)

Ike & Tina Turner -- 'Fool in Love' & 'Work Out Fine'

Charles Bukowski & Mickey Rourke

Super Bowl forecast

Colts -5
Saints 57

The notion that the Colts are a vastly superior team and will blow out the Saints simply does not work for me. The Saints are going to score--book it! The Colts secondary isn't that strong and with Dwight Freeney less then 100%, that Colt pass rush won't be optimal. (Incidentally look for the Saints to run the ball right at Freeney--see how the ankle feels while he's backpedaling on it!) The Saints D, on the other hand, won't touch Manning but they are a bit more opportunistic than the Colts D and if Peyton throws picks, then the Saints could win big. I can see the Saints jumping out to an early lead, maybe even a big lead, but I like Peyton Manning to come back late and win it at the end. This game will not be a blowout (unless crazy turnovers are involved), both teams will score points and this will be one of the more memorable Super Bowl games ever. I like the Saints to cover, Colts to win, and the over. Colts 34-31.
