MUSICAL MON! VENTURE BROS. "FROM THE LADLE TO THE GRAVE!"

MUSICAL MONDAY PRESENTS

The Venture Bros. (Cartoon Network) is probably my favorite TV show of all time; created by Jackson Publick (Christopher McCulloch) and Doc Hammer, the Adult Swim animated show follows the Venture family, their friends, and their foes. The show is a parody that mixes Johnny Quest, G.I. Joe, Scooby Doo, and a variety of obscure and oblong references to everything from the David Bowie mythos to The Neverending Story.

The video I'm posting today is the "documentary" style special about the garage band Shallow Gravy and their first single "Jacket". Enjoy.

MUSICAL MONDAY! BABY CAKES: ROLE PLAY TOURNAMENT (BE AGGRESSIVE)

MUSICAL MONDAY PRESENTS

How do I sell you Brad Neely's Baby Cakes, History Brothers, and most importantly China, IL. First, I'll give you one of the best and most accessible of Baby Cakes videos; in which we get to see our thirty year-old hero ruin everyone's day by being a role play tournament champion. The animation in these early videos is pretty much non-existent, but the images are awesome, the humor makes me smile every time, and I could watch this playlist forever because it is made of the things that make me happy.

My taste reflects me here; first, Baby Cakes represents the man-child nerd side of me that wants nothing more than fantasize and be angry about the world that doesn't fit into my naive/weird perspective. Then, we got the History Brothers who represent my interest in story-telling and history, while also perhaps inspiring my dream to become a professor just so I can give lectures (though its questionable whether I will have that much fun). And then China, IL, is a show that literally takes all the components from the last two things and just blows them up on a huge scale.

The Adultswim show was awesome. Check out another awesome Baby Cakes beat from the show. Check it out on youtube and adultswim.
