WHAT!?

“A symphonic mash-up of the Brahms 1st Symphony and Radiohead’s ‘OK Computer'” re-composed, arranged and conducted by Steve Hackman. Performed by the Colorado Music Festival Orchestra with vocalists Andrew Lipke, Kristin Newborn and Will Post.

Detailed renderings, derived from obsessive watching, of Famous Television Show Home Floor Plans.

Not a WHAT!? entry because it’s weird or bizarre, but because it feels like Gary Gulman’s comedy is based on direct observations of my brain…and thus I suspect it will resonate with many Clamorites as well.

“Chris Heck fought his way up over the most dangerous, life-threatening tricks, with numerous sore finger injuries, and nervous breakdowns to where he is today.”

The strange, sad story of Jimmy Ellis, aka Orion, the Man Who Would Be Elvis and how many thought he was Elvis when all he wanted to do was take off the glittering mask.

In 1961, Roald Dahl hosted a Twilight Zone-alike television show called Way Out (the title screen says ‘Way Out; I don’t know what that’s about)…a show created quickly to replace Jackie Gleason’s failed talk show You’re In the Picture. All of this just as weird as it sounds. Fortunately for us, the ►entire one-year run is available on YouTube.

Incidentally, when I say Gleason’s show failed, I mean it was a serious fail: instead of airing the second episode, which was already in the can, Gleason appeared on television to apologize. “Last week we did a show that laid the biggest bomb—it would make the H-bomb look like a two-inch salute,” he said, later adding, “You don’t have to be Alexander Graham Bell to pick up the phone and find out it’s dead.”
