Iggy Pop + The BPA Puppet Show

The BPA (formerly Fatboy Slim) released a track a while ago titled He’s Frank, which featured Iggy Pop on the vocals.  There were a few versions put out, but this newest installment is Iggy Pop in his rarest form- puppet. Video – Amazing.  Gotta love Iggy’s eyeballs. The music video for The BPA – He’s [...]

The Muse #1

In an attempt to instill a greater sense of structure and regularity on roubalot, I am starting a weekly posting dubbed The Muse, in which I will post up new songs/old songs/bangers/goodies/sounds that delighted me the prior week, and hopefully will ignite some sense of optimism in this world gone mad for you too! This [...]

Merriweather Post Pavilion

Animal Collective. Even before this record was out, several music magazines and websites started to refer to it as “The Best Album of 2009″, while Uncut Magazine called it “one of the landmark american albums of the century.” The album cover, based on optical illusions by Japanese Psychologist Akiyoshi Kitaoka, is what I imagine when [...]

Zombie Kid Revealed!

Update of my favorite zombie, the now famous Jonathon, also known as Zombie Kid or simply… “I like turtles.”  I always wanted to know what happened to our mysterious friend.

VGL Boys!!!

Last night I got super excited to eat handmade Pierogis.  I defrosted and fried 4 of them, and they ended up being filled with sour kraut instead of the usual potato/cheese combination.  Talk about disappointing. Luckily, Ryan Tomaro pointed me towards the youtube of a NY acquaintance by the name of Cole Escola, that captivated [...]

Jonah: “…sorry miss, I’m just allergic to some shit up here… I must be allergic to your fart miss…” Jonah, [...]
