The Idiot Box 06.02.06
Posted by Nathaniel Hensley on 06.02.2006



Songs that Should Never be Covered, Ever

This week I'm going to head off the beaten path, and choose the classic collaboration between Al Jourgensen and Gibby Haynes of Butthole Surfers fame. The result is a two-headed rock love child called "Jesus Built my Hotrod." It is utterly unique, impossible to duplicate, and should be left alone until the end of time.

The Idiot Box Proper

There is no news worth reporting this week.

Correction, there are no interesting tidbits that haven't been covered by other columnists and writers here at 411. They're all over the news, brothers and sisters, so feel free to float about and gather useless bits of knowledge.

This week I'll do something everyone likes – lists. Lots of lists. Bite sized, easy to read, even easier to disagree with. And I must remind you, these lists are NOT IN ORDER. There is no #1 or #10, just numbers for the items listed.

Need some more shit to read?

Well the first place you need to go is here --

MySpace Blog

I'm using the blog to post updates and chapters on a crime novel. It's tough, violent, brutal in spots, even – but there is more going on than crime. Check it out

And after that, head over to theGainesville Sun
where you'll find a bi-weekly Podcast, featuring yours truly expounding upon B movies, music, and dumb shit with a couple of actual journalists. It's called Scene and Heard. This week we've got the lead singer of Sister Hazel on the cast with us, and throwing down in an iPod battle.

See you next week
