Over A Hundred Files Worth Of Bowie Music. Enjoy!
I stayed up a bit on the late side last night, watching Night of a 1000 Premieres on Adult Swim. Something hit me, and I'm not entirely certain when. But after a good two hours of watching the new offerings, both with clear head and with fogged, I realized something:
Adult Swim is turning into Liquid Television. Even the animation style of the shorts is the same in places. But as I sat on the couch, devouring a box of cookies and searching for the mysteries of the universe inside the television, I felt a wave of nostalgia so acute it was almost painful.
I honestly don't have much to say on what I actually saw. I believe I had a wordy review of Super Jail and Fat Guy Stuck On Internet all written up in my head last night, but I've forgotten them by now. I did note how ridiculously violent pretty much everything was, though. Now, cartoon violence doesn't really bother me - it's on late at night, there's plenty of warnings, that's fine with me. I just can't tell it's some sort of clever commentary on the casual attitude towards violence in our society or if it's just gratuitous violence because enough stoned college kids think it's 'hurr hurr' funny.
Either way, it all takes me back to a very long time ago.
Drabbles will be posted later!
