What's your latest "Discovery"
Zaikes, it's a cartoon. I watched it with my kid and actually laughed at a lot of the stuff they do. Or maybe it was just because I saw my kid enjoying himself :^). http://www.adultswim.com/shows/spaceghost/ |
No kids, and don't really watch the Cartoon channel (with the sometime exception of early morning vintage Gigantor reruns -- love that no-fi spy-jazz, even if the dialog [such as it were] is half unintelligible). But they don't seem to show the vintage Tex Avery or WB (or even Hanna Barbera) 'toons I might actually sit still a few minutes for. The newer, snarkier stuff doesn't interest me by and large, so I usually skip right over the channel without glancing. I do however enjoy myself a little Spongebob on Nick from time to time :-) So Synthfreek, do you have Sharrock in your collection? |
Just a few Axiom albums that he plays on but no a proper solo album. You might wanna give the Marc Ribot album titled Y Los Cubanos Postizos a spin...I'm guessing you'll like it. By the way Space Ghost Coast To Coast would probably just confuse a child. It's pretty subversive humor that is squarely aimed at adults. If you get a chance try to catch some episodes of Sealab 2021 or The Venture Brothers. They may change your outlook on "cartoons". They're total parodies of Hanna-Barbara cartoons from the late 60's/early 70's and specifically one little-known one called Sealab. They actually use the original animation but redub the voices and reanimate the characters. |
Sounds like Mystery Science Theater 3000 or What's Up Tiger Lilly? for cartoons... I've heard some Marc Ribot, including some of the title you mention, and actually have a friend who knows him, but I don't own any of his albums. What I heard was good though, and I do own an Ellery Eskelin (tenor) disk that Ribot plays on (Ellery I knew personally myself many moons ago). |
