Big Al Kaprielian: "A True American Spaz"

I once met big Al Kaprielian at Cape Cod one summer, years back with my soon to be wife. He was a jovial and charismatic chap with a lust for the sky. As I lay on a beach towel next to my girl I hear a familiar voice coming from the concrete wall behind us. I turned to Nicole, "That's fucking Al Kaprielian!" I said. He was with his elderly Mother talking about the clouds. I proclaimed my admiration to him and requested a head-shot + signature. Sure as shit it arrived a few days later in the mail. He was just bumped from WNDS and affiliates and is looking for a job. You can still catch him on 980 AM WCAP Lowell, MA radio. Good man, great broadcaster. Godspeed big Al,.....godspeed......




A 25th anniversary broadcast on WNDS. A metric ton of recycled material but good none the less.



Thanks for the weather related roller coaster of fine and accurate reporting!

(this head shot was sent to me in 2003)

Annual AMS Film Festival 2010

Enjoy a collection of some of the worst film work around, (mine).



Here we have my brother sleeping on my couch with a hobo hangover. Seeing that it's around 2:00 PM, I decide to blowtorch his smelly feet with a Bic lighter and a can of WD-40. This one's a cult classic.




Since we are still on the topic of fire and mayhem, this next film seems appropriate. More campfire antics by yours truly. (Grand Lakes Region, ME)

At this time I'd like to note that this post doesn't yet seem to have that pretentious ambiance of a film festival. This one is my first and probably last art film; SMOKE.



Next up a time lapse film of a 7' X 20' Halloween backdrop I painted for a "Hallowedding".
(and yes, that is beer I am drinking throughout the project.)



And closing the festival we have a "Touchole Pictures" classic. "The Retard Brothers" was shot as a type of window into the average Friday night drinking with my brother. This particular night was a doosy, we were in rare form indeed.

Music

A true universal language indeed. You can make music that travels through the universe forever with sticks and stones, and anyone can do it. So....do it.


Example of 'Are'are music, as filmed and studied by ethnomusicologist Hugo Zemp in the Solomon Islands.





Bobby McFerrin demonstrates the power of the pentatonic scale, using audience participation, at the event "Notes & Neurons: In Search of the Common Chorus", from the 2009 World Science Festival, June 12, 2009.





This kid put together the top ten best NES video game songs of all time and I think he nailed it. He spells number with two m's. I think hes young but he has grasped the concept that the Japanese NES music makers had a great appreciation for American Jazz.





Amazing performance of They Might Be Giants on Dave Letterman In 1992.
"I Palindrome I" (notice Paul Shaffer jamming with them...cool.)

Fuckery

The Internet has run amuck with dickery and fuckery for a while now. These next four videos are just a snapshot of the vast and expanding universe of fuckerist and their dickery. Enjoy and leave the toilet seat up.


Difficult to defend free speech after this one...
Get a load of this burglar of turds.....





Fuckery: The act of fucking another persons life up with unsavory behavior that permanently scars ones memory with a type of reoccurring uncomfortable shock that leaves one pissed off at the "Fuckerist" that perpetrated this type of fuckery upon its prey. (In short:..see "Dickery" by Jack Mayhoffer, "Dickery For All" 1979 NY Times. Oh, right, you want a video example (sorry):




Steven is back. You know Steven, he freaks the fuck out and shoves remote controlls in his ass. This time his fuckery involves a vacuum.

Last but certainly not least,...The king of fuckery,....ANDY KAUFMAN!!!

Crazy Old Ladies

Capturing crazed, cantankerous and mentally disturbed people on camera is not a easy task. It is much like the UFO phenomenon, you have to be at the right place at the right time. I must give props to these guys. These videos have no shelf life.



This one shows a crazed woman in her robe, proclaiming her anger regarding a constantly barking dog. As she witnesses the camera, she erupts into a violent escapade that eventually results in arrest.
"Welcome to Florida"



All I found out about this one was, that it was filmed in Texas and the kids who filmed it were skateboarding in the parking lot of her project. Classic YouTube.



Yeah I know this is a re-post but like I said in the opening, "These videos have no shelf life."

These dudes are L.A.R.P.'ers (live action role playing gamers). They dress up like their "Dungeons & Dragons" characters and hit each other with foam rubber swords.

Racism in the News

When there's a slow day down at local news headquarters, they rarely air the classic "fireman saves kitten" routine now a' days, instead they embark toward the "low income, black part of town" and engage in some good old fashioned, American, god-fearin' racism. Forget about Iraq and Afghanistan!, we air news that makes the white folk comfortable in they're suburban cubicles. I'm not saying that these clip aren't funny. I'm just saying that they are hilariously racist. You can find the same type of behavior in the white trash part of town but you will never see it on the news, or at least, on local southern US news...................

UFO Special Part Deux

In regard to all UFO evidence I remain a sceptic, but only because I have never seen one myself. Some of the below footage strikes me as odd though. Mainly because most of it was shot by NASA, and as we all know, NASA does not comment on any UFO material any more.

Some of the older explanations were: ice crystals, weather balloons and atmospheric phenomenon. (All of which are not that convincing, considering the video evidence.)

Who the fuck knows? All I can say is, if they're advanced enough to warp back and forth through space, then what the fuck do they want from us retards?

This next clip is a classic collection of leaked NASA footage. Some really interesting stuff here.

"Sometimes Nothin' Can Be A Real Cool Hand"

Hey. This one will be brief. I'm in a shitty mood so I'm just blogging as a distraction. By the way Keith (god bless him) posted a video showing a dude surfing with a shark on a fishing rod. I have to call that one fake, unless I can find some substantiating evidence proving otherwise.
(which I have not). OK back on topic. Just watched "Cool Hand Luke" and want to share some of my favorite scenes from my favorite movie. R.I.P. Paul Newman, we hardly knew ye'.

Steven, The Kid Who Freaks The Fuck Out.

Get a load of this jerk. These videos have been kicking around you-tube for a while now. You have probably seen the first one posted, but none the less I feel they have no shelf life and are a rare breed of entertainment that can only be found on the interwebs.
Watching this kid go batshit fucking bananas is great, its so great I had a little trouble believing it was legit. Upon further inspection I realized that it had to be real. Who the fuck could write and perform this shit? Either this kid is a sick maniac or some kind of comedic genius 1000 years ahead of his time.

This vid shows Stevens classic reaction to his mother cancelling his World Of Warcraft account. Thank god his brilliant brother set up a camera. Imagine never being able to see the Hindenburg go down. Get a load of this jerk.














Put that in your crackpipe and smoke it! Now for something completely off topic.
(If it has to do with mustard its cool.) I always thought of this film as a comedy.

Guest Bloggin' The Stain by Keith Ransom

Hi. I'm Keith Ransom. You may remember from such other blogs as Ransom Notes and How To Alienate Jews Without Really Trying

One thing I love the most about The Stain is Sam's "Artwork Of The Day". So I'm gonna throw up one of mine. This is something I did called "North American War". Hope you enjoy.

by KEITH RANSOM Sam and I were talking about the punk rock band Menace the other night. He didn't want me to put their greatest hits record up on my blog, because he didn't know anyone else who had that album, and he wanted to keep it that way. So....I'm gonna put it up here. Just to antagonize and also, for it to be in flow with some of the stuff Sammy likes. This is his forum. I'm just paying rent here.

So here's a remarkably kick ass band by the name of Menace who never got their due, and their Greatest Hits collection called Screwed Up.

Heres a clip of G.G. Allin and The Jabbers performing "I'm So Bored". It's the earliest known clip of Allin; from 1981.

For this next item, I dug hard into the internet's darkest corners. I bring to the attention of Sam Munro this man; who is now his mortal enemy.

The asshole's name below is Tom Nuspickle from Philadelphia. Some jerk at a wedding in the gay old land of Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. Nice windmill move, asshole. What are you on your third Bud-Light Lime?

How dare he share a name with one so noble as Samuel Munro's legendary Nuspickle character? How dare he give off the vibe that he could be anywhere near as cool as our great hero Nuspickle? There are countless examples of douchebags named Nuspickle, but this fuck gets my vote as the king of those douchebags.
Ministry fucking rules. Enjoy Filth Pig. Fucking killer!!!!


A great picture of Janis Joplin done by legendary artist R. Crumb.
One of Sam Munro's favorite records. Entrance by Edgar Winter. Get down on some of this shit.

Why not do a scond Artwork of The Day. I'm pretty sure Sam's never seen this, even though he drew it. I swiped it from him and had it hanging up in the Mobil I worked at for 4 years. It's called "Poker Face Wardy". I think. Whatever. The name is not important. It looks just like Brendan Ward. Drawn while playing cards at Steve and Sam's old joint on Worsted.
Long live motherfucking Nuspickle!

You didnt think I was gonna not put tits up here did you?
For shame if you did. For shame.

I'd like to say goodbye to you all and thany Sam for allowing me to run the Stain for a post. I leave you now with one of the greatest videos ever, with one of the greatest endings of all time. Enjoy "Everyone's On Cocaine". Farewell Stainers.
