Ho-ly Cow! The mostest funniest Strong Bad short of all time.

Clicky Clicky

I am officially declaring this the week that I have discovered internet radio. Granted this is not the first week that I’ve listened to streaming music over the internet (it’s been available in iTunes for a while now), but this week that it has started to grow on me. Things can be rather slow at work on Thursday nights, so I decided some music was in order. Of course, my entire music library is at home and not at the office. I fired up iTunes (which I had installed at work to manage a bunch of sermons I downloaded from the seminary’s website), and clicked on the radio module. After browsing around and trying a few stations, I found a nice classical station—Mostly Classical—that played some really good stuff.

However, that wasn’t the end of it. Tonight at home, I found two other interesting stations. The first is Digitally Imported – Hard House. Maybe it’s all that DDR I’ve been playing, but I’ve begun to take an interest in some forms of electronic music. It just so happened that the aforementioned station was playing a really good CD when I tuned in (“Hardhouse” CD 2 published by ID&T, to be exact). I was hooked almost instantly. I sat back and turned on G-Force, which must be made for this kind of music because the visualization was perfect. It’s too bad that the CD is from the Netherlands, and I couldn’t even find it on eBay.

The second good station that I discovered tonight is Best of the 80′s. Given my keen interest in 80′s music (particularly that of the New Wave variety), this station was a natural choice.

I saw this on the PCWorld website and was quite amused.

Need I make the obvious suggestion?

Perhaps you’ve seen the new Quizno’s commercials? You know… the ones with the funky-looking, singing hamsters, or whatever the heck those things are supposed to be. If you’re not sure, you can go to Quizno’s site to check them out.

Anyway, the animation on those funky-looking, singing whatever looked awfully familiar. It looked like something that I had seen on the internet before. Indeed, it looked reminiscent of the Viking Kittens, which a Google search revealed to be located at rathergood.com. Poking around, I discovered that these folks are indeed responsible for the Quizno’s commercials. In addition, I found a Flash animation in their collection that is oddly entertaining. Thus, I present to you Fearsome Stomping Laibach Kittens.

I don’t know what it is, but there’s just something hilarious about kittens in communist uniforms stomping fearsomely to the beat of eastern european industrial music.

And here’s more of the… uh… whatever they are.
