In this episode, I have a chat with Hal Lublin, Molly Lewis, Ben Soileau, Paul Sabourin, and Aaron Poole in a bizarre little conference that has no rhyme, reason, or sense but still exists for you to listen to of your own volition, should you choose to enter the somewhat less-than-magical world we like to call Radinkydonk.
Aaron Fever and the multi-talented Joseph Scrimshaw put on an improv comedy show of epic proportions at Dragon Con 2013. It featured the talents of James Urbaniak, Bill Corbett, Paul & Storm, Mike Phirman, and Phil LaMarr with special appearances by Phil Plait, Ken Plume, and Molly Lewis. Somehow we were able to fit that all star line-up into just 20 minutes. If you weren’t there, fret not! Because now you can watch it in 720p (whatever that means) online! As many times as you’d like.
Bit of a warning, there were some problems with the audio on the night so you might have issues with it in patches but hopefully not enough to take-away from the show.

My monthly run down of what I enjoyed online continues!
1) Macaulay Culkin Eating a Slice of Pizza
If you didn’t know, Macaulay Culkin has a coverband called The Pizza Underground and they rewrite Velvet Underground songs to make them about pizza. In a weird way, it’s kind of genius.
As most people know, Andy Warhol was heavily involved in The Velvet Underground so to honour this Macaulay has immitated Warhol’s “eating a burger” video and eats a pizza. It’s a second-by-second remake and to prove it here is a side-by-side video.
Listen, I know this is probably the dumbest thing you’ll see in your life but it’s 4 minutes of Kevin McAllister from Home Alone eating a pizza. Dare you not watch it?
2) Christian Bale Sings the Powerpuff Girls Theme
The interviewer is quite possibly the dumbest, most awkward person that exists in this universe but his idiocy has led to the wonderful moment of Batman singing the theme song for The Powerpuff Girls so I guess that’s a win.
3) Cardboard Box Office
Two very creative (and most likely very bored) parents have undertaken the project of re-creating classic movie scenes with their baby and whatever is lying around the house.
Young Aidan fancies himself as a bit guitar maestro, he’s made a career out of going to gigs and challenging guitarists to a solo. 80s hair-metal revivalists Steel Panther take the kid on during one of their concerts and the result is a rather epic time performance of “Eruption” by Van Halen and “You Really Got Me” by The Kinks.
5) Molly Lewis
To play us out: Friend of FRED and all-round awesome person Molly Lewis finally returns to YouTube with a brand new song. It’s from Joseph Scrimshaw’s fantabulous Flaw Fest and is a song about karate chopping people in the butt while playing Goldeneye.

In the first of what will hopefully be a number of videos, we are proud to present the first ever Dragon*Con performance by Molly Lewis at the GONZOROO concert 2011!
We had lots of amazing people perform on the night and Molly charmed the crowd with the best of them. Here is her set in full:

This month has become a bit of blur for your faithful internet reporter. A trip to Dragon*Con in Atlanta at the start of the month combined with a tour of the UK towards the end and this Irishman is ready for a quiet October. However, it has resulted in my month’s Favourite Things to be a much more personal one than normal. So read on for my rambling recommendations of this past September, below.
1) Molly Lewis
I was lucky enough to be on two panels at Dragon*Con with Molly and hang out with her a little bit. Not only is she an extremely talented musician but she’s also a lot of fun.
I’ve been listening to her EP I Made You a CD, But I Eated It on pretty regular rotation and shall now recommend it to you.
You can purchase and listen to it and more via her bandcamp page. But for a taster check out this video below of her most recent song.
2) Sylvester McCoy
Since meeting the man during Con weekend I literally can’t shut up about it. He is such an awesome actor and genuinely down-to-earth human being. Not only was he hilarious over the course of the weekend but was a delight to everyone he met. I can’t wait to see him in the forthcoming The Hobbit movies. Gush, gush, gush.
We’ve shown it here on the website before, but it’s worth reposting until the cows come home. If the cows do indeed know their way. Sylvester McCoy cold reads the Pandorica speech originally acted by Matt Smith. Prompted by our very own Ken Plume.
3) Jonathan Coulton
The always personable (and hairy) Mr Coulton was another musician to make a dent in my September. His new album Artificial Heart was released this month and you should be listening to it or buying it here and then listening to it.
And for a hint of some of the musicality that lies within, listen to this hear thing with pictures.
4) The People’s Republic of Venture
Run by the wonderful Anne-Marie, PRoV does a kick-ass job every year of giving out cool Venture Bros. swag to the masses at the Con. Lots of badges, pin-up cards, cool tins, essentially anything you can think of. For example this great pin which currently sits atop my night stand.
And she was even kind enough to make us some FRED ribbons for our Con badges too!
Everyone might be talking about R.E.M.‘s announcement to call it a day this month but they weren’t the only band hanging up their guitars. The object of my teenage musical obsession for a long time, The Bluetones, played their final ever gigs this month. After six studio albums and a 17 year constant touring schedule they decided to call it quits.
I have been a rabid fan since I was 15 (please note, that is not 17 years ago, I’m not THAT old) and have been to several of their gigs which often requires flying to England to do so.
This month I had the opportunity to catch two of their final shows, along with a bunch of friends I’ve met because of the band over the years. It was emotional.
Here is a song of theirs, the video was directed by Edgar Wright who happened to put their songs in both Spaced and Scott Pilgrim. So there.
