Lucas the Spider – “One Man Band”

Lucas the Spider is a test character created by digital animator Joshua Slice for the purpose of working on his techniques. “I’m responsible for the design, modeling, rigging, animation, lighting, and rendering,” he says. Lucas’ form was inspired by jumping spiders and is voiced by Slice’s four-year-old nephew, also named Lucas. People are saying that Lucas is the cutest spider EVAR and is helping cure their arachnophobia. Folks are also asking Slice to expand Lucas into his own movie!

“Come Sail Away / Let It Go” Smoosh-Up by Puddles Pity Party

Puddles Pity Party blends the song I spent my youth at skating rinks hearing, and the Frozen hit:

“(She’s) Flinging Meat”

Remember American Top 40 Countdown host Casey Kasem? As he was dying from Parkinson’s disease, his wife, Jean Thompson (best known for playing the blond bimbo trophy wife of Carla Tortelli’s worthless ex-husband Nick on “Cheers”) refused to let his own children see him, even after he had passed, and there was a very public scene where she was standing on the front lawn of their home, flinging raw hamburger meat at reporters camped outside.

The burning question here is, how has no one made a song about this yet? My high-school friend Erik Bell said, “I can’t believe no one has written a song about the time Casey Kasem was dying and his family was fighting over his body and his crazy bimbo wife was on the front lawn hurling raw hamburger meat at the paramedics. So it was time to step up. Not all heroes wear capes. Some of them play guitar in the garage late at night.”
