The Other Geoff Geis recently allowed his Facebook wall to be public. This is good news for me, the Real Geoff Geis, because it makes it much easier for me to keep up with his busy life!
Geoff has spent a long time harvesting his runic:
Geoff doesn’t only discuss Mousehunt. He also loves getting drunk.
He’s into street dancing:
He likes electronics and office supply stores:
He recently had a birthday, but it wasn’t that big of a deal:
“Not everybody’s a perfect person in the world. Everyone kills people, murder people, steals from you, steals from me, whatever.” - T. Pryor
This is a sharp contrast to the talking points being peddled by the Buckeyes during the week leading up to last year’s game against Southern Cal, when Ohio State wide receiver Ray Small said, “Here at Ohio State, they teach you to be a better man. [At USC], it’s just all about football.”
Football and killing, Ray. Get it straight.
Recently, the Vaselines had their catalog reissued in a deluxe package, and the band was propelled once again into the spotlight, fifteen years after Kurt Cobain had lifted them out of obscurity for a brief period of time in the mid-nineties.
Samuel588 has kind of learned how to play their song “Son of a Gun.” But only kind of. He doesn’t know the song very well, and he’s playing some wrong chords:
User 280km also “covered” this song, although his cover is suspect - I get the impression that the backing vocals and guitar/drum track was taken straight from Nirvana’s cover of the song, as featured on their 1992 oddities record “Incesticide”:
User deedeehyman had this to say about 280k’s video:
“a cover is performing the artist song this is just playing along, sorry if you cant read english its probally just as much as a mind fark as me trying to read the rest of ur comments, but you did do a good job at playing along, but next time can you sing it aswell and maybe edit your own drum n bass lines in its punk vocals arnt meant to sound good just listern to jonny rottern from sex pistols”
While I had a hard time finding videos of people covering Vaselines songs that had not previously been covered by Nirvana, I did find plenty of people who covered “Jesus Doesn’t Want Me For a Sunbeam,” which Nirvana played during their 1993 performance for MTV’s “Unplugged” series.
User Curtsey and her boyfriend play a pretty straight-ahead cover of the song that ends up being quite disappointing when neither of them actually sings the song. They do have some changing colors and fake-looking flowers in their video, though.
Offaloffice has a pretty boring version of the song (although he DOES sing it). That said, he is wearing a pretty rad cloaked skeleton costume while playing, and he therefore deserves to have his video embedded on our internet site:
In this video, Courtney Love and Francis Bean Cobain go shopping:
For those of you who are interested in finding out more about Samuel588, here’s an original song that he and his friend Leigh wrote, although it definitely seems like Leigh is the leader of this particular duo:
This is a video of Jose Canseco’s MMA debut over the weekend. It will probably be taken down soon.
