His eyes rolling back in his head were a nice touch. Intelligent design never took such a severe hit. I need to get Kirk Cameron and his banana-god on the case. Perhaps there’s a reason to create someone with a ultra-severe glandular problem AND a penchant for acting.

From CNN.com: Detroit’s miraculous economic recovery seemed impossible just months ago. After the big three collapsed, went into bankruptcy, or severely layed-off much of their workforce the city in the heart of Michigan was seemingly condemned to the fate of a ghost town. However, the exploding “clone-robot sex industry” quickly rescued what once was America’s worst city. Honda, with its sexy robot-clones, is now solidified in the city’s economic design. The “big four” are the toast of the town.

What amazes me about this video is how contemporary it feels. It fits perfectly with the current quality, tempo, and design of music videos crafted close to 2010. This, despite it being a music video made in the 90s, based on a movie from the 70s, based on a book from 1962.

Horrifyingly perfect. It almost makes me like children.

Missouri’s two favorite pastimes! http://www.crankyyellow.com/2009/08/01/meth-and-hotdogs-missouris-two-favorite-pastimes/ http://www.crankyyellow.com/2009/08/01/meth-and-hotdogs-missouris-two-favorite-pastimes/#comments Sat, 01 Aug 2009 21:42:23 +0000 angelos http://www.crankyyellow.com/?p=895 Hello everyone! I could explain to you why we havn’t been blogging for awhile….and why the site has been somewhat broken. But I won’t! Instead I would like to make you aware of our up-coming extravaganza this Friday, the 7th of August. From 7-11PM, we’ll be having a gallery opening for Meth and Hotdogs, a collection of cartoon-e bastards. There will be work from 30 to 40 artists from around the country (and some Canadians or something). It’ll be fun….it’ll be BEYOND fun. So..you know…BE THERE…er…HERE!

]]> http://www.crankyyellow.com/2009/08/01/meth-and-hotdogs-missouris-two-favorite-pastimes/feed/ 0 I am a bloggin’. http://www.crankyyellow.com/2009/06/17/i-am-a-bloggin/ http://www.crankyyellow.com/2009/06/17/i-am-a-bloggin/#comments Wed, 17 Jun 2009 21:51:16 +0000 Amanda B http://www.crankyyellow.com/?p=848 It’s hot as hell outside. The trash smells worse… like hot trash.
Jarritos soda is pretty delicious. If you are a Cherokee Street native, you should probably start going to the Mexican grocery stores and buying it, the mango kind.
Anyway, Cranky Yellow has been rearranging and has a few new artists and random fascinating objects.
Here are a few examples:

The shelves are no longer a place dominated by books!

Some nice cards by Ginger Dead.  (The second one from the left reads “I love you more than frozen peas and STDs.”)

A belt and a pot holder by Galacticat

A snail puppet and a shirt by Megan.

We have some nice masks by Ryan Frank! And a nice gray critter… who looks slightly confused but is oh-so soft!

And some great hemp jewelry by Beatnik Banana.

More soon!

I know, I know, your mind is blown. Expect to put up with more of this stuff until I have the time and energy to do some political rant-a-mataze!

Love,

My dreadful day was basically brutalized by an atrociously alienating alliteration of dumb depression. Though I’m a sack of  silently slithering sadness, you can still stop by Cranky Yellow. You’ll find an awesomely almighty algorithmic assortment of  ridiculously rad jingle junk and happy hordes of handmade happenings. Duh.

It is sitting quietly in the CY office waiting to be unleashed on the world. Soon you might see it for sale in the shop… That is if we ever want to get rid of it… but why would we do that?

But to my dismay, nothing interesting happened. Usually I get a “Hey girl! Where you finnin’ to go!?” or a “Can I have some change?” But none of that. However, when I got to work, the first thing David did was give me a beer, so I guess that works out okay.

And well, my boyfriend is supposed to be coming here in August, he’s from the Netherlands. However, we are running into some issues. If anyone wants to donate all their money to Cranky Yellow so we can get him over here, feel free to do that. Because he is wonderful and you will all love him.

Also, we’ve been trying to get bands and musicians interested in planning here, so if you are interested contact us with the date that you’d like to play and we’ll check the calendar and go over the details with you.

Pretty complicated, right?

ALSO, I’ve really been digging this website lately -

Especially the video of the Tallest Man on Earth. Superb!

I love you (sometimes)

-Amanda
