Fans of twisted, subversive comedy take note: The first season of MTV2's often brilliant "kids" show, Wonder Showzen (which I first gushed about here), is set to be released on DVD March 28th according to this and this. I'm psyched, are you? (You sicko creep.)
And if that weren't already enough, there's even better news. According to an interview with (H.) Jon Benjamin on the January 7th episode of the Sound of Young America, Dr. Katz is finally coming to DVD! Benjamin discusses doing the commentary for the Season 1 DVD in the interview, as well as his thoughts on Squigglevision (the style of animation used on Dr. Katz and on the 1st season of Home Movies, another show which features his voice), hosting the ongoing comedy thing Tinkle with David Cross and Todd Barry, and why he doesn't do traditional stand-up. You can hear the unedited Jon Benjamin interview here.
Anyway, this is awesome news for fans of Dr. Katz who have been petitioning for a DVD release for quite a while. My "temporary" copies of the series (previously discussed here), while good for quick fix, obviously can't compete with high quality editions with commentary and all that. I can't wait. [No release date has been set so far, and sites like Amazon aren't yet listing it.]

Slackin'
Man, has it been over a month?? The inspiration comes and goes (all too quickly, I suppose). New posts are coming soon, though--promise. Expect to see my 2005 best-of (it's so late, I know), as well as posts on why I can't seem to get enough pop these days and how I'm learning to love my ever-present sense of self-loathing (and maybe a blurb on my love of hypens)...soon-ish.
In the meantime, a PSA:
Are you like me? Do you enjoy that crazy P2P filesharing the kids are into these days? If so, you might care to know that the man is watching you. Whether you're Bittorrenting, Soulseeking, or riding your eDonkey, chances are that organizations such as the MPAA and the RIAA are spying on you.
Even if you have a software firewall installed (you should) and/or a firewall enabled on your router, you may still be at risk. I found this out recently for myself when I installed PeerGuardian, a small, open source IP-blocking firewall for Windows and OSX. I was Bittorrenting something, instructions on how to better care for my sickly grandmother or some shit, and sure enough PeerGuardian was showing hits from all sorts of weird IPs trying to scan my port. So unless you want to stop all the downloading, I suggest you do the same--install PeerGuardian and stop this ridiculous intrusion on your digital privacy.
