There’s only 24 hours left to donate to my VHS documentary!
Any little bit helps. I want to thank everyone for the support. This is shaping up to be an amazing movie with so many cool people involved. It truly means a lot to have so many people help out on my first feature-length movie. If you still haven’t donated and want to help out, get rewards, and get involved, then please do so.
Can’t wait for everyone to see the finished product!
Finally found the first issue of the Married with Children comic for only a dollar. Cannot wait to read this one. I need them all. If you have any old MWC comics or merchandise please message me on here. I want to talk. ;]
Found this really great issue of Cracked that parodies a bunch of Nickelodeon shows from the 90s like Doug, Rugrats, Clarissa Explains it All, and Secret World of Alex Mack. I’ll be posting some scans from the inside. It’s great and a cool thing to add to my Nickelodeon collection. I got a bunch of other old Cracked issues with Simpsons parodies and whatnot, too.
Found this dope ass issue of Wizard the other day locally. So happy to add this to my Simpsons collection. Bought two copies so I could rip the poster out of one!
I am fucking god! This has got to be one of the absolute rarest Nickelodeon tapes. (Taken with instagram)

Digable Planets released two great albums in the early 90s, but this one is my favorite of the two. It features a couple weak songs, but the strong tracks way outweigh the weak ones, and as a whole, the entire sound/experience is fantastic. Butterfly, Doodlebug, and Ladybug Mecca all have unique vocal delivers that flow with their smooth jazz-influenced beats and compliment each other well. They aren’t super technical, but their sound is like butter and their lyrics have interesting political leanings. I can say without a doubt that no album flows as smooth as this. Think of that feeling of being incredibly thirsty and taking a nice swig of Coke, that’s Reachin’ defined. It is poetry in a small jazz club. It results in endless snapping and head-bobbing. I put this album on any time I want to relax. “Rebirth of Slick” is one of my favorite songs ever recorded.
I only have a few episodes left till I finish watching all of Salute Your Shorts. The show holds up so well and is so much fun. It makes me depressed there were so few episodes. Now I need to try to find some Salute Your Shorts merchandise.
