For those who are shit-ignorant of the late-night Adult Swim programming block on the Cartoon Network, this film of the Aqua Teen Hunger Force series may strike you as balls-out strange, since it involves neither teens nor water. Even us fans know you could bottle this animated series about foulmouthed fast-food products from New Jersey and call it instant stupid. No way do the show's writers, directors and voice actors Matt Maiellaro and Dave Willis fill eighty-seven minutes of screen time with nonstop laughs. And to call the animation crude would be high praise. But they succeed enough of the time to make a perversely entertaining movie. ATHF is better in small doses, but it whups the ass of the maddeningly successful TMNT as multiplex mischief. With sassy Master Shake (voiced by Dana Snyder) calling the shots for Frylock (Carey Means), a flying box of sarcastic fries, and Meatwad (Willis), a dumb-ass ball of beef, the world will again be safe for a penis-shaped alien, a man-raping dog and my fave villains from the Mooninite Army, Ignignokt and Err. OK, I've told you Aqua Teen newbies what you're in for. It's your call.

    “Is It True”

    Brenda Lee | 1964

    As the British Invasion reached its peak in 1964, Brenda Lee went from Nashville to London to record one of her hardest-rocking hits, her perky vocal backed by a stuttering, squalling guitar. That guitar was played by session musician Jimmy Page, yet to skyrocket to fame with first the Yardbirds and then Led Zeppelin. "She said to me, 'I've come here to make a record with the British sound,'" remembered producer Mickie Most. "She felt she wouldn't get the same sound in Nashville because they're only just catching up on the British beat group sound of about six months ago."
