After a recent trip to New York and staying at a hostel in Brooklyn, one thing was for certain: man oh man did I appreciate thepinkbismuth’s Lisztomania (Brooklyn Brat Pack Mash Up) video even more. You can check it out here. It’s perfect in every way.

The moment I got back to San Francisco I knew I had to make a tribute to a tribute to a tribute. Fortunately, with the help of fellow Yours Truly member Shelley, the SF Music Group (the group that goes to 11!), and our great friends, we pulled off our very own version of Lisztomania - the SF Brat Pack version, if you will.

I don’t think I’ve ever had this much fun doing a shoot. My only regret is that I wish had done this sooner, so maybe this could inspire a few more cities to do their own versions before winter hits (ahem…Chicago). Anyway, I hope everyone has as much fun watching this as we had making it, because really…it was a blast!

I never thought audience footage could be this interesting.  Very good Flaming Lips concert vid.

The Tori Paradox

andreainspired:

“…the character of Tori Scott (Leanna Creel) was added in later episodes as an initial sparring partner and later girlfriend for Zack. Originally, the final season consisted of thirteen episodes featuring the original cast and the cast members’ contracts with the show expired after those episodes were completed with the final graduation episode. However, NBC ordered more episodes of the show and Thiessen and Berkley refused to sign new contracts. Rather than producing new episodes with only four cast members, a new character, Tori Scott, was added to serve as a replacement for Kelly and Jessie.

Oddly enough, the promos for the final season of the show featured Kelly, Jessie, and Tori together, despite the fact that the actresses never actually appear in an episode together. Rather, the network alternated between “Kelly and Jessie” and “Tori” episodes each week.

During the “Tori” episodes, it was never explained why Jessie and Kelly were not present and likewise for the “Kelly and Jessie” episodes, no mention was made of Tori. When the season aired in the UK, the episodes tended to be reordered so that the Tori episodes and the Jessie and Kelly episodes were shown together. This was scarcely less confusing, since no mention was ever made of Tori’s sudden disappearance and Kelly and Jessie’s equally sudden reappearance partway through the season.

Notably, Lisa wears her hair differently in the Tori episodes.

The term “Tori Paradox” is derived from Chuck Klosterman’s essay about the show in his book, Sex, Drugs, and Cocoa Puffs: A Low Culture Manifesto.” (via Wikipedia)

And that, ladies and germs, is The Tori Paradox.

"Almost every skit involving Raekwon or his partner, Ghostface Killah, involves somebody yelling at somebody else. This is the Wu-Tang vision of living in the projects, “The Wire” before there was “The Wire."
