Milo Howls the Classics

Hello, there, Comfy Chairers! This is the last of four, yes, count them, I know you won't, uploads to the old Comfy Chair Cinema.

You know, old Milo (well, he's not old, maybe WHATCC should say ol' Milo) has been itching to get into a Comfy Chair movie. He can't act, he can't dance, he takes direction badly, and he only knows a couple of tricks.

However - he can sing!

In fact, he can sing so beautifully that the Record Offers On TV People came to us and asked if they could work in conjunction with We Here at the Comfy Chair to put together a special record offer for the public at large.

And we said yes.

So sit back, grab a handful of Hot Tamales from Ethel at the concession stand, and enjoy my little fella Milo showing off his musical ability in "Milo Howls the Classics."

Live Music!

Hello again, music lovers. OK, OK, now sit back down and put away your beers. This is not the kind of music you heard in the clip below.

This is culture, dammit!

The day after that great Hackensaw Boys concert, We Here at the Comfy Chair were to play our big-ass clarinet solo/duet with the mighty and feared Blacksburg Community Band. The band's spring concert was Sunday, May 4.

My clarinetting partner Mary and I practiced, together and with the band, for many a month bringing this together. Here are the fruits of our labor.

By the way, speaking of fruits, some nice Lemonheads would go great with such a performance. Be sure to visit Ethel at the concession stand and buy a pack.

Live Music!

Hello, music lovers! We at the Comfy Chair have a special treat for you.

As you know, We Here at the Comfy Chair are particularly fond of the Hackensaw Boys. WHATCC went to see them in the lovely town of Floyd, VA in May. A great day, great music, lots of dogs and hippies.

Below is a little song from The Boys as they strolled out into the crowd. It's a personal favorite, "We Are Many." (The line from Ward about "confiscating the camera" was a little joke to us, the Comfy Chair.)

Grab a beer, get it from your kitchen, the Comfy Chair doesn't have its liquor license yet, and dance around, please!


We're Back!

Peep Opp Ork Ah-Ah

Well, hello, cinemaniacs! Bet you thought we'd closed down the Comfy Chair Cinema for good, didn't you?

You were almost right.

See, something amazing happened here at the old cinema. We Here at the Comfy Chair adopted a dog. And sure, we could board him and go on trips and make movies of the giant rubber stamp, but as far as getting out a bunch of crap and actually making a movie? Forget it. And so our moviemaking has suffered.

But strangely enough, on the Easter Weekend, a weekend in which We Here at the Comfy Chair had an extra day off our day jobs, we sat down and made an actual movie. The doggie (Milo, for those of you keeping score at home), was surprisingly good throughout the entire process, which bodes well for later movies.

Last year WHATCC made a little short movie starring Peeps, the Easter Candy. It was called "Bollypeep!" Well, this Easter we decided to continue on a theme. And so we bring you this year's Easter offering, "Peep Opp Ork Ah-Ah."

Anyone familiar with the Jet Screamer episode of "The Jetsons" will know the song in question. It's our (here at the Comfy Chair) favorite Jetsons episode. It features the singing of no less a person himself than the wonderful Howard Morris.

So please, sit down, relax - we bet you haven't relaxed in ages! - grab some popcorn from Ethel there at her post, and watch "Peep Opp Ork Ah-Ah."
