The most amazing thing that’s ever been on TV
You all know how much I hate TV, but it redemed itself for a minute the other day.
White Gold and the Calcium Twins
(milk ad…but pretty much the best thing that’s ever been on the shit box called Television):
White gold is pretty much Spinal Tap meets Lenny Kravitz, T-Rex, Tarzan, Jimi Hendrix, Ted Nugent, Isaac Hayes, the obsessed, Parliament Funkadelic, with a good measure of Love American Style, The Incredible Hulk, Josie and the Pussy Cats, and more.

The guy is the singer in a real band in LA called The Ringers.
They’re great:

When I was starting to watch these clips, I didn’t want to like them. Now I need more.

Now that I’m watching this like, 10 times a day, I’m drinking a lot more milk. I have no idea why this is.

The Ringers will be the saviors of rock n roll. I saw them at an off-festival show at SXSW. Their set destroyed all others except for G.G. Elvis’. But I may be a bit biased in that opinion.
