Updates to some recent posts:

I went ahead and converted some Lord Buckley clips to MP3, to update my Lord Buckley playlist on Imeem, attached to this post. The conversion process didn't seem to harm the sound quality noticably. I just couldn't sleep at night knowing Marc Antony's funeral oration wasn't included in my Lord Buckley playlist. So what happens when I upload the files? Most stream fine, but "Marc Antony's Funeral Oration" is only available as a 30 second sample. Can't find any logic as to which files are or are not streamable, with parts of an album streaming fine while other selections from the same album don't stream at all. Fortunately, "Willie the Shake" has the same speech, though it's not my preferred version. I do enjoy his discussion with the interviewer afterwards; I intend to work the phrase "every fox has got his box" into my conversation as much as possible.

I just posted an installment of my patent-pending WJCNotW feature, so it's probably too early for another one, especially one that lacks Wii convergence. But I do feel the need to share this with you all: Omegathon, video game uber-challenge associated with the geekfest Penny Arcade Expo, will be kicking off not with the pre-announced Pac-Man, but with Jenga. Like, the physical blocks on a table. I just have to wonder how many spoiled online gamers will petulantly knock the table over in disgust at some point.

Lord Buckley on You Bet Your Life:
This is included in one of the You Bet Your Life best-of DVDs, which I heartily recommend. They really hold up well, due both to Groucho's quick wit (though the shows were actually quite tightly-scripted), and the wide range of contestants, famous and not.

As for Lord Buckley, this and other clips can be found here. A biography, or more properly an oral history, was published under the title Dig Infinity! It is OOP, but a well-stocked local library should have a copy of the book, and more importantly the accompanying CD, with performances and interviews. An album is also available on eMusic. Good stuff, all around.

And finally, Lord Buckley on The Beany & Cecil Show.

UPDATE: I've created a Lord Buckley playlist on iMeem. So far, only one song, but I intend to upload more of his stuff soon.
