"The Point" and its music still fresh today.

Kudos to the blog Aquarium Drunkard for running a piece recently on Harry Nilsson's music (including the wonderful "Me and My Arrow"), which underscored the 1971 animated film "The Point." Completely tolerable kid's cartoon on tolerance, it's the tale of Oblio - a boy with a round head in a mythical city of people with pointy heads. As you can guess, they don't take kindly to him. Ringo Starr narrates, and Harry Nilsson provided songs I remember singing along to, when young. Some kind soul has posted the whole thing onto YouTube.

Best intro ever; Mastodon rocked the Aqua Teen movie

I got clued in to the metal band Mastodon last year sometime. I needed something heavy and fast to listen to that wasn't prog or stoner rock, and this band just served it up: Named after a prehistoric creature, authors of an entire album revolving around Captain Ahab and Moby Dick (Leviathan), and touring with Tool later that fall? Yes, please.

Then I saw the Aqua Teen Hunger Force film. This is the opening scene, and yes, it's Mastodon.
