Three and a Half Letters video
Chickenfoot unveiled the video they made for "Three and a Half Letters (I Need a Job)".
I'm gonna admit I was a bit hestitant to like the song after only hearing it. Great groove, great sense of rage, but no real resolution to the song (for me). I mean, it's kinda tough to hear these words coming out of the mouth of someone who's done very well for himself.
And that's where the video comes in. It kind of brings a whole new perspective to it.
I know I can like this song now. It's a bit unwieldy to make a plea to help your local food banks on a CD, but they can do it on a video. And they did.
And now that the weather is getting colder-- and the holidays are coming-- the timing couldn't be more perfect for this.

The Walking Dead; AMC. 8 pm CST. 2nd Season Premiere.
The first season had a few moments of plot holes and bad dialogue, but overall it was great fun. The second season gets twice as many episodes (although, in a "brilliant" move, it will be split between this Fall and next Spring; I believe the monkeys who schedule NBC have been moonlighting at AMC...).
And there were some behind the scenes turmoil that caused series creator Frank Darabont to leave. The good news: the concept- and comic-creator, Robert Kirkman, is still involved. In fact, Season Two moves the story in the direction of the comic again as the group finds themselves on a farm.
