Tool - Ænema/Bill Hicks

Another great song by Tool. This happens to be the title track of their 1996 album "Ænema", and it is very much based on one of stand-up comedian and satirist Bill Hicks's sketches. The same happens with other songs such as "Third Eye" (from the same album).
Here is the official video:





By the way, if you don't know who Bill Hicks is, then you absolutely don't know what you're missing here! So here go some of his stand-up comedy numbers:

Melvins - Honey Bucket

The Melvins might very well be one of the most popular and influent Rock/Metal bands of the 90's. Although they have never achieved mainstream success, their underground fame and credibility are undeniable, and they have influenced bands such as Nirvana, Soundgarden, Tool and Mastodon with their fusion of sludge, hardcore, experimental, doom and stoner elements. "Honey Bucket", from the album "Houdini", is one of their most well-known "in your face" songs.
And here goes the official vídeo:

The Raven

This is certainly one of the films I'm looking forward to see the most. It tells the story of a murderer whose crimes mirror in the stories of Edgar Allen Poe. And to catch the murderer, Poe joins forces with the police. A very promissing plot indeed. And I also recommend everyone to read the poem "The Raven", by Edgar Allen Poe.
Here goes the trailer:




And here goes a funny, unique rendition of the poem, by... The Simpsons:
