Idolator
Apparently because I've been a very good little boy this year, two of my masculine ideals—rugged-ass desert boogie king/Queens of the Stone Age frontman Josh Homme and middle-aged alcoholic vagabond/populist-elitist foodie Anthony Bourdain—are bringing me the exact opposite of a lump of coal when they come together for, according to Rolling Stone, the "weirdest holiday special ever" on a upcoming episode of Bourdain's No Reservations:
Here's the plot: While Bourdain cooks a traditional holiday feast at his Connecticut home, the Queens are rocking tracks including "Sick, Sick, Sick," "3's & 7's" and "Make It Wit Chu" at an ungodly volume in the basement rec room. When the band emerges, they're sporting appalling Christmas sweaters. "QVC graciously sent us the worst sweaters of all time," Homme explains. "I think someone Googled the word 'horrible' and that's how we found them." Bourdain, ever the arbiter of good taste, hasn't recovered: "Those Christmas sweaters were just the most terrifying things I've ever seen in my life. Beyond Sandra Lee on some really awful hallucinogen."
I haven't been this excited for a piece of television since the fourth season of The Wire.

Sounds intriguing to say the least.
When QOTSA played Louisville redneck bar Coyote's last month, they performed no material from RATED R, which was kind of shitty. It's great that they change the set list from show to show, but why reward the 20 or so obsessive fanatics who are following the band from show to show around the Midwest and punish those of us who, like, have regular jobs and lives and shit?
Yeah, I'm still peeved that I didn't get to hear "Monster in the Parasol" or "Feel Good Hit of the Summer" performed live.
