Monday mix: Beginner to pro in no time

“South Park” creators Trey Parker and Matt Stone’s Broadway hit, “The Book of Mormon,” swept the Tonys on Sunday night. As a shout-out to them, I’m going to stray from the norm and give ya two clips, both from “Team America: World Police.” Hope you enjoy and happy Monday! Click here to read other Monday mix posts.

Monday mix: The Effects of Alcohol by Age

It’s official. Summer-y weather is here in Grand Forks. There are graduation parties and barbecues, camping and road trips. I thought it couldn’t hurt to post a reminder to enjoy in moderation because if you’re like me, you can’t enjoy yourself like you used to. Here’s a clip from “Scrubs” that poses this change so perfectly. Hope you enjoy and happy Monday! Click here to view other Monday mix clips.

Monday mix: A tolerable twist to a song that haunts your dreams

Bah, Monday. I know what day you probably wish it were, and so does Rebecca Black…and Stephen Colbert, The Roots, Taylor Hicks and Jimmy Fallon. There have been lots of remakes to this song that haunts your subconscious, but here’s my favorite version. (Colbert actually “autotune”-s his voice.) Hope you enjoy and happy Monday.

Monday mix: ‘I don’t make friends, I make acquaintances’

With Minnesota’s legislature winding down, Indiana Gov. Mitch Daniels pulling out of the 2012 presidential race and former Minnesota Gov. Tim Pawlenty announcing his official run via Web video Sunday, I felt this clip would be the most appropriate for today’s Monday mix. Hope you enjoy and happy Monday!

Here’s the Herald article about Tim Pawlenty, and here’s the story on Mitch Daniels.

Monday mix: Coffee … please

For this Monday’s mix, I’m going with a scene from FX’s TV show “Louie.” It stars comedian, writer Louis C.K., and it’s hilarious! Season 2 will air on Thursday, June 23. The thing I like about Louie’s comedy is he writes his own material and he makes it a point to always create new comedy: he won’t recycle the same joke for his taped specials. Hope you enjoy and happy Monday. Click here to watch previous Monday mix posts.

Monday mix: Is this chicken free range?

This clip’s from IFC’s TV show, “Portlandia.” It stars SNL’s Fred Armisen and Carrie Brownstein. Season 1 recently finished its first run on IFC, and luckily, it was picked up for season 2. The clip’s a little longer, but it’s dead-pan and worth it. Hope you enjoy and happy Monday! Click here to view other Monday mix posts.
