Queens Of The Stone Age Prepare A Little Chrismas Pudding
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.
