Queens Of The Stone Age (Kinda) Rock The Travel Channel

So last night I hunkered down with a big bowl of stuffing for the long-awaited (in my household, anyway) appearance of Queens Of The Stone Age, decked out in winter finery straight off the Sears clearance rack, on the special holiday episode of Anthony Bourdain’s No Reservations. Who knew what kind of shenanigans would be afoot? Perhaps Josh Homme would strangle a turkey to death with his bare hands, or everyone would get so messy on egg nog that something would end up on fire. Or at least someone would vomit. But alas, the band was mostly relegated to interstitial entertainment between Bourdain briefing us on foie gras and the fine sport of curling, and while the caroling Queens’ appearance did bring some LOLs, other tomfoolery never materialized. Still, here they are talking about what made them decide to hook up with Bourdain in the first place, plus their alternative soundtrack for last night’s show. Pretty sure this is actually more screen time than they got last night. Sniffle.
