Of singing henchmen, jock rock and more

This is the day
Your love has made.
We’re all here to watch the
Butterfly King give her the ring.
Joining hands and hearts, ’cause…
— From “Henchman 21 and 24’s Wedding Song”

I love The Venture Brothers. It’s a quality cartoon and every episode is a gem. They’ve just concluded their second season and I can’t wait for the Season 2 box set. The Season 1 box set is so exellent I’d run back into my burning house to save it. OK, that’s not true, I’d just make sure the replacement cost is counted in the insurance claim since it’s only $23 at Amazon. I’m not an imbecile.

But their web site is a little on the shabby side. It’s been under construction for years.

For one thing, they’ve got some great downloads but they’re all over the place. Sure you can download Brock’s workout music (“Revv Me Up”) and the boys’ death theme (“Look Away”) from the main page, but if you want to hear the Monarch’s phone calls from prison you STILL have to go to IGN’s site even though it’s been two years since they debuted. And the beautiful song that the henchmen sang in the Monarch’s wedding episode three weeks ago is also available for download…but that’s over at Quick Stop Entertainment (a/k/a “Moviepoopshoot.com” a/k/a Kevin Smith’s merchandising site) and I wouldn’t even know it if I hadn’t been reading the Wikipedia entry.

SO!

For your convenience, here are the links to all the MP3s all in one place. You know, like the Venture Brothers web site should be doing.

Sing with the Monarch and Friend: “Monarch Drummer Boy”

Another update!
“MItre Storm,” the love theme of Myra and Dr. Venture, is on Doc Hammer’s MySpace.

Now, anyone know where I can find “Hobbit Ride”, Brock’s Zep-esque jock rock from the pilot episode?
