Space Ghost and Bjork Explain Love
For all of Adult Swim’s many cartoons, and despite the glory that is the Venture Bros., for my money the best show that was ever on Adult Swim was Space Ghost: Coast to Coast. I know I’m in a minority here, but whether you agree with me or not, hopefully you’ll find it noteworthy that Adult Swim had finally released the fifth and presumably final Space Ghost DVD set (Volume 5) without any fanfare whatsoever, available only at the Adult Swim store for $15. If you don’t find it noteworthy, then watch the above clip of Space Ghost and Icelandic songstress/crazy person Bjork, with a guest appearance by Radiohead’s Thom Yorke. If you’re not convinced, try the Kentucky Nightmare Shark Whiskey.
