Why, it equals a truly incredible thing that is so great it might cause the universe to collapse in on itself.

Macaulay Culkin forms pizza-themed Velvet Underground tribute band

Macaulay Culkin has formed a pizza-related Velvet Underground tribute band.
Billed as Pizza Underground, the group brings together Culkin and four musicians from New York's anti-folk scene: Matt Colbourn, Phoebe Kreutz, Deenah Vollmer and Austin Kilham. Some 23 years after he starred in Home Alone, Culkin is credited with "percussion/kazoo/vocals".
Last week, the band released their debut: a demo tape featuring treasures such as I'm Waiting for Delivery Man and All the Pizza Parties. One highlight is the melancholy ballad Cheese Days, a take on These Days. "Cheese days," they sing, in tremulous strains. "I don't do too much toppings these days / [These] days I seem to order cheese, and don't say please, and then I walk away." Look out for Culkin's kazoo solo on Take a Bite of the Wild Slice.
Formed in February 2012, the Pizza Underground have performed recent gigs at Comic Arts Brooklyn and in early November, for a Lou Reed tribute show at anti-folk landmark the Sidewalk Cafe. Culkin's prior musical resume consists of cameos in music videos, including work with anti-folk icon Adam Green. From Green it is only a small hop to Kreutz, described by the New Yorker as "kingpin of the joke-folk genre".
The Pizza Underground's demo was recorded "live at Macaulay Culkin's house" in November 2013. No album has yet been promised.

I love this so goddamn much. This is exactly what I would do if I were ridiculously rich and had nothing better to do.

Well, he is Richie Rich after all!

Actually fucking pictured: actual fucking Macaulay Culkin as actual fucking Richie Rich, good job GA. <_<

Best part about that movie is when the bad guy finally gets to the family vault and finds out that all of their money is in real estate. That and Mike McShane being in it.

God I am revealing myself to be a connoisseur for the worst possible actor aren't I.
