K-Fed Tries to Get You to Buy His Album With His Used Tennies

by on Sep.18, 2006, under articles

I wouldn’t buy this album if K-Fed promised me the world, let alone his used shoes that he wore to the Teen Choice Awards. K-Fed is a leech of the worst kind and he has no real talent. He is definitely riding on Britney’s coattails.

The shoes just happen to be the second place prize. First place gets a trip for two to L.A. for his Halloween album release party, which Brit will host.

They should fly me to L.A. just for getting through the entire album.

Utter nonsense. K-Fed, your fifteen minutes are up.

Cannabis & Country Music: Willie Nelson Busted for Possession

by on Sep.18, 2006, under articles

Possession of marijuana and narcotic mushrooms, that is. According to Yahoo, “a search of the bus produced 1 1/2 pounds of marijuana and 0.2 pounds of narcotic mushrooms, according to state police.”

Woot, Willie got high! Shame on politicians for not decriminalizing this stuff already. What’s the worst that can happen? He drives the speed minimum and thinks he’s going lightning fast?

Ya gotta be a big jerk for busting Willie.

Here’s a vid:

Lukas Rossi Better Than Radiohead!

by on Sep.18, 2006, under articles

Lukas Rossi performed Radiohead’s “Creep” better than the original singer. Destined to become Tommy Lee’s (insert band name here) lead singer, Lukas won that role on the show Rockstar. Supernova was a band name already in use when Tommy Lee attempted to dub his band with that name. The original Supernova, a punk band, sought an injunction to protect the name and won. Tommy Lee & Co. are searching for another name as we speak. Anyone want to speculate as to what they’ll name it?

R.E.M. Inducted Into Music Hall of Fame

by on Sep.18, 2006, under articles

Woohoo for Michael Stipe and Co. with this wonderful honor. Listening to R.E.M. reminds me of the times I lived at home with my parents and when MTV still played music.

This news is good enough for a vid:


Congratulations!

Bruce Dickinson to Sharon Osbourne: Suck it

by on Sep.13, 2006, under articles

Actually, the entire interview with Iron Maiden’s frontman, Bruce Dickinson, can be found here. Here is a snippet:

“What we do is we are a heavy metal band and what we care about is our fans. That’s it. So our strength comes from that simplicity. You know, what do I care if I never appear on reality TV? ‘Fucking great, thank you! Can I have it in writing?’ But in her world, that’s really important. In her world, it’s really important what you look like. In her world, facelifts are really important. In my world, I don’t give a fuck. I get old and I get wrinkly. Who gives a shit?”

A musician that speaks up against Ozzfest and Sharon Osbourne?!? Bruce Dickinson and Iron Maiden are legends in the heavy metal arena and they wanna know, “Where are the kids?!??”. Not bowing to corporate hoopla and continuing to show fans everywhere, who’s the reigning boss of the heavy metal scene, it’s definitely Iron Maiden.

And now, for a video, “Wicker Man”:

Lyrics – White ‘N Nerdy – Weird Al Yankovic

by on Sep.12, 2006, under articles

White & Nerdy————
Parody of “Ridin Dirty’” by Chamillionaire
New lyrics by Al Yankovic

They see me mowin’
My front lawn
I know they’re all thinking I’m so white and nerdy
Think I’m just too white and nerdy
Think I’m just too white and nerdy
Can’t you see I’m white and nerdy?
Look at me, I’m white and nerdy
I wanna roll with
The gangstas
But so far they all think I’m too white and nerdy
Think I’m just too white and nerdy
Think I’m just too white and nerdy
I’m just too white and nerdy.
Really really white and nerdy.

First in my class here at MIT
Got skills, I’m a champion at D&D
MC Escher – that’s my favorite MC
Keep your 40, I’ll just have an Earl Grey tea
My rims never spin, to the contrary
You’ll find that they’re quite stationary
All of my action figures are cherry
Steven Hawking’s in my library
My MySpace page is all totally pimped out
Got people beggin’ for my top eight spaces
Yo, I know pi to a thousand places
Ain’t got no grills but I still wear braces
I order all of my sandwiches with mayonnaise
I’m a whiz at Minesweeper – I could play for days
Once you see my sweet moves you’re gonna stay amazed
My fingers’ movin’ so fast I’ll set the place ablaze
There’s no killer app I haven’t run
At Pascal, well I’m number one
Do vector calculus just for fun
I ain’t got a gat but I got a soldering gun
Happy Days is my favorite theme song
I could sure kick your butt in a game of ping pong
I’ll ace any trivia quiz you bring on
I’m fluent in JavaScript as well as Klingon

They see me roll on
My Segway
I know in my heart they think I’m white and nerdy
Think I’m just too white and nerdy
Think I’m just too white and nerdy
Can’t you see I’m white and nerdy
Look at me, I’m white and nerdy
I’d like to roll with
The gangstas
Although it’s apparent I’m too white and nerdy
Think I’m just too white and nerdy
Think I’m just too white and nerdy
I’m just too white and nerdy
How’d I get so white and nerdy

I’ve been browsin’, inspectin’
X-Men comics, you know I collect ‘em
The pens in my pocket, I must protect ‘em
My ergonomic keyboard never leaves me bored
Shopping online for deals on some writable media
I edit Wikipedia
I memorized Holy Grail really well
I can recite it right now and have you ROTFLOL
I got a business doing websites
When my friends need some code, who do they call?
I do HTML for ‘em all
Even made a homepage for my dog
Yo, I got myself a fanny pack
They were havin’ a sale down at The Gap
Spend my nights with a roll of bubble wrap
Pop, pop, hope no one sees me
Gettin’ freaky
I’m nerdy in the extreme
And whiter than sour cream
I was in AV Club and Glee Club and even the Chess Team
Only question I
Ever thought was hard
Was do I like Kirk
Or do I like Picard
Spend every weekend at the Renaissance Fair
Got my name on my underwear

They see me strollin’
They laughin’
And rollin’ their eyes ’cause I’m so white and nerdy
Just because I’m white and nerdy
Just because I’m white and nerdy
All because I’m white and nerdy
Holy cow, I’m white and nerdy
I wanna bowl with
The gangstas
But, oh well, it’s obvious I’m white and nerdy
Think I’m just too white and nerdy
Think I’m just too white and nerdy
I’m just too white and nerdy
Look at me, I’m white and nerdy

Soulless Heart – DoubleEdged Switchblade

by on Sep.11, 2006, under articles

Listening to some death metal this morning while perusing Myspace, I happened upon “Soulless Heart”. This band is pure metal, make no mistake. The first track I treated my ears to was “DoubleEdged Switchblade”. This song has ripping vocals and Slayer infused guitar riffs. This is slashing death metal with sounds that you will recognize. The vocals are dark and loud, definitely a sound that one could appreciate. They sound heavily influenced by Megadeth, Slayer, and older Metallica (before they sucked). This is widely evident in the track “Lost Truth”.

Verdict: Give it a listen. The only thing I’d change is the logo.

Vesperian Sorrow – Twilight of Azrael

by on Sep.11, 2006, under articles

Vesperian Sorrow sounds, at first, like a soundtrack to any horror flick. With eloquently put together keyboards and an influx of guitars meshed in nicely, it’s no wonder how they got 20k+ friends on Myspace.

In their own words:

Considered the premiere symphonic dark metal band in North America, Vesperian Sorrow’s music evokes the darkest depths of searing human tragedy juxtaposed with soaring heights of orchestrated symphonic melody.

I couldn’t have said that any better myself. It is a pleasurable mixing of keyboards, guitars, and some rockin’ metal vocals. Very melodic metal, but not in the 80′s hair band kind of way. My favorite track is “Twilight of Azrael”, give it a listen and you’ll see why. “Invisible Kingdom” invades your ears with the speed metal guitars and the awesomeness of it’s raw sound. The vocals of “Astrodramatica” remind me of Dani Filth, which is always a plus.

Bonus: They have their own website here.

Verdict: This is the best of the best in melodic speed metal with various creative influences infused. Buy “Regenesis Creation” today and make your dollar go further. Well worth it.

Cell Division – “Fingerprints” – The Best Song You’ve Never Heard

by on Sep.11, 2006, under articles

If you are into Goth/Alternative types of music, then you will be very pleased with this band’s offerings. The sound is not too mellow and the vocals are superb. Listen to them at their Myspace page and you will be pleasantly surprised. Sounding like a mixture of The Cure and Siouxsie & The Banshees, Cell Division definitely brings a unique blend of melodic goth-rock to your eardrums.

Verdict: This is good stuff. Won’t harm your ears in the slightest. This does not disappoint.
