Rock on, BON!

 

In Perth Austrailia they have erected (hee hee) a statue of the late ACDC frontman Bon Scott who died in 1980 of alcohol poisoning. Check out the bag pipes!

Anti Christ superstar VS. Jackass Blowhard

I don’t think it would shock too many to know that I am not  a fan of Bill O’reilly. It’s not even the political ideology that I find so bothersome (although I do detest his whole  ”Im an independent” when it’s documented that he’s a registered republican, be up front!. I could actually respect his whole “conservative” desire to turn the clock back to 1950’s “leave it to Beaver” times if he was at least up front about his agenda). No what I think bothers me most about the guy is that if you ever actually watch the Oreilly factor  ( or most of the better known shows on Fox news) all it is is a bully fest. You dont agree with O’reilly? you’re going to get cut off, shouted down, or dismissed as some “liberal” etc blah blah blah. maybe it’s because I work in the rock music world that I get so insane when people like O’Reilly attempt to blame the evils of the world on god for bid rock music. Whether it be Insane clown posse dressed up as “serial killer clowns who rap, or a guy wearing a $30 contact lens and his sister’s eye make up, the fact that someone could with a straight face blame the current state of the angry suburban youth on these idiots is laughable to me!.  Imagine my fascination when Marilyn Manson went on the “Oreilly factor”e . How would O’reilly handle it?. I think he was expecting some brainless dope who would try to be shocking by jumping up on his desk and defecating on it, but Manson is actually smarter than a lot of the “legitimate”  guests that you’ll see wearing suits on that show. I found it so entertaining to see O’reilly’s constant attempts to rattle him with  questions like “why do you swear in your music? and what about the children who listen?”…….. There’s really not a lot of new ground broken here but it’s pretty interesting to watch

Picking up where the Darkness left off?…….

 

 

Nah, THESE guys are really good!. People are always asking me what I am listening to, like my being on the radio somehow makes me an expert on what is good!. No, knowing what is GOOD makes anyone an expert on knowing what is good, the job has little to do with it!. These guys are from Australia, they’re called the Galvatrons, I dont know if Im sold on the guy’s voice, but I really like the flow of the song, I find myself unable to stop from smiling or bobbing my head when I hear it.

 

 YAAAAY MELODY!. Check it out!

Ok, one more amazing “Fail”.lol

 

 That is all, end failed TRansmission!

I live for the fail blog

I could spend hours and on many occasions HAVE obsessing on failblog. You probably have a LIFE and do not have such time to channel into mocking the misery of others. So for you they condense some of it into a neat and effective package. Enjoy

Dorks for Obama

I know the idea of the electoral college has made it about more than just who gets the most actual votes, to become president one has to reach out to different factions of society to acquire the necessary 270 electoral votes to become our commander and chief. That said, the latest special interest group to exercise it’s political might: sci fi dorks for Obama. Behold! Eh, you can’t always choose the guest list, sometimes you have to put up with those who show up at your party. I guess Ill still vote for him anyway despite this guy’s support!

Just when I think people cannot be any more morbid, disrespectful, or just plain stupid, I see this. This picture is allegedly of the last remains of Kurt Donald Cobain. Check out the link to find out what is to become of them.

Apocalyptica: THE greatest thing ever seen.lol

SO Friday on my show I had the honor, and the sheer spectacle of APOCALYPTICA live in the studio during my show as my sort of Letterman/Conan like house band. If you don’t know their story these guys are classically trained (as in they learned to play classical music, studied at a prestigious conservatory in Finland) yet somehow could never get the metal out of their veins. They play cello,….yes, CELLO> They started out doing only Metallica covers, did I mention it’s all on cello?. They then expanded to Sepultura, faith no more, etc, and then began to do their own originals. Most of those who know them know them for their Metallica covers which have included everything from “Enter sandman”, to “Nothing else matters”, “One” and so on. SO they played in my studio for most of the day Friday and I could not believe the sounds that these guys were getting out of a bunch of cellos. Then I went to see them that night at Nokia, and if you replaced the cellos with guitars, you would be watching a textbook metal band. Watch this as they rip through “seek and Destroy”. The night i saw them they managed to recreate the guitar solo almost verbatim, ON CELLO!!!. There are many versions of the song floating around, I picked this one from Mexico City because the audio seemed the best. They bang their heads like any other metal band, this is seriously one of the strangest, weirdest, yet most amazing things I have ever seen.

R.I.P “Cool hand Luke”

You know I’m not one of those people who bums out when a celebrity dies because honestly why should their lives be any more precious than that of anyone else?/ However I have to say that im pretty bummed about Paul Newman who passed away over the weekend of cancer at 83. In a world filled with movie stars (basically people who look good and can spit out a sentence on cue), Paul Newman was a artist, just watch “Cool Hand Luke” , you watch that and just see the quiet, understated cool at work not to mention it’s a classic and one of the more entertaining films you’ll see (put that in your netflix queue).

The thing that bums me out is that here was a guy who was a true philanthropist……… You’ve probably seen the Newman’s own stuff when you’re in Path mark or wherever you shop.  Paul Newman put his name on everything from BBQ sauce, to dog food, to Microwave popcorn. You name it and he makes it. What you may not know is that he GAVE AWAY ALL OF THE MONEY TO CHARITY!. Think about it, that is probably the most selfless and yet “Gangsta” things anyone could do. Here’s this guy making these products that bring in hundreds of millions if dollars, and he’s basically said ” Give it ALL to charity, I don’t need it, Im already rich, put my face on the bottles of everything and watch it fly off the shelves”, and that is exactly what happened. I mean,  who does that?……. Bill Gates?… Oprah?………yeah they give away millions, but they’re both BILLIONAIRES and as much as we would all love to be lowly millionaires like Newman, most people who become millionaires remain millionaires by keeping every dime that comes to them. Most would never even think to build factories, turn a huge profit and then say ok now give it all away to orphans, global warming research, inner city schools, aids research, all the stuff that the government just cant seem to get around to finding the money for. On top of all of it he makes some of the most righteous microwave popcorn that you’lll ever chomp on.

 

Paul Newman, not just some old time actor, a man’s man, a philanthropist, and a man that “can eat 50 eggs”, gone.
