A picture of Steph's Baby

After countless web searching, I have found a picture of Stephanie McMahon's new baby. Here's the picture, in all it's glory:   now, onto other things   -Slant has to be one of the most retarded webzines online. If it wasn't for their undying love of Dario Argento Movies, I'd write them off completly.   -That Yates chick was found not guilty by insanity. My response: bullshit. It was five children, her own children might I add- that she killed. I don't care how crazy she is, that should count as guilty.   -Ever heard of David Icke? He's an anti-semetic nutcase who believes in a reptlilian alien illuminati that has taken over the government. Oh, and he thinks he's the son of God. And that he can communicate with the spirit world. His message board is full of wackos. Also, he thinks that somehow, the matrix is real, and he's had several books published.   -Lance Bass is gay. As I said in the music board, I thought he was "Bi, Bi, Bi". Christ, that joke sucked.   -Finally, Leena's avatar pictures are awesome as of late. Keep 'em coming Leeners.

The Final 2007 Year in Review

-Milky made a much needed return, helping to make TSM interesting again.   -Leena was banned for being a cunt who takes the internet as serious business, and made many aborted attempts at a return.   -Ron Paul supporters are fucking crazy.   -Chavez didn't become President for life (thank God), thus hurting the feelings of Cena's Writer and C-Bacon.   -Huckabee and Romney got more support, while Rudy continues to tank.   -Rosie became the worst fucking celebrity on Earth, left The View, revealed she's a Truther, and the list goes on.   -Brittney attempted a comeback...and failed.   -Something happened involving Chris Benoit...wildpegasus han't been heard from since.   -Hillary lost some footing in grounds to her goal to become president.   -Larry Craig has a wide stance, if you get my drift (hurr hurr hurr)   -Athiests yelled at each other on Youtube. So much for religion being the blame for everything. Here's a rule: guys who are teenagers and/or live at home with there parents should not be Athiests, because they can't say things intelligently. (teens and people who live at home, not Athiests.)   -Fark finally joined the ranks of Free Republic and Democratic Underground, as it is now a haven for truthers, trolls, conservative nutjobs, wanna be communists, and angry Athiests.   -Anna Nicole died. Her last movie is Oh, and yes, that's Chyna. Speaking of which, her appearence on Larry King was something else. She'll be on "Celebrity Rehab" in January, and the fact that such a show exists kills my soul a bit.  -Fuck Chocolate Rain, this is the best video on Youtube.   -"Grindhouse" tanked, yet "Alvin and the chipmunks" made a ton of cash. For fuck's sake America. Oh, and "No Country for Old Men" is the best movie of the year.   -Deon became the worst poster on TSM, and had his name changed to Douchebag. Carlito Brigante's stupidity continues unabated, as he got a girl pregnant and is getting in another fight. To quote snuffbox, "One day, ehme, the internet will take you as seriously as you take it."

Boy/Girl Song

Today's entry is named after an Aphex Twin Song.   -Well, as far as homework is concerned, it's back to the old grind for me, and that's just fine. Hell, it gives me something to do. Plus, sitting at the computer all day is boring.   -It seems like Czech left. My thoughts: If he's really gone, then I'm going to miss TSM's answer to the SNL Dana Carvey character Grumpy old man. That reminds me: I always thought that Carvey's "Massive Headwound Harry" character was underrated, as was Myer's "Lothar of the Hill People" and "Middle Age Man". I always thought Myers was at his best on SNL. Anyways, back on topic: I doubt he'll be gone for good. They always come back.   -Cool looking movie alert: Evil Aliens. I've heard mostly good stuff about this, and some people are calling it a splatter comedy classic. I think that it looks awesome. Unfortunately, the trailer is currently unavailable, but if or when it comes back, I'll be sure to post it. Anyways, it's getting festival and midnight showings right now, and should be out on DVD by September.   -Oh, another thing on SNL: Who do you think was an underrated character on the show?   -I saw the movie "Shadow: Dead Riot" on DVD last Friday night, and was disappointed. It has it's moments, but that's it: just moments. It's hard to believe that a zombie movie/women's prison movie/martial arts movie would be so disappointing, but it is. Still, it's not the worst zombie movie I've ever seen (That would be either "House of the Dead", "Dead Life", "Meat Market", or "Shatter Dead". Avoid those movies like the plague.)   That's all for now.

35-33

35.) Emerson, Lake, and Palmer-Love Beach Ok, so I never liked ELP, but that doesn't save this album. Granted, it was only recorded it because they owed it to their label, but that's no excuse. One of the worst Prog-Rock albums ever recorded, this is a lazy affair, without a single memorable moment. Even their most hardcore fans will tell you it sucks. Also has what may be one of the worst album covers ever.   34.) Cabaret Voltaire-Groovy, Laid Back, and Nasty Cabaret Voltaire are one of my favorite groups of all time. A band who's influence on electronic music is nearly unequaled, and can still be heard today. When they decided to do a house album back in 1988, it was a musical disaster. It's another album that tries to keep up with the times, which sucks considering that this is a group known for setting standards instead of following them. Also, Stephen Mallinder's voice is more pop oriented, and lacks any of the conviction of their previous work, which hurts not only their credibility, but also their creativity, thus making a flat out bad album. Cool album title though.   33.) Can-Saw Delight First bad sign: the album title itself is a bad pun. Another bad sign: This is a flat out dull album, without a single interesting moment, and sounds too much like a collaberation between Santana and a bloated Prog-Rock band instead of the freeform ethno-fusion jams that Can are known for, as well as some uninspired drumming from Jaki Liebezeit (who may be my favorite drummer of all time) and weak electronic wankery that sounds more like ELP than Can.

Memorial Day, My Brother Graduates.

-Well, happy memorial day. Or not. Depends on who you are. Me, I'm spending it in my dorm, sweating like a pig. Don't know why, since the air conditioner is on full blast.   -Yesterday, my brother finally graduated from Highschool. It's strange seeing this happen, since I still remember him as a newborn in my mother's arms. It may be cliche, but they really do grow up fast. Anyways, I'm really proud of him. He's training to become a physician, and is going to spend the summer the same as always: working and relaxing at home.   -Good news for fellow horror nerds: "From Beyond" and "The Burning" come out on Sept. 11th, 2007. So yeah, something good coming out of 9/11. I can't wait for "From Beyond", it's a wonderfully deranged movie.   -Finally, Charles Nelson Reilly died, which is a shame. I always liked the guy, and he's always quotable, so RIP Charlie.

Reasons the Venture Brothers rules

If you ask me, "The Venture Brothers" is the best thing on Adult Swim right now. Here is why:   -It's from two guys who worked on The Tick. Remeber that awesome cartoon?   -JG "Foetus" Thirwell does the shows music. And he does a hell of a job.   -The best characterization and continuity on a comedy show since "Arrested Developement"   -Brock Sampson is the biggest badass in cartoon history   -Dr. Venture is such an asshole (he even used an orphans heart to operate a machine), and you can't hate him. In fact, you can't hate any of the characters   -Hank's obsession with Batman   -Dean's schoolboy crush on Trianna. You just have to like Dean. Plus, I think she's starting to like him back   -Dr. Orpheus. Everything he says is hilarious. Plus, he's a wonderful parody of Vincent Price   -The constant Pop Culture references, ie William Burroghs, Hunter S. Thompson, Star Wars, and even H.P. Lovecraft get nods   -The Monarch   -The Monarch's henchmen   -Girl Hitler   -The fact that most of the villans have grudges against Dr. Venture because he is such a prick   -The most quotable thing on TV right now. Plus, the quotes and one liners never get old   -The fact that Brock, Dr Girlfriend, and Phantom Limb are the smartest people on the show   -Dr Girlfriend's voice, and the fact that she's able to put up with complete losers. I'm suprised she actually has had sex with Monarch   -Brock thinking Dr Girlfriend was once a man. I've thought the same thing   -Brock's sadomasochistic relationship with Moltov Cocktease   -Hank's creepy crush on Moltov Cocktease   -Monarch's henchmen singing "Mars, Bringer of War"   -Brock, naked and covered in Blood, singing Technotronic as a man's last request   -Dean's testicle problems. The poor kid gets the most abuse, and it's hilarious   -The villains various origins.   -Stephen Colbert has been on the show   -"IGNORE ME!"   -Brock telling Hank it's like he channels dead people   -The best realization that laughing at fucked up people and their problems is great since "Arrested Developement"

A look at the year so far

Music   We got new albums from: Ghostface Killah (best album of the year so far), Revolting Cocks (a dissapointment), Ministry (also a disappointment) The Sounds (a guilty pleasure to be sure), Current 93 (great album) Pet Shop Boys (good album), Mono, J. Dilla, and others who escape my mind right now.   Songs I don't want to hear anymore: "Ridin' Dirty" by Chamillionaire, "Move Along" by All American Rejects, anything from Hawthourne Heights, "Snap Your Fingers" bu Lil' Jon and the Eastside Boys   Guilty Pleasures-anything from Rhianna, "Ain't No Other Man" by Christina Agulaira.   Movies   The WWE released "See No Evil", which I didn't see, and I'm glad I didn't   "X-Men 3" came out. I eventually saw it (I know, after I said I wouldn't) with an open mind, and was still disappointed.   "Superman Returns" came out today and I'll see it on Friday.   "Hostel" disturbed the audience I saw it with, while "Slither" did bad boxoffice sadly, and I still haven't seen "Hard Candy" yet.   Al Gore's documentary about global warming came out to tell us how WE DIDN'T LISTEN!   A remake of "The Omen" came out, and sucked   The internet became even more obsessed with "Snakes on a Plane", and the joke just isn't funny anymore.   TV   "The Shield" kicked all of our asses with how awesome it is.   "South Park" was a mixed bag, with great episodes (Return of Chef, Cartoon Wars, TSST!) and some bad ones (ManBearPig, Smug Alert, A Million Little Fibers).   Adult Swim gave us new episodes of "The Venture Brothers" and "Tom Goes To The Mayor" and the pilot for "Korgoth of Barbaria", which made me happy. They also gave us "Moral Orel" (which tries way too hard) and "Minoriteam"(why?), which didn't make me happy.   Family Guy continued to be a shell of what was once a great show.   Bill O' Reilly became even more obnoxious.   Glenn Beck came in and annoyed me, while Olbermann is becoming too smug, and starting to become a little less amusing.   Henry Rollins got a new show, and it bores me.   The Internet   I gave you folks my blog, and you've been suffering because of it ever since.   Fark just doesn't amuse me anymore. Sure, some of the photoshop contests are cool, but some of the people who post there are total retards.   ytmnd declared war on Scientology.   I got in my first internet argument in my long time on the net with one Red Hot Thumbtack in the eye over the fact that I don't like the band Burzum.

Fucking neighbors

-Well, the last two nights have sucked. Two nights ago, idiots outside kept me awake. Last night, I was asleep...until 4:26 AM, when the person who lives right above me felt the need not only to talk really load with friends, but also blare music. Even ear plugs couldn't block the noise out. Can't a guy get some fucking sleep? I know, it's college, but come on, I have classes in the fucking morning. Keep it down for God's sake   -Pope Benedict is still behing the times, currently denouncing science. You know, when John Paul was Pope, science was actually embraced sometimes. Bet you didn't know that.   -I didn't see the ABC docudrama on 9/11. It pissed off some democracts, claiming it had some of it's facts wrong. Again, I wouldn't know, because I skipped it.   -I also skipped the season premire of "Family Guy", though you probably know that I've grown tired of it. I did catch "American Dad" however, though it was disappointing.

Unnatural History

-Well, I've got an exam on Wednesday in my Central Asian Arts class (we've gone over China and India already, so this one is Japan), and I've been studying since 1:00 PM today. I've got more to do tomorrow, an bit more on Wednesday, then the final. So I'm pretty much going to be busy for the next 2 days. I'd look up information about Sumo wrestling and Japanese pagodas on Wikipedia, but you really can't trust that place.   -Masters of Horror was a disappointment last Friday night. Fortunately, this Fridays episode, looks great.   -Things have been thankfuly quite down here lately, since it's finals week this week. This is great for me, as I have one more final to get ready for, and there haven't been any major distractions lately.   That's all for now. I know, it's not that much, but other than studying, nothing is really going on for me right now.

A Game Called "Spanking The Monkey"

-Shit, this has been a boring weekend. I've been stuck with homework, and the only time I get to go out is for dinner. Basically, I've been stuck in my dorm all weekend.   -I've been doing a lot of reading at night, mostly Richard Matheson. I love this guys work, and he's second to H.P. Lovecraft in my favorite horror authors of all time.   -Watched "Cabin Fever" last night. I still love that movie, so fuck the haters. For those of you who do love it, just some advice: You need to watch it more than once. The more you watch it, the more you'll recognize stuff and dialogue you didn't recognize before.   -I really don't have much else to say, so here's some YTMND links For Ya   Interpretation of the David Hasslehoff Song "Du" (I need to download this song some time) Scooby DU Return of the Mack Return of The Retun of The Mack Return of The Return of TheReturn of The Mack Return of The Return of The Return of The Return of The Mack and Finally Return of The Jesus

17-15

17.) DJ Shadow-The Outsider I love DJ Shadow. The albums Endtroducing and The Private Press pretty much define instrumentqal Hip-Hop. When I heard he was going to experiment with Hyphy and other styles, I was willing to give him the shadow (no pun intended) of a doubt. The end result is an absolute disaster, and the worst album that was released last year. Complete with bad U2 and Coldplay immitations, now played out attempts at sample-ridden instrumentals, and well, even fucking Q-Tip can't save it.   16.) Black Sabbath-Never Say Die! The last Sabbath studio album with Ozzy, Never Say Die! should have been called Pull The Plug. Full of bloated attempts at Prog-Rock , a generally disjointed feeling, a song ("Breakout") with saxaphone that goes nowhere, and Ozzy and the band sound unentusiastic. In other words, you can tell they don't want to be around one another.   15.) Black Sabbath-Forbidden The last Black Sabbath studio album, this is their worst. It features Ernie C (of Body Count fame), it features a duet with Ice-T (I'm not making this up), bad attempts at Power Metal, one of the worst Metal Ballads ever recorded ("Can't Get Close Enough"), and even sees Tony Iommi recycling a riff from one of his own songs. The album itself should be "Forbidden." LOL GET IT!?!? Ok, i'll shut up now.

Favorite Hip Hop songs part 3

Notorious BIG - Suicidal Thoughts "When I die, fuck it I wanna go to hell"   Dr. Dre/Snoop Dogg - Fuck With Dre Day I've mentioned this song before. Hip Hop amazes me in it's homophobia: It constantly attacks on homosexuals and the gay lifestyle, yet talks more about gay sex than a gay porn director.   Grand Master Flash and the Furious 5 - The Message A "favorite hio hop songs" list without this song? Fuck that.   A Tribe Called Quest - Jazz (We've Got) I really love this song. It's the group in their prime, it's one of the best examples of hip hop and jazz fusing together, and the organ kicks ass. There's some great tour stories involving these guys.   "Strictly hardcore tacks/not a New Jack Swing"   Dr. Octagon - Real Raw Dr Octagonecologyst is a great album, and this is the best song on it. It's a shame that Keith was never able to live it down (though Sex Style comes awfully close)   Mantronix - Bassline From the first (and best) Mantronix album, this is a great example of electro hip hop.   Erik B. & Rakim - Paid in Full The "7 Minutes of Madness" mix by Coldcut is even better.   LL Cool J - Rock the Bells Sure, "Momma Said" is good, but it doesn't even come close to this one.   Nas - The World is Yours Um, yeah. The best song he ever did, bar none Tell me otherwise. Come on, I dare ya.   Mobb Deep - Shook Ones Pt. II Yep, they were good once, believe it or not. I really love the piano loop.   The Roots -Silent Treatment Whether or not it's their best song is debatable, but it's a great song, and probably my favorite of theirs.   De La Soul - Say No Go While De La Soul is Dead is their best album, this is their best song.

30 Days of Night, and more

I know, it's been a while, but here's an entry.   -I saw "30 Days of Night", and it rocks. It's not 100% perfect (the acting is hit and miss), but it's still great. Also, it's nice to see a movie where vampires are treated as a threat. After the dull vampires of say, "Blade III", the overly glossy ones of "Underworld", the post-modern approach of movies like "Dracula 2000" and "Modern Vampyres", and etc., it's good to see a movie with vampires that don't wear capes, whine, or seduce people: These fuckers are vicious killing machines.   -I also recommend "Evil Aliens", which is now on DVD. Imagine early, "Bad Taste" and "Dead Alive" Peter Jackson, add British Humor, and the lowbrow gags of say, Trey Parker and Matt Stone, and this is what you get.   That's all for now. Next time: gary floyd rates new TV shows.

Random mussings.

Well first off, I take it back: I don't like the spirit squad anymore. Granted, I liked it at first, but the novelty has worn off pretty quick. I guess it's because it's now expected, and not so weird anymore.   Second, the season finale of Masters of Horror last Friday, called "Haeckle's Tale", was disappointing. It started out great, but as it progressed, it became just another zombie story, and really fell apart with it's "Tales from the Crypt" style ending. Oh well, at least there's next season. Anyways, here's my ratings for episodes, 1 being best, and 12 being worst.   1.) Cigarette Burns (directed by John Carpenter) 2.) Fair Haired Child (directed by William Malone) 3.) The Deer Woman (directed by John Landis) 4.) Homecoming (directed by Joe Dante) 5.) Incident on and off a Mountain Road (directed by Don Coscarelli) 6.) Jennifer (directed by Dario Argento) 7.) Dance of the Dead (directed by Tobe Hooper) 8.) Sick Girl (directed by Lucky McKee) 9.) Pick Me Up (directed by Larry Cohen) 10.) Chocolate (directed by Mick Garris) 11.) Haeckel's Tale (directed by John McNaughton) 12.) Dreams in the Witch House (directed by Stuart Gordon)   Anyone else but me watch the series, because I'm the only person here who seemed to talk about it.

Raw like Cocaine straight from Bolivia

-I didn't watch Raw last night (I watched the director's cut of "The Wild Bunch" instead), though from what I've read about it, it's most likely a good thing I missed it.   Also, Edge is the best heel in the WWE right now, bar none. The guy can work up a crowd like nobody else's buisiness, and gets more heel heat than anybody else in the company.   -What happened to Leena? Just a question, but really, what happened to her? Also, Ortonsault will probably hate me, because I don't like Randy Orton.   -I'll say this about Ann Coulter: Fuck her. Fuck that fucking bitch.   -In my last entry, I mentioned my love for the fighting game "Primal Rage", so now, let me mention two I always hated: Beast Wrestle and Rise of the Robots. BW was ridiculously retarded, and was boring to boot. I would talk more about ROTR, but all my complaints about that game have already been said by everyone else.   Well, that's all for now. Next time: Why "The Henry Rollins Show" sucks, and whatever happened to Carnival?

A review of "The Bighead"

Sick. Perverted. Pornographic. Politically Incorrect. Darkly Comic. Scatalogical. Tasteless. Blasphemous. Disgusting. Evil. These are just some of the words that could describe Edward Lee's book "The Bighead"   First, a little background info on the man himself. Ed Lee is one of the most hardcore horror authors out there. Sure, he has written mainstram fare, a childrens book, and is a hell of a pulp horror writer (see "Creekers" and "Coven" for examples). However, it's works like "Goon", "The Pig", Ever Nat", and other small publisher books that have gained him notority. It's easy to see why, also. The are violent, repugnant, pornographic, and warped tales of grotesque erotic horror, laced in pitch black horror. Out of all his works though, his most well known is "The Bighead"   The Bighead tells the tale of Luntville, and two city girls: Charity and Jerrica, visiting Charity's aunt. While Charity is having problems finding the right man, Jerrica is a sex addict, who has taken a liking to a foul mouthed priest in Father Thomas, who is being haunted in his dreams by two nuns from hell, who have some stomach churning fetishes. Oh, and there are two sick rednecks, Travis and Dicky, who will rape and kill anyone in their path. Let's just say that these guys and the nuns give the book "American Psycho" a run for it's money in the torture and rape department.   Oh, and there is the legend of The Bighead. Who is the Bighead? Why, he's a seven foot something inches tall homocidal pervert with a hydrophalic (giant head filled with water) and a fourteen inch long cock, who loves rape, murder, and brain eating. And it seems Charity's Aunt Annie knows a bit too much about him...   Before you think of reading this, I might want to warn you: this book is sick. There's rape, murder, cannibalism, loads of sex, scatology, watersports, urinary catherization, sacriligious behaviour, abortion, babies having their heads smashed in, and more. This stuff makes "Jackass" look like the Teletubbies. If you think nothing can gross you out, then this will prove you wrong.   But is it a good?   Well yes, it is. For all the disgusting moments and general sickness on display, this book works. This is mainly due to it's warped sense of humor. One way to look at it is a horror answer to "The Aristocrats", in the fact that it constantly one ups itself with sick moments.   Also, the characters are interesting. The reader goes on to feel bad for Father Thomas, who only wants to do the right thing, as well as Jerrica. The other great thing is the redneck stereotypes, ranging from Travis (who outdoes the sickos from "Deliverence"), Dicky, and even handyman Goop Gooder. Over the top redneck dialogue, booger pickeng, and a general lack of "edu-ma-cation" makes for a good laugh.   There are a few problems. In particular, how have Dicky and Travis been able to get away with their rape and murder spree for so long? Oh, and the ending, when you find out Bighead's origins, will either disappoint you, or you will have no problem with it.   In the end, "Bighead" is a sick, demented ride of pornographic, scatalogical, and sadistic horrors that will either have you disgusted, or laughing your ass off. I ended up doing both.   8.5/10   You can get it here.

Slightly Eventful Sunday,29-27

-Well, I went to Big Boy's for Breakfast yesterday (what can I say, their breakfast bar rules, and Bob Evans was crowded) and saw something that I've never seen before, or at least in person: a female Insane Clown Posse fan who wasn't ugly or fat. Well, her face was so-so, but she had a pretty good body, and a nice ass. Who knew such a thing existed.   Afterwards, I stopped at Best Buy to get Venture Bros. Season 2 on DVD (it's great, though the commentary tracks are so-so), then went to Meijer to get some food. I also started reading Jack Ketchum's "The Lost", and it's been great so far. The guy's one of my favorite horror authors, and everyone should read him.   Now, back to the countdown.   29.) Death in June-All Pigs Must Die Hey, it's Death in June, doing the whole neo-folk with fascist overtones thing-again. Only this time it's uninteresting, and shows the eventual musical mediocrity that's unfortunately plagued them since. It also drags on too long, and while he at least tried something a bit different, it's attempts at dirge-like atmosphere and eeriness falls right on it's face.   28.) Prince-The Rainbow Children I love Prinve. Who doesn't love Prince. That out of the way, there's no denying that he's cut some bad albums, and while there has been debate over what his worst album is, I'd say it's this one. Here, Prince lets the world know he's a Jehovas Witness (at least he did go door to door over it), and records an album made up of really bad attempts at sounding like James Brown, Sly Stone, and other such greats. It also has some of the worst lyrics he's ever written.   27.) Kiss-Music for the Elder One of the worst (and most puzzling) concept albums ever recorded (ELP's Tarkus, while a shitty album, gets a pass for having such an odd but awesome concept), Music for the Elder pissed off whatever remaining Kiss fans existed at the time, with it's shitty attempts at Prog Rock, and was the final straw for Ace Frehley, who left the band after the albums release. Who could really blame him?

Albums on my IPod

Ever since I got an IPod, I've had albums on it that are favorites on that IPod, Thing is, that list tends to change, so here's soe current favorites.   The Slits-Cut-A reggae producer produces a band from an all femal punk band who aren't that good with their instruments (what punk band back in the day was?) and makes this badass album. It's a punk/postpunk classic, with plenty of reggae/dub rhythms, sardonic lyrics, and plenty of attitude.   James Brown-Black Caesar OST-Soundtrack Brown did for a Blaxspotation flick is pretty damn catchy, with classics like "The Boss" and "Down and Out in New York City." A realy underrated gem.   Cabaret Voltaire-Code-OOP and hard to find, this album is probably the groups most accessible release, filled with electro and funk groves while still not losing any of their identity.   Joy Division-Closer-The band's second (and last) studio album predicts the oncoming goth and new wave movements coming together. Also may be the most depressing album ever recorded.   EPMD-Strictly Buisiness-Old school hip hop at it's best, with plenty of samples, catchy beats, and awesome rhymes. Also the first hip hop album I know of to reference Steve Martin.   Scientist-Heavyweight Dub Champion-Pretty short, but awesome dub reggae album.   Agalloch-Not Unlike the Waves-I already mentioned this in the "Metal Albums I'm enjoying" entry.   Henry Mancini-A Touch of Evil OST-Hell yes. Soundtrack to a classic film noir movie directed by Orson Welles, and full of old scholl rock, afro cuban rhythms, sleezy horns, old west style pianos, and other such things   Manfred Hubler and Siegfried Schwab-Vampyros Lesbos Sexadelic Dance Party-Another awesome soundtrack (to a pretty bad movie) features plenty of organ, mod style fuzzy guitars, sitars, trombones, and other old school psychedelic sounds. Great stuff.

Favorite Hip Hop songs part 2

Ice Cube - Today was a Good Day His jimmy went so deep it put the mammy to sleep. Those are words to love.   Wu Tang Clan - Bring Tha Ruckus Probably my favorite album opening yet, and an excellent statement of intent song. Ghost Face Killah's verse in the song is sure awesomeness.   Pharcyde - I'm That Type of Nigga The Pharcyde's first ablum is one of my favorite hip hop albums of all time, and this song is all kinds of awesome.   Notorious B.I.G. - Warning Let's put it to rest folks: lyrically, Biggie was always better than Tupac, and deserves more accolades than Tupac, who, let's face it, had albums filled with filler.   NWA - Straight out of Compton I still refuse to believe Ice Cube was in "Are We There Yet?" and it's sequal.   Public Enemy - Rebel Without a Pause My favorite PE song. Sure, Fear of a Black Planet may have more sonoc innovations, but lyrically, It Takes a Nation is superior.   GZA/Genius - Liquid Swords It's hard to pick a best song off of the album Liquid Swords, but here's my pick. RZA's stripped sown production is top notch, and GZA is great as always.   Beastie Boys - Shake Your Rump The best Beastie song off the best Beastie album. Slick sample ridden funk thanks to the Dust Bros., and some of the Beasties best rhymes. It's amazing that they were once good. Now they just kind of suck.   Ghostface Killah - K.I.L.O. In spite of popular opinion, I still think that Fishscale is the best solo Wu Tang album. I absolutely love this album.   Jay-Z - Nigga What Still my favorite Jay-Z song, with some awesome production (it's kinda spacey), an awesome beat, great chorus (Jay seems to have a way with choruses), and a great flow.   Snoop Dogg - Serial Killer This song always gets overlooked, IMO. The beat is incredible (Dre's early production is awesome), as well as Snoop in his prime.   Justin Warfield - B-Boys on Acid Warfield's album My Field Trip to Planet 9 is one of the most overlooked albums in 90's Hip Hop. It's a psychedelic, drug fueled, jazzy, and all around awesome album. This song captures the tone of the album perfectly.   More to come

Cosmo Kramer Doesn't care about Black People

-In case you didn't hear, Michael Richards, aka Kramer from Seinfeld, was doing stand up recently, when a pair of black guys stated to heckle him. His response: He went on a huge racist tirade.   If he wasn't jewish, I'd call him KKKramer.   -Thanks for the responses in my last entry guys. My blog wasn't getting any attention at the time, and I wanted some, so thanks.   -I was unfortunately unable to catch Horrorfest's 8 Films To Die For. So, anyone who did, let me know how it was.   -Well, it's nearing December. I'm just mentioning this to let you guys know that I'll be doing a few year end reviews in December, looking at horror, music, and this whole mess of a message board.

47-45, Karl Rove get's Ill

-Before we get back to the countdown, Here's Karl Rove setting white people back. Word. I never thought I'd say it, but poor Karl Rove...   Now, thw countdown countinues   47.) Neil Young-Landing on Water I love Neil Young. Hell, who doesn't? That out of the way, nobody loves this album. Here, Neil tries to mix the style of his band Crazy Horse with modern music styles-and it all falls apart. The album is incredibly dated, and I'm sorry Neil, but loud 80's Drums don't fit you. The whole album is hard to listen to (yes, even harder than Eveybody's Rockin', though that ones forgivable for the fact that Young was intentionally trying to piss off Geffen.)   46.) Hammer-The Funky Headhunter Let's face it, while it's hard to take him seriously, you can't deny that guys like MC Hammer helped Hip-Hop crossover to the pop mainstream. When he tried to reinvent himself as a Gangsta rapper, you can guess how well that turned out. Sure, "Pumps and a Bump" may be one of the great idiotic Rap tunes, but the whole album is laughably bad because he actually tries to pull this off without a single hint of irony. Think about this: the guy who had a Saturday Morning cartoon tried to come off as a hardcore rapper. Cool album title though...   45.) The Rolling Stones-Dirty Work Just like Neil Young a year earlier, The Rolling Stones try to fit in with the times-and fail. The Rolling Stones with synthesized production? No. Also, the band sounds bored, especially Jagger, who sounds like he doesn't know why he's doing this. Even Tom Waits, or as Incandenza likes to call him, God, can't save the album with his appearence. Oh, and the album cover is one of the worst album covers ever made.

Her Ass Is A Spaceship That I Want To Ride

-Good God, there been quite a few bannings lately. So far, it seems like fanofcoils, Desperate Housewife, and Dam(o)n Yankees have been kicked out. So, what does ol' lovecraft think of this? Well, here are my thoughts of the banned offenders, including some long delayed thoughts on someone banned a while back.   .Dam(o)n Yankees-While he did get in a few arguments, and say some stupid things, he really didn't do anything to annoy me. To be honest, I don't see why he was banned, though I would like to know why.   .Desperate Housewife-I can see why. The guy constantly chastized posters in the WWE forums (including yours truely) for complaining in a "fan forum" (which it is not) about the product. I've already said it several times, so I'll say it again: This is the fucking internet. People complain over dumb shit all of the time, and it's nothing new. If you can't take the heat, then step away from the fire.   .fanofcoils-This guy should have been banned the first time he made an idiotic comment. Everyone from Special K, Vitamin X, Slayer, and yours truely couldn't stand the guy. Plus, he was the ultimate troll (read the threads on V for Vendetta and The Hills Have Eyes in the movie forum), derailed threads (as Special K pointed out), and was most likely some past banned poster. Good fucking riddance.   .MikeSC-An oldie to be sure. Wow, were to start. Randomly insulting people. Failing to back up his "facts". Trolling the NWA TNA forums. Turning a "Farenheit 9/11" discussion into a shitstorm (and I didn't even like the damn movie). Calling Islam a "Radical Death Cult". The list just goes on. At least he has his own message board now.   Glad I got all of that off of my chest. Anyways, here's some cool videos from YouTube   -Can performing their song "Paperhouse" -Video for Cabaret Voltaire's "Sensoria" -YOU DUMBASS! (I'm one of the few people on Earth who liked this show. Oh Well.)

This Post Brought to you by The Oozinator

-Well, I'm pretty busy as of late, which isn't the best way to start out the first entry of May '06. Oh well.   -Has anybody seen the new commercial for the new Super Soaker called "The Oozinator"? If so, I just have to tell you: It scares the shit out of me. The commercial looks like it was made by pedophiles.   -I saw Steve Colbert's ripping on the president on the net last night, and I liked what I saw. The silence in the room (filled with other Republicans) makes it a bit uncomfortable though.   -Last Saturday's "Best Of" SNL episode (Best of TV Funhouse) was awesome. I always loved the TV Funhouse skits, and they had some of my favorites, including the X-Presidents, Fun With Real Audio (The Newscaster one and the MCain one were awesome, as was the Clinton Testimony one), Shazaang!, Cartoons in Black History (My favorite being the all African singing one), "Trapped In The Disney Vault", "Christmas Time For the Jews" The tribute to Charles Schultz...they had almost everything. The only problems were the cutting some of them got, and the Ace and Gary bits were annoying. Oh, and for thouse of you who wish they had the Ray Lewis one, Here's "Ray of Light".   -Now, here's a website for ya: http://www.bangme.net/ . There's some real "winners" here, just to let you know.
