Friday Music Explained on Saturday

1. Heaven's a Lie by Lacuna Coil - I've been on a Lacuna Coil kick lately. What was once a "when the mood hit me" band has become one of my favorites. I don't know if its Cristina Scabbia's voice, the band having a more unique sound in comparison to other stuff I listen to, or just flat out Italian pride (They're from Milan, Italy... My ancestry is mostly Italian...).
   
2. Wicked Game covered by Stone Sour - Bought this one on download from iTunes, as it has been stuck in my head since I saw them last march and they did this live. Absolutely amazing show. What really cracks me up though, is that this is the guy singing it... although the pic is him in his other band, Slipknot.
3. She Builds Quick Machines by Velvet Revolver - Such a happy blend of GnR and STP, yet modernized. Excellent song, can't wait for the new disc to come out. My biggest problem is Slash's guitar solo needed to be longer. It seems like as soon as he started going the reigns were pulled back on him. BAD PRODUCER.... BAD!!! Hopefully its just a radio edit.
4. Heart Shaped Glasses by Marilyn Manson - Manson's back, and the new disc is good. Not one of his best efforts... but not trash. This one has found its way into my head way too many times.
5. Wish You Were Here by Pink Floyd - Don't know how this one snuck back up on me... but it did. This is probably the song that really got me hooked on Floyd many years ago. One of my friends used to play this all the time on his guitar, so of course I'd take on vocals... *sigh* The days of youth.
6. Online by Gnarls Barkley - This song is just way too catchy. Its an excellent, laid back, summer song.
7. Billie Jean covered by Chris Cornell - The former Soundgarden and former Audioslave frontman put out a second solo CD... and this is the song that I got stuck in my head from it. It isn't even that great. I hope he can manage to not let his wife pull another Yoko on him, and make him break up a good band, again, over petty shit. Chris, you got the vocals, you just need a backing crew that's talented AND original. Your solo stuff is alright, but doesn't come close to your efforts with Audioslave or Soundgarden.
8. Viva Las Vegas covered by Nine Inch Elvis - Elvis songs done in the style of Nine Inch Nails. Its not that good. Its kinda twisted. But the second I made reservations for Vegas this one crept into my head, and refuses to leave.
9. Disarm by Smashing Pumpkins - The pumpkins were always huge out here, since they are from Chicago. I'm excited about the new disc, but haven't heard anything off of it, so I managed to get the first song I heard from them stuck in my head. At least its a good one.
10. Violent Pornography by System of a Down - For some reason, I equate this song with the summer and drinking beer. So... two years straight it gets warm, and I feel I must listen to this one... nonstop.
    

Friday Music...

Yes, I know I do this next to never, but eh... Its hard finding the stuff that's been stuck in my head. I'm pickier than writing about it, I want people to hear the obscurity... which means sometimes I can't write about it all instantly... maybe after work...

Coincidence?

Vegas Baby, Vegas

Just because I've been running around almost everywhere else like a little kid with a new toy, bragging... I figured I should here too.

After several years of lockdown, being attached to books and broke, I finally am able to take a trip.

First weekend of August I'll be in Vegas for my 5th or 6th time. Such a happy place.

Drinking.

Debauchery.

Gambling.

Good times...

Show Them To Me

I have a new favorite song. Too bad the You Tube police will probably kill this video real quick, due to... adult content.

Subpoena for Wittle Georgey

It's finally happened.

Dubs got subpoenaed for his Illegal wiretapping program that he says is legal cuz he's the King of Merica.

Now, he can cooperate within the democracy, and get fucked... -OR- he can fight, and continue to show his legacy as the president who thought he was king and above everyone else.

Unfortunately I'm thinking the guy won't listen, and is going to single handedly bring about the complete and total destruction of the integrity of his position (not that he has much left).

This Is Deep

I forgot about this one... This song is so much deeper than I gave it credit for when I was in High School.

Nine Inch Nails, 50 Cent, and Yoda

I Find Large Posteriours Enjoyable by Spock

U Can Has Cheeseburger

I Can Has Cheeseburger?

Mashed Potato

I Love This Image

I can't get enough of it. It mesmerizes me.

There is nothing better, than seeing a spoiled billionaire kid, getting hauled off to the pokey.

Crying. No make up. No annoying little dog.

Rape in Duckburgh

Felt a need to post...

NIMBY

We all know the acronym NIMBY.

Not in my back yard.

Naples in Italy is one city that takes it to heart.

They've had a trash problem for years, and object to the idea of having a dump put in close to their city. So, they've been rightiously fighting it.

Now, the landfill they were using is full, and they have NO WHERE to put their trash. So, its sits in their front yards, festering and decomposing and fermenting into a luxiourious and rotting producer of methane and maggots.

Some residents are burning their trash, adding a lovely smell of burnt garbage and toxic gas to the mix.

They are sure showing the powers that be who's boss.
