Anyone who says "Waiting" is Thursday's worst album is an ass hole

Seriously.....are you that slow minded? I think it is superior to War All The Time and A City By The Light Divided. Full Collapse is close but I feel Waiting is the best. It is the most honest, raw, and most compelling album. Dying In New Brunswick, In Transmission, and Streaks In The Sky are some of the best songs in their catalog. Whoever says this is their worst is a meathead. Go swim in quicksand.

I don't wanna type much and I'm sort of tired so yeah..........bleh


P.S. "The Argument" by Fugazi is my favorite by the band.

I've been all about My Bloody Valentine!

Ever listen to music that makes you feel like you are floating in the air looking down at fields of flowers while smiling to the point where your face starts hurting? That is what My Bloody Valentine does for me. My Bloody Valentine is a shoegaze band, which in my world means a band that plays dreamy musical orgasms. They have influenced people ranging from Tim Payne of Thursday to Trent Reznor. They are very innovative and influential. Lately I cannot stop listening to them. I've been listening to "Isn't Anything", their first album. Before that they released a bunch of ep's. I love this album, even though I'd say the one after it, "Loveless" is much stronger and in the zone. In the My Bloody Valentine fan kingdom, if you like anything more than Loveless, it seems like your opinion to most fans means shit. I find it amusing how it seems like a war between fans at times over their own opinions. I'm listening to the song "Come In Alone" off of "Loveless" and my dog keeps barking at it. Which is weird since he is a rather quiet dog. Could this mean he approves or disapproves? Is he saying "This is cool!" or "Shut this crap off!"? If he is saying the latter, he's out of his little mind. Kevin Shields is one of my heroes. The way he writes his music amazes me. He plays guitar by strumming chords with his tremolo bar and makes sounds he himself has trouble recreating live. The layering in the songs is so well done and fits so well that it makes you feel like you have just took a lot of good acid. Even though it makes you feel that way, stay away from the drugs since My Bloody Valentine can give you a better trip than LSD. Drugs are poop! Anyway, I like mostly all of their stuff. Except for the early stuff when Shields didn't sing and Bilinda Butcher wasn't in the band. It is very much garage rock and sounds like Screaming Jay mixed with The Sonics, very different from their later Cocteau Twins and The Jesus and the Mary Chain influenced sound. The song that got me into them was "Sometimes". It still remains one of the most important songs to me. I recommend that if you want to start to listen to them you check out anything off of Loveless then move your way down to the earlier stuff. This band is too fucking good.

Songs to start with:
Sometimes
Soon
Only Shallow
Come In Alone

All are off Loveless.

Then listen to "Isn't Anything" and anything else.

Do It!

Black Metal Fans


I enjoy listening to music. I have gone through a green day phase, rap phase (Fiddy yo!), a grunge phase, and an elitist metalhead phase throughout my life. I have learned that the stupidest, the most ignorant and meatheaded people are typically black metal fans. I was into it at one point but I knew that the whole concept was absurd and totally the opposite of "cool". Most tend to be elistests and dickheaded. Who can take a man serious when he is parading around hailing satan with face paint and spikes acting like a run down version of a bear? I cannot! The music is absolutelty generic. Most stuff has the same basis, abort christ, be "kvlt" and grim, hail satan, etc... Hah! The vocals are the worst in the world. In the words of a great teacher I've had known as Dags, "they sound like they swallowed a gravel pit!"

I go on last.fm regularly. I was looking at a picture for the screamo band "Frail" and I see their is also a black metal band with this name. Of course, the screamo band is being bashed and called "faggotry" (Running around in leather tights in a cold scandanavian forest with your buddies is so heterosexual huh?) I naturally left a comment. The picture at the top of this blog is it. Listening to a wide selection of music for ignorance? That is the single stupidest thing I have ever read. That is an example of a lazy minded shitbag. I may be steriotyping, but this is reoccuring with fans of black metal. Some are probably not narrow minded and actually have sense. I like those people. For others such as Mr.Profounddemonium. You are an asshat.

Hello!

I made this site because, well, I like to ramble and rant about nonsense. I enjoy being critical and opinionated. What you can expect on this blog is my rants, music reviews, movie reviews, and anything that pops up in my head. Enjoy!
