Britpop video of the day-Pulp-"Bad Cover Version"

This is not old but it's funny. Even if you don't like Pulp, britpop or England watch this video and you will be amused.

Britpop video of the day-Prodigy-"Wind it up"

I used to really like the Prodigy. I don't know how britpop it is but it's pretty british. Techno pop

Britpop video of the day-Sleeper-"Inbetweener"

I actually saw Sleeper at the Empire State Plaza in 1997. I got to meet the band after the show. They were actually very nice. I'm not all that much into their music but it does fit into the Britpop era very well.

Britpop video of the day-Gene-"Where are they now"

This band actually brings back very fond memories. It was 1999 and I was visiting my friend Jill in London. We got tickets to go see Gene. The concert was good and some guy gave up back stage passes. It was open bar, so my friend and I got pretty drunk. The lead singer, Martin something or other came out. I was pretty drunk at this point. I just remember I licked his face. Yeah, weird I know. I figured what do I have to lose. Nothing!! I got free drink BIATCH!

My opinion only.

I just wanted to say that my thoughts and comments on Nickelback are my views only. I'm not saying that I know about good music or really even listen to it. I mean I listen to Duran Duran. But I really really don't like them. I think my blog will be turning into a music blog where I will express my opinions-and, they are only opinions.

Britpop video of the day-Menswear-"Daydreamer"

This is going to be a new thing of mine. Everyday I'm going to put a britpop video. Like anyone cares but me. Oh well, at least I'm entertained.

I love Brit Pop!!

1995-1999 I loved Brit pop. I don't know if anyone knows what Brit pop is, but I loved it!! I wanted to be british. This caused some problems in high school. When I was in high school it wasn't cool to be weird, or if it was it was only to be weird in a Marilyn Manson type way. Thanks to You Tube, I'm going to post some great brit pop videos of the 90's. Enjoy.

Bloodhound Gang is a good band?

My blog seems to be turning into a music blog...hmmm ideas. Anyway, sitting on the couch with Bill, Javen and Paul, I decided to look up Bloodhound Gang videos. I think they are very clever. I don't think they get enough credit. YES, I LIKE THE BLOODHOUND GANG.

A Morrissey/Killers video montage

Just a quick add on to my previous post on the Killers. They did a cover of Morrissey's, "Why don't you find out for yourself" which was absolutly wonderful. There have been a lot of Smiths/Morrissey covers and most bands really mess them up. The Killers did a very good version. They opened for Morrissey in 2004. I wish I got to see them, istead I got to see Buster Poindexter and some Irish dude who seemed like he should be singing in a pub. Thanks a lot Morrissey. I spent about $400 to go to your concert and you couldn't even provide me with a decent opening act.

The Killers-"When you were Young"

At first, I didn't really like this song all that much but its really growing on me. I love the Killers first album, "Hot Fuss". I think the songs that weren't released as singles are some of the best on the album. It's fun music, not trying to be all Nickelback like. I don't know what I think of Brandon Flowers facial hair though. I think he is an attractive man. I prefer clean shaven but I guess it sort of works on him.

Who's worse? Nickelback or Nelly Furtado? I say it's pretty much equal.

You are so street. It's hard growing up in Canada and being Portuguese. You can really connect with the black youth of America.







OK, so I may have lied a little in my last blog entry. I was drunk and delirious. I think Nickelback is possibly one of the worst bands ever. I hate them in the way I hate Nelly Furtado and her stupid promiscuous sluttiness. Oh yeah, she also has thick legs. Anyway, Bill Shannon said that he sort of likes the one Nickelback song which is linked to my previous blog. They write horrible lyrics and think they actually writing about something important. Anway, here are some
Smiths song lyrics from "The Hand That Rocks the Cradle". Compare to Nickelbacks, "Photograph". I mean what the hell is on Joey's head anyway?


The Smiths-"The Hand That Rocks the Cradle"

Please don't cry
For the ghost and the storm outside
Will not invade this sacred shrine
Nor infiltrate your mind
My life down I shall lie
If the bogey-man should try
To play tricks on your sacred mind
To tease, torment, and tantalise
Wavering shadows loom
A piano plays in an empty room
There'll be blood on the cleaver tonight
And when darknesss lifts and the room is bright
I'll still be by your side
For you are all that matters
And I'll love you to till the day I die
There never need be longing in your eyes
As long as the hand that rocks the cradle is mine
Ceiling shadows shimmy by
And when the wardrobe towers like a beast of prey
There's sadness in your beautiful eyes
Oh, your untouched, unsoiled, wonderous eyes
My life down I shall lie
Should restless spirits try
To play tricks on your sacred mind
I once had a child, and it saved my life
And I never even asked his name
I just looked into his wondrous eyes
And said : "never never never again"
And all too soon I did return
Just like a moth to a flame
So rattle my bones all over the stones
I'm only a beggar-man whom nobody owns
Oh, see how words as old as sin
Fit me like a glove
I'm here and here I'll stay
Together we lie, together we pray
There never need be longing in your eyes
As long as the hand that rocks the cradle is mine
As long as the hand that rocks the cradle is mine
Mine
Climb up on my knee, sonny boy
Although you're only three, sonny boy
You're - you're mine
And your mother she just never knew
Oh, your mother ...
As long ... as long ... as long
I did my best for her
I did my best for her
As long ... as long ... as long as ... as long
I did my best for her
I did my best for her
Oh ...

Nickelback-"Photograph"

Photograph by Nickelback
Look at this photograph
Every time I do it makes me laugh
How did our eyes get so red
And what the hell is on Joey's head

And this is where I grew up
I think the present owner fixed it up
I never knew we'd ever went without
The second floor is hard for sneaking out

And this is where I went to school
Most of the time had better things to do
Criminal record says I've broke in twice
I must have done it half a dozen times

I wonder if it's too late
Should I go back and try to graduate
Life's better now than it was back then
If I was them I wouldn't let me in
Oh oh oh
Oh god I, I

Every memory of looking out the back door
I had the photo album spread out on my bedroom floor
It's hard to say it,
time to say it
Goodbye goodbye
Every memory of walking out the front door
I found the photo of the friend that I was looking for

It's hard to say it,
time to say it
Goodbye goodbye

Remember the old arcade
Blew every dollar that we ever made
The cops hated us hanging out
They say somebody went and burned it down

We used to listen to the radio
And sing along with every song we'd know
We said someday we'd find out how it feels
To sing to more than just the steering wheel

Kim's the first girl I kissed
I was so nervous that I nearly missed
She's had a couple of kids since then
I haven't seen her since God knows when
Oh oh oh
Oh god I, I

Every memory of looking out the back door
I have the photo album spread out on my bedroom floor
It's hard to say it,
time to say it
Goodbye goodbye
Every memory of walking out the front door
I found the photo of the friend that I was looking for
It's hard to say it,
time to say it
Goodbye goodbye

I miss that town
I miss the faces
You can't erase
You can't replace it
I miss it now
I can't believe it
So hard to stay
Too hard to leave it

If I could relive those days
I know the one thing that would never change
Every memory of looking out the back door
I have the photo album spread out on my bedroom floor
It's hard to say it, time to say it
Goodbye goodbye
Every memory of walking out the front door
I found the photo of the friend that I was looking for
It's hard to say it,
time to say it
Goodbye goodbye

Look at this photograph
Every time I do it makes me laugh
Every time I do it makes me

Nickelback is awesome!!!!!!!!!!!

I think Nickelback may be the best band ever. I mean, Chad Kroeger is so fucking hot!!! All their songs so much different. WOW! They do have talent. I mean, what the hell was on Joey's head? I really want to know. Please Chad, tell me!!! You are so fucking hot and talented!! Nickelback fans know real music.

This is the most disturbing thing ever! WHY GOD, WHY!?!

Pink little Squirrel

On Tuesday I was already to go to Bomber's for Dunfords birthday with Javen and Becks. I drove to the old homestead and got out of the car. Across from the car on the street was a little pink thing which I thought was a dead mouse. As I got closer I saw that it was moving and that it was in fact, a baby squirrel. I took an ALDI circular out of my car and scooped the little thing up. I called Javen and told him to come downstairs. I looked at him and said, "look what I found". He had thought I picked up a dead animal. I told him to call the vet. We called and they said that we had to call a wildlife rescue person and I was given numbers. Needless to say, hours later and a trip to Bomber's Buritto Bar with the squirrel I finally found a place to bring the baby. I guess people are trained to take care of wildlife, but I didn't know how difficult it was to find someone. Javen and I must have called about 20 people!! I hope the little guy is doing well.

Obsessed cats sort of scare Javen.

It's nice to have a loyal animal. It's sort of disturbing to have an obsessed animal. Symon is so obsessed with Javen it's sick. Look at that paw on the shoulder. Mr. Hoff only wishes he had the love of Symon. Too bad Symon turned down Paul's proposal. Sorry!! Symon found his true love in Javen.

Bojanglin and TT go to White Castle

I wanted to go to IKEA. I don't know why, but for some reason I needed to go that day. It was pouring out and about 3 in the afternoon. Javen and I drove to Paramus, NJ about 2.5 hours away. IKEA was huge! They have a lot of cool things but you really need to spend almost a whole day there. Before our trip to IKEA, I looked up the nearest White Castle to Paramus, NJ. About 7 miles away, in Paterson, NJ, was a delicious White Castle. We drove there after IKEA, salivating for the delicious fake meat....YUM! Paterson, NJ was like the armpit of America. Soooo scummy and gross. We decided to go through the drive through since it was sort of a scary neighborhood. We got the sack of burgers, 5 plain and 5 cheese along with onion rings and french fries. At the drive through there was bullet proof glass. I guess people like to rob White Castle. It is pretty good. If I was desperate enough I might rob it. I stuffed burger after burger into my mouth while driving through the ghetto, onions flying all over my car. I was so enthralled with my food that I didn't even pay attention to all the gang members. I really like White Castle. Javen enjoyed it also. I can't say I enjoyed Paterson NJ. New Jersey is weird and G.H.E.T.T.O!!!!!!!

Catskill Game Farm made me cry.

I am tired so I'm not going to write too much, but I just thought I needed to get the word out. About two weeks ago we went to the Catskill Gam Farm. I remembered it from a child. I hadn't been there since I was in second grade. I love animals and I thought it would be fun. It was the most depressing place ever! All the animals looked depressed. There were sheep coughing, birds with broken feet. The lions cage was just pathetic. I actually cried. It's closing in October. I hope the woman who owns it can find these poor animals a good home.
